[2015 TRC] Australia v New Zealand in Sydney (08/08/2015)

[nightmarehitter]

Really Huge game, Australia have one hell of a line up and in world cup year they look decent. AB's should still be too strong but should be a real barn burner this one

 

[TobesHodges]

Yea I think the thing that really strikes me about the wallabies line up is that strong bench, there going to really try and match the AB in that final 20 mins, where so many teams fail to compete with them.. Good luck to both teams!

 

[Tony Manx]

Aussies need something to cheer them up but not sure that reintegration of Gitau and Mitchell will be enough!

They have to get the ball and will have to rely on the AB's front five having a bad day and Pocock and Hooper knit well!!

AB's ...........just but Aussies to show they will not be easy come group stages of RWC!

 

[TobesHodges]

Scudder looks good, but pocock... Wow..

 

[The Jones Boy]

Cheatin' Kepu caught twice in quick succession.
Hello card.

 

[TobesHodges]

Yeah could have been a penalty try..

 

[Tony Manx]

Excellent decision by Barnes. How often to refs give a warning so early in the match!!

Aussies looking good to me but good enough?

I'm not sure. ABs by 5 IMO

 

[RoosTah]

I've seen enough. ABs by 20 at least if we keep playing like this... we just look totally over-awed here.

 

[austingtir]

Im over Woodcock guys. Crockett would be owning that wallaby scrum.

 

[Tony Manx]

Are the AB's mistakes down to poor play or excellent Aussie pressure? I think the latter and certainly Aussie scrum is on top at tight!

Enjoying this!!

 

[TobesHodges]

Read is playing like a man possessed..

 

[General Tah]

Lots of basic errors

 

[General Tah]

But for once our scrum is standing up

 

[Jaguares]

Good Aussie scrum so far

 

[RoosTah]

Do you reckon we've looked good? Lots of basic errors, not contesting any AB line outs and barely bending the advantage line. I reckon we're just holding them out, but that's about it.

 

[Jaguares]

A dumb penalty by Owen Franks

 

[austingtir]

Franks what a friggin muppet drop the ball then give away a penalty. Whats with our props today their ****.

 

[Tony Manx]

Just lost the Test my friend!
@sanzar - Both sides making mistakes but you are being harsh on your mates!!

 

[TobesHodges]

Where's Berrick Barnes when you need him..
