@mariner4life Rugbypass cut out. What happened?

Naivalu scored through a weak Barrett tackle.

Problems are elsewhere though, forwards away from the ruck and midfield missing tackles and conceding linebreaks

[Stargazer]

HT: NZ 17 - 10 AUS

Barrett got run over. Got plenty of shoulder on him, just lacked the force snd the body height

Shit half of rugby. Wallabies aren't much chop, and we look like it's a training run.

Yep, the forwards were half asleep during that passage of play.

[Stargazer]

Time to make some changes to the squad.

Sam Whitelock fell off badly there. Bbbr on after the break please

[Tim]

@mariner4life Massive come down after the NPC final, though I guess this game is much faster.

I've got a flu, so I put on a bathrobe, made a cup of tea, and took the laptop to bed.

Massively flattering scoreline to Aus at the break.

Woba kinda deserved that try but how the fuck was that not a penalty with Ardie over the ball?

[Machpants]

@booboo ref seems as disinterested in the finer points of the game as the ABs do. Better be a big uptick second half

[Machpants]

On rugby pass just showing the field, grounds men all over trying to sort out all the divots

[sparky]

All Blacks ahead on the scoreline and looking the much better side. ABs have the better bench too.

ABs need to improve their accuracy and be more clinical in the second half. Cool heads and turn possession into points.

Mediocre game on a poor playing surface, ABs will need to play with much more intensity, focus and energy against England and Ireland.

DMac gives me the shits the way he hesitates with his pass (while he thinks about running - he wants to), and runs across field behind everyone who running direct lines have now run past him. That stuff is for later on. Not first 20.

Watching from our seats - our midefid is sloooooooo. Makes for a lot of opportunities to exploit space wider.

[sparky]

All Blacks only made 160 metres from 69 carries. Need better ball carriers and a sharper midfield.

[Stargazer]

[akan004]

Time to get a new defence coach.

Yep, we can maybe afford to have one of SBW and Crotty on, but not both anymore.

[antipodean]

Wallabies letting us off again.

To be fair, we shouldn't have been in this position as the cleanout on DMac came from the sideline, right in front of "we have a deal".

[akan004]

Dumb play from Read.

[Mokey]

If this is a world cup ground, I hope they are going to sort out the surface before next year.
