[2023 TRC] New Zealand vs Australia

[TRF_Olyy]

What a rookie error

 

[Cruz_del_Sur]

That's a try.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Feel like Barnsey changed his mind on that yellow because NZ ****** it up so bad. Don't think he was giving it before.

 

[TopTen2003]

MCG is some arena isn't it BTW. Suppose debatable as a rugby one but heck of a stage.

Anyone lucky enough to have been??

If Aussies can come through the next 5 of the sin bin they will have done well IMO.

If you're NZ coach what are you saying at HT?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Shocking,

Should only be allowed a mullet if you're actually a decent player - shave him at half time

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If you're NZ coach what are you saying at HT?

Nothing? NZ don't have to do anything positive to win this game, stick around and the Aussie's are beating themselves.

 

[TopTen2003]

Big blow there with the Aussie captain stretchered off. Always the worry for any player in these games in the lead up to a RWC

 

[TRF_Olyy]

What a break by Telea

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Love W.Jordan, one of my favourite wingers in the game

This looks like an easy one lads so avoid silly injuries and don't **** it up.

yeh went for cricket between Aus and NZ on Boxing Day years ago.

What does EJ say to the Wobblies? Show them his broken headsets?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like we'll be down to uncontested scrums in about 10mins, he does not look comfortable
I reckon one scrum and he'll be off

 

[Bada-Bing!]

That would be a blow losing both 7As and Tupou.

Great turnover by Ardie though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

He staying on now?
What's going on?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Serious play welfare issues here, he is f**ked

 

[TopTen2003]

I'm not sure about that yellow card? You've got a ball carrier dipping and a tackler reaching a little bit- it's not like an elbow or a head on head, just looks one of those unavoidable ones?

Didn't try to dip (probably because he was injured) which is a big thing these days - he was never in a position to make a legal hit

I imagine it'll stay as yellow with the low body position of the ball carrier being mitigation

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Big fan of Caleb Clarke as well - with him/Jordan/Tales the ABs have a crazy talented crop to pick from
Not just "athletes" but really skilful players too

 

[Bada-Bing!]

This could get ugly.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

The stutter that put Koroibete on the floor was excellent
