[2014 TRC] New Zealand v Australia in Auckland (23/08/2014)

[Big Ewis]

Missed the first half...............all going as forecast I see!

a bit of luck in those 23 points tbf.

 

[RoosTah]

Wow... Kick the ball out when you get a penalty boys. Fairly important

 

[Big Ewis]

Fekitoa.......PASS...PAASSSS the ball.

 

[austingtir]

The main problem with Fekitoa is he backs himself to beat multiple players and if he doesnt the pass is nearly always on. Once he gets that in his game he is going to DEVASTATE any defence in the world. The tacklers are so commited to him there are HUGE holes everywhere.

Some times I wish I could get more pleasure out of international League... I'd be happier lol

Bit of dodgy on the floor pilfering, McCaw I believe?

I put the tv on when I went to bed, tuning into the rugby channel (which plays music until the game comes on), turned down the volume so I could sleep...

Five hours later the excitement of this game woke me up...and now it has me out of bed, sitting at the computer at 4:50 am.

WHAT a game! Some great stuff right here...wish this same ABs team had shown up last week.

McCaw is such a gentleman

Im loving all the predominantly european comments on here. None of them can admit australia has been totally smashed FUBAR infact.

Australia being totally trashed and the NZ are back in all their splendour and pomp.....................!!

Why would the European posters favour Aus over Nz? Most have been saying how poor Aus has been and how clinical NZ have been.

Is it that everyone here is giving a balanced argument and opinion and you can't quite understand what that is?

 

[Jaguares]

I said it before the first game then I can say it now: Beale at 10 was the biggest mistake in Link's career

No-one is saying that the AB's aren't smashing them? :lol: or that the referee is helping them (as you CONSTANTLY bleated last week, and even a bit this week!). People are just calling it as it is.
Poite hasn't been paying a huge amount of attention to a lot of the breakdown shenanigans for either team, so there's plenty to be picked up there.

 

[RoosTah]

Woot! Folau in! Now we just need 5 more haha

 

[Big Ewis]

Austingir is a little paranoid lol. Apparently if all the Aussie media aren't just talking about how awesome the ABs are it's a conspiracy against them haha

 

[Patchey]

I think this performance totally indicated the end of New Zealand's era of dominance...
