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

[austingtir]

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.

I thought Hooper was the man shouldnt he be able to beat geriatric Mccaw to dominate every ruck in sight?

I was getting more at the Mccaw bagging going on here. He is far from done as was said in the media etc etc.

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

NZ is one of the smallest nations in the world, yet they have the biggest [rugby] balls...can't blame 'em for being a bit proud o' that fact.

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

You've been talking the talk all week. Time to man up and admit your wannabies got smashed mate.

 

[Thingimubob]

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

Kinda harsh on Beale, the Wallabies have been well and truly smashed up front so he's barely had any ball whatsoever. He's actually had a couple of nice touches with ball in hand from what little he's had to work with. Couple of lovely inside balls and delayed passed, like the Folau try.

That is probably why I like him then......at every breakdown there are penalties that could be given and the point of the breakdown is to win the ball not look for penalties besides, every player does everything he can at the breakdown and often in total disregard of the laws hoping not to be pinged in an attempt to stop the other side winning them!!

The Aussies are showing some great spirit now and have the AB's taken their foot of the accelerator too soon and can they put it down again?

Bahahaha you bring me the evidence that ANYONE has talked us up and I'll be very impressed

 

[dasNdanger]

Nah...the ABs aren't smashing them...

Wiping up the floor with 'em, perhaps...but not smashing.

I attribute the greatness of this game to having Justin Marshall back in the commentator's box.

Wut? :huh: I haven't said anything about Hooper?

That is debatable!

 

[Jaguares]

Another Rugby Championship for the ABs, this is very predictable. I prefer the 6 Nations

Never said you did it was just a general spiel about some of the comments on here and in general.

 

[Tony Manx]

Agree.....Solomon Islands, Vanatu, Lichtenstein, Andorra, Maldives, Cyprus, Malta and Seychelles for some!!

Thats looking a bit far. Southafrica still looks pretty tough and things can change a fair bit in a few weeks.

Literally made no sense saying it to me then? :huh: why not say it to one of the one's actually saying stuff about Hooper and McCaw?!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Here's a question: Why are acting such a tw@t?

Why do you have to have a go at everyone when your side is winning?
It's people like you that give All Blacks supporters a bad name.

At least they will offer more in the forwards which is where you have to fight the AB's for at least parity if you want to beat them!

 

[dasNdanger]

They come in at 124th (population-wise) out of 242 nations...about the mid-point. Most of the countries with smaller populations are tiny tropical islands or places where no one wants to live, like Iceland.

Don't worry mate, he just loves to generalise and think he's the boss. Someone in football comes to mind ...

Agree.....Solomon Islands, Vanatu, Lichtenstein, Andorra, Maldives, Cyprus, Malta and Seychelles for some!!

The Vatican City, Monaco, San Marino, Grenada ... the list is endless haha

Sorry das but a nation is a nation. You logic is a little flawed in my eyes by what you said at the end sentence. No one wants to live. Some people are born in these places, pretty harsh to say that. But anyway, as your stat shows they are no where near being least populated, fact.

SA has less to Australia at this time... Sanzar must give the trophy to ABs and we must wait for the next 6 Nations

Because you were going on about the rucks. Which Mccaw and Hooper are involved in. Pretty simple really read what you wrote and it comes across as a bit of a load of crap TBH.

What is Barrett's 100m time? he just seems to pull yards on fast guys like nothing!
