    The Wobblies #11 just fucked that up good and proper. Perfect ball from O'Connor.

    Must be one of the earliest tries by a replacement, blood or otherwise, ever.

    Big boy, that Yarp #18.

    No point wasting cyber ink on our number 12 will be shocked to see him get another run. It was partly the knock on but mainly an aimless kick when keeping ball in hand was the better option.

    Lobbe just made me laugh that he wasn't sent to the bin. blatant professional foul. one of the most obvious I may have ever seen.

    Some insidious home town reffing throughout the game at the breakdown though. ABs doing whatever they wanted and Argies getting pinged for not rolling away when the ball was nowhere near them.

    Some incredibly budget players on the field for the argies. Their number 2 may be the worst number 2 in the world at international level. It was a blessiing for the game when he dislocated his shoulder. He lost the first six lineouts he threw in.

    Argies number 9 garbage - case in point two charged down kicks in succession.

    Argies entire back line garbage (wings excepted) - especially the midfield. The pair of them did aimless kicks all night.

    That seems an awfully soft reason to give a yellow card :s

    Your views on refereeing are a joke, mate. I'm just amazed the All Blacks ever win a test match away from home given how much they apparently benefit from home town refereeing.

    Bit harsh on the Yarp #7 to get 10 for that knock-down, though I'm not going to have much sympathy. On second thoughts it was definitely home town reffing [/hurricane]

    Yeah, but punting the ball downfield after the whistle was arguably a yellow anyway.

    So right call (arguably), even if the reason was wrong.

    Wrong + wrong = right : fact.

    Dear oh dear. Wobblies tried their best to give away a try through intercepts to the Yarps. Shocking pass from Quade Cooper in particular, I think.

    Can't wait to hear them speak to Cummins after this.
     
  9. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    Think it was Lealiifano
     
  10. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    The first one? The one who swapped the direction of play without looking? Whoever did that - well, it was ridiculous.
     
  11. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    Aah, was Genia
     
  12. The Boy Brumby ZJ Brumby

    Ugh. O'Connor's all round game seems to be having a day off. Such a pish kick from that pen.

    Just realised that there are no Anglophone surnames in the Saffer XV. There always used to be a Matfield or a Montgomery to break up the Afrikaner/native black monotony.

    I put a decent bet on South Africa here. I thought the odds were absolutely ridiculous here in Australia. the wallabies were 1.50 or something.
     
  14. The Boy Brumby ZJ Brumby

    Wobblies have a 7-0 winning record versus Jannie Yarp at Suncorp, apparently.

    Different teams, different times tho.
     
  15. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    We're such a scrappy team. It would be nice if just once we could put together a half of Rugby where we didn't screw up every possession after 5/6 phases.

    Been a pretty average test, tbf.

    Hate to see rugby players trying to milk decisions like common soccer players too. Yes, he was blocked, but the crim #13 went down with a double tuck and pike.
     
  18. The Boy Brumby ZJ Brumby

    Ah, fuck's sake. Bollocks for hands, Leliafano (sp?).

    Israel had done so well; half break and decent offload.
     
  19. KickATinAlong IA Ryabovol

    Should just give the ball to Folau, only bloke who ever seems likely to make anything happen.
     
  20. The Boy Brumby ZJ Brumby

    McKenzie already looking an ambitious appointment, IMHO.

    & by "ambitious" I mean shit there, obviously.

    Wobblies have no structure to their game.
