[2018 Rugby Championship] Round 2: New Zealand v Australia (25/08/2018)

[All Black]

Geez the Aussies must be holding the ball lightly tonight. Retallick the man of steal, rips it, then goes wide and you guessed it...

Beauden comes back to score the one he missed out on.

40-12

 

[Bada-Bing!]

4 tries for BB. Take a bow son.

Right, now he's scored his 4 tries.

 

[All Black]

Right, now he's scored his 4 tries.

The first All Black to do so over the Wallabies

 

[unrated]

This Beauden Barret guy is good

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

This Beauden Barret guy is good

Meh, hard to tell against opposition such as this. /s

 

[Jonathan Gray]

This Beauden Barret guy is good

You cant judge a guy just based on one game alone but have to say i have never seen the Aussies this poor

 

[All Black]

Forward pass from Laumape I thought. Naholo in to make it a thrashing.

 

[All Black]

Oh they picked it up. Yeah forward pass

Barnes missing an awful lot. Jaco Peyper is a better ref IMO

 

[All Black]

Lukhan Tui is a beast I tell ya.

Ok game.

 

[Jonathan Gray]

This is very much been a one sided game hope Aussies hang there heads in shame quite frankly

Yeah not a good result for them but theyre not a bad team as we saw earlier this year with their good matches against Ireland. They're still a good side IMO.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Pretty much same Wallabies side Ireland just squeaked past 2-1 in June.

Beauden Barrett was last years international player of the year. Pretty much the award you get for being the best player on the planet!

 

[smartcooky]

.. and all those saying that Beauden Barrett is not in form can now officially shut the hell up.

Wallabies were damned lucky the ABs didn't chalk up 50.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

It was sarcasm!

 

[bushytop]

Maybe the best rugby side I've ever seen, possibly better than the previous vintages. Seem to score tries akin to 'THE try' at will... just phenomenal.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

It was sarcasm!

Yeah sure it was. You figured to denigrate this Wallabies side would have meant that Ireland's 2 wins weren't that that good.

 

[smartcooky]

Holy Cow, I've just been looking at the stats for this game

866 run metres!

Jordie Barrett 154
Beauden Barret 145
Ben Smith 121
Waisake Naholo 106

 

[TheSaffycen]

I don't like to put my next out too far on things but God damn it, I think Barrett is in the top 20 fly Half's in the world.

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

Ben Smith is so bloody underrated. He is nothing short of phenomenal.
BB is so good on offence that sometimes people overlook how good he is on defence too.
