    I thought Smith's actions were dodgy myself.

    Yep - it certainly looked marginal. You're entitled to run a supporting line, but being in front at the start makes it look pretty ugly.

    That said, every side does it - watch players get into the defensive line, and then speed up or slow down to pull defensive players out of position as they drift and block sightlines. It's legal, but only just.

    Nothing in that at all. Smith running a good support line. Aussie defenders behind the play or coming from the side. They needed to get around the ABs who were going forward.

    I thought the dodgiest one was when DMac did one of his trademark cross field runs and ran in behind another AB as a Wallaby was coming forward. Can’t remember which one of those trademark runs it was - there were at least 3 - but that should’ve been a penalty against the ABs.

    I think there was something in it, not an outrageous foul, but just enough to take a second look. If there's one thing you don't want to do when about to dot down for a 5 pointer is give a ref a reason to have a second look.

    I think Aaron is getting too 'clever' for his own good lately. Passing deliberately into PSDT 1 metre out from the tryline in his last match, almost DHPed a certain try here if the TMO was wearing different knickers that day.

    Just play rugby Aaron. He's gone from being the most vital part of the team to not worthy of a starting place IMO. Usurped by a guy we used to call Flapanara. Shows where concentrating on the actual game and taking positive action within the rules can get you.

    Ecactly

    @siam He's a Crusaders supporter. Stoic silence is how they'd like to watch ALL rugby 😉

    Clearly you've never been to a game in Christchurch - my poor ears would have been shocked by the language coming from the Crusaders fans if I wasn't concentrating so much on avoiding all the shit they were throwing at me.

    The only good thing about SBW is he still draws defenders and can get the ball offloaded in the tackle.

    After viewing the replay was a pretty flat performance, hoping we have left something in the bag for the Poms and Irish

    I reckon A Smith did have a sneaky look over his shoulder and made a subtle change to his running line in the Smith try but then I am not the TMO. The TMO obviously needed to visit Specsavers though when DHP try was reviewed it was obviously out first then lost forward, everyone else could see that clearly. And he didn't rewind the tape far enough in the handbag incident.

    They are supposed to be naming a replacement lock for Romano today. Any thoughts on who you would pick? I might take a punt on young Paripari Parkinson or even Teleni Seu.

    Factual story.

    Ok, not 100% factual, it was an NPC game not Super rugby.

    If BBBR stays for the Japan game do they even need another lock? Start him and Tuipulotu and you still have Hemopo and Fifita as backups.

    Have the Maori left for Chicago yet?

    Whetton (injured), Strange, Parkinson, Blackwell, Tucker, Cowley-Tuioti, Goodhue, and Robinson.

    Tucker was on crutches after the final. One of the Ta$man locks I suppose.

    Goodhue was sent to Japan rather than to London as originally reported. That must mean he will be available to play Japan.

    This thread is lacking discussion on how many more points than the Wallabies Akira would have scored if only he was selected by that coaching team who clearly can't afford Sky.

    Honestly living in Australia you really get fed up with the ex-private school boys (who are all Liberal Party voters) who make excuses for their shithouse team blaming the ABs’ dominance on some clandestine conspiracy by referees. Kearns is the worst of them.

    Not really true as a lot of them are swing voters because of their wives. The wife who drive around in the Range Rover but are climate change warriors who vote Greens or Malcolm Turnbull....

    Anyone complaining about Kearns or any other of these Aussie commentators need an uppercut. There is a mute button.

    You can mute commentary only?
    Or are suggesting people watch the game in silence, no whistle or crowd noise, as penance for commenting about a game in a game thread?

    Yep. Although I stand ready to put loud rap music on every time Ardie runs with the ball.

    All good, I was just kidding around (although that story is true and I was on crutches with a broken leg at the time) - I've spent a few games at the Old Lancaster Park/Jade Stadium etc supporting the ABs and not suffering any abuse.
