[2013 Bledisloe Cup] New Zealand v Australia in Dunedin (19/10/2013)

Quality try from the ABs; that was worth getting up at 7am for.

Wallabies have been excellent so far; but ABs have been clinical so far.

Well said the wallabies have been good but the AB's have been clinical.The All Black wave is unstoppable !
 
We need to look at a new front row. With Franks out these other suckers are either past it or just not good enough. Woodcock is done imo. We are actually getting dominated so far in the scrum imo which is downright ridiculous.

Going to be very intresting to see how it goes against the decent french pack and england.

The All Blacks have got to give other teams are weakness to target;) ; otherwise it's damn right unfair:mad:.

Who do you suggest replace Woodcock? Joe Moody? Not seen him play yet but read he's a former wrestling champion. Crockett is a penalty magnet and is hardly a long term option at 1.
 
Nice pass form cooper there. Really good half of rugby. glad to see the booing of Cooper is not as bad as before.
 
Great reply from the Wobblies!
As above, game well worth getting up for early on a saturday!
 
Now this is high quality Rugby, from both sides. Good performance from Quade Cooper so far.
 
Australia are playing pretty well so anything could still happen but loving the finishing by the All Blacks.

Cooper is having a blinder. Can't remember when he last did well against the ABs.

Do you remember the scrum coaches for the AB's(mike Cronin ) comments about the introduction of the new scrum rules?He said the springboks would struggle and the AB's and Wallabies would dominate.It was been quiet the opposite to say the least.The puma's and Springboks dominated the scrums in the rugby championship.Perhaps he too needs to be questioned about the poor performance of the AB scrum.

Who do you suggest replace the mighty Woody? Crockett? He's a bit of a penalty magnet at the scrum. Joe Moody? Not seen much of him, but read he's a former wrestling champion, so useful at grappling.

You gotta wonder aye. cron has been there for a long time now... i suggest your right maybe they should be looking at a new scrum coach. To me our scrum is one major area that is not improving. It is without doubt a weakness in this side.
 
That was a certain ABs try, turned right on his head!
Very short advantage played (I know it was only knockon, but it didn't really look like ABs made any advantage at all)
 
That was never intentional!
The ball was passed into his arm as he pulled out of the tackle




Cruden misses the penalty - probably the right result considering neither of the two penalties preceding it should really have been awarded.



How was that not a Wallabies penalty?! Tackler was never even close to releasing!
