Bledisloe 1

Foster has actually progressed.
Used to be crappy AB game performances two or three times then one false dawn game.
Now he has false dawn and then crappy AB game performances alternate in the same game! -

I'm sorry but why are they celebrating??? They had ample opportunity to put that game away with all the YCs, fucked endless opportunities to score, showed complete lack of aptitude in defense and got a unicorn at the end to win. I feel dirty and the ABs again, are complete shit.
FFS bro, they just won a close game, they're fucking human, allow them to celebrate.
They every opportunity to win that convincingly and needed a unicorn at the end. But I guess this is the new normal. Foster's Fuckups.

Foster should have been sacked.
Team plays like a bunch of teenagers. clueless. headless.
Caleb Clarke can ride the pine. Sotutu given a chance...didnt take it.
Papalii was disappointing.
Jordie is new 12.
Jordan to FB
Reece to 14Put Jonny Sexton in instead of Beaudy or Mo'unga and they would win the World Cup.
Darcy Swain is a fucking dog.
Let's transfer one of your worst defenders to Fullback.... exccellent
He will be cutting lines like Keith Richards from FB. You score 5. We will score 6.
Except they score 5 and then add 2 .... he needs some motivation time on the bench

Leicster to centre for last game. Need to build some depth.
Jordie 12.
rieko, jordan reece back 3I agree with that, but I'm afraid they'll go for Ennor at 13.

Seriously where is the enjoyment in this? Another win to the All Blacks off the back of a retarded call to make the Bled, once again, a dead rubber.
Just retarded.
You could argue Swain was a clear red and Foley's pass looked forward but I agree that last call was pretty harsh considering how often time wasting goes on and is allowed.

At least the Bledisloe Cup is safe.
Like winning a race reversing over the finish line missing wheels and the engine on fire.
Umm. Great.
Still won. Sometimes doesn't matter how

Just retarded.
Now, now - remember that they were agonising over this all week and calling out the selections etc.
And next week we get to fly over there and get thrashed!

Yes he did some good things but this doesn't look the same Will Jordan.
Well he would have had a double if Rieko hadn't fucked a pass at Beaudy in the first half.
Ben Smith scored a heap of tries on the end of simple draw and pass.
Jordan has been getting served up slop on the right wing for weeks.
No one scores tries like he does when he breaks the line.
Dropping him would be a dereliction of duty to the jersey, to Will, to the fans and to Rugby as a sport.
And to the art of non tackling

But if ref warned them and he said he did then what do you expect? Foley had major brainfade...

The ABs bar right now

The issues are lack of composure, fading concentration and poor structure on defence. Mentally, they are still not there. We continue to see lousy choices on attack, poor positioning on defence and lapses of discipline at key moments. Again, we see their capacity to momentarily look comfortable and in control and then drop their focus like a ADHD teen skipping his ritalin. And all this against a Wallaby team thrown together at the last minute. Something is wrong.

Oh for sure, but this is a poor team.
Lucky the Wallabies had so many injuries really.

Let's hope that it is being clamped down on. If ABs take a learning from this game, it is that you can't time waste at the end of a game anymore. If they are on the wrong side of a similar call in future, more fool them!

Give it away.
Go watch a nil all soccer game.
Fuck we won. Celebrate. We can be better.
But have a beer. Smile and enjoy the Bled for 11 years ...

Knowing us, even if we'd had every player fit and available we'd have lost by 20

Nah I’m sorry but that’s fucked. First and only time I’ve ever seen that call, and it’s in the 79th minute of a Bledisloe. Just absolute horse shit.
Take the win NZ. But it’s hardly a famous victory.
What was the ref supposed to do? Just wait for the hooter for the next minute?
Player has to take responsibility.
