Bledisoe I: Will it be another Austrailure? (probably)

[jared_7]

Maybe we mislead the Wallabies with some false tactics while they were listening in at the hotel?

[jared_7]

Naholo f*cked himself again.

Wonderful half of rugby from the All Blacks. Fierce defence, great linespeed, fantastic handling and running, lineout steals, a tighthead - the full book. Been a while since we've seen a Bledisloe this utterly one sided.

Yep. I think we can safely say that the Hurricanes were indeed testing a new defensive pattern for the All Blacks.

[scuzzaman]

Have we respected them enough, yet?

[zer0]

Bit of a scrappy start to the second half.

[zer0]

Offside line disappears at a charge down, doesn't it?

Hehe. Ref just loudly exclaims as much after that charge down.

[Spy]

Finally score again after all sorts of pressure. Fekitoa wearing gumboots on that run to the line.

[Spy]

Great finish Savea!

[Len]

Destroy the cheats.

[zer0]

When's Aride getting on? We've got the records for most points scored against Australia (61 points) and largest winning margin (45 points) in sight.

[Spy]

That's annoying.

[zer0]

So looks as though we'll miss out on reaching 50 thanks to a scrappy second half. On the flip side, at least they're not in double figures.

[zer0]

Really hope Barrett gets far more time at first-five next week. He's been largely absent in the second half with Cruden there.

Boy does this put some context into England and Wales' summer tours.

NZ on a different planet

Poms can now STFU

[scuzzaman]

I can't see these guys beating South Africa. They will probably beat Argentina in Oz. Wales and Ireland will challenge them. England will hammer them. Scotland are a banana skin; beating them means nothing, losing to them will be career ending.

[Spy]

Double up.

[Spy]

FT 8-42, which flatters the Wallabies if anything. Absolute hiding.

[canta_brian]

Are there any aussies left on this board?

[Len]

I'll be interested to hear what happens about this listening device they found too.

[Len]

Are there any aussies left on this board?

Na they've all got a nasty bug.

[canta_brian]

Nice
