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

[RoosTah]

Scrums were always going to be a problem - but with one down just way too hadd

 

[Jaguares]

The Wallaby's nightmare has begun

 

[austingtir]

Will be VERY intresting to see how the wallaby scrum goes once its back to full complement. To me that is more than missing one man.

 

[Bluemoon]

Really really clinical from NZ, especially when the Aus boiler house is off. Good call there from the referee once again.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How did they miss the late shot on Jane and then the high tackle on Folau?!

 

[RoosTah]

Folau!!! If only he'd passed!

 

[Big Ewis]

there was a high tackle on Folau, should've been advantage. TO the other way and the Blacks score....

 

[austingtir]

Australia have had chances again second week in a row bombing chances. Beale should be at fullback with Folau on the wing for mine.

 

[Peat]

Wallabies defence has been impressive, but at the moment the ABs just look too strong.

Can't agree with that. Fringe defence has been awful and it's given far too many big breaks to the ABs.

 

[Amobokoboko]

What a try!

 

[RoosTah]

there was a high tackle on Folau, should've been advantage. TO the other way and the Blacks score....

Poite is a bit of a home town ref and the calls are definitely going all to NZ - all the same though, we should have scored there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Tackle was round the throat as well, at pace - thats a yellow card gone begging.

But no, no. The refs always hate the ABs.

 

[austingtir]

there was a high tackle on Folau, should've been advantage. TO the other way and the Blacks score....

It was a nothing. Australia is simply getting out enthused.

Even in the replay it looked worse than it is it rod up from the edge of the shoulder imo thats o.k at worst a penaly certainly no yellow.

tsk, darn stinking cheese eating surrender monkey...
that tackle was WAYYYY HIGH. Haven't such such an illegal tackle in a while...try never should've happened, clearly, no debate.

 

[Bluemoon]

Great counter try! Although, Folau took a massive high tackle.

 

[Jaguares]

Charles out, Hanson in

Goodbye Wallabies!

 

[TRF_Cymro]

There's the difference in class, if you don't take your opportunities the All Blacks will take advantage.

 

[Jaguares]

High tackle by Cory Jane!

 

[RoosTah]

There really is... So far this is like watching the Kangaroos dismantle the Kiwis in the league WC final.

 

[TheSaffycen]

Folau has pretty much been punched in the throat there ! Still great finish by the All Blacks
