Bledisloe Cup: Match 2 - New Zealand vs. Australia (17/08/2019)

[Kiwi boss]

I like how Aus are now the best team in the world..kind of forgetting that they got smashed against a South african B side three weeks prior to this game.

They definitely are not.

That said, a) it was at altitude and b) it wasnt our best team by any stretch either.

Also, your record loss was to this team so.i wouldnt rag on them too badly.

[Derpus]

Just like i said.

HAHAHa

Funny dude

 

[TheOvalBall]

It would be really good if the Eden Park record gets broken. A fortress can only hold so long

 

[Kiwi boss]

I see Jaco Peyper is the ref , he likes us and hates the aussies

NZ by 15

 

[Kiwi boss]

AS a kiwi the thing that erks me the most

NZ only mostly rate and only know their own players . NZ herald had a picture of Franco Mostert running with the ball with the caption Franco Mostert south african centre..............

Also ask any kiwi to pick a world 15


1.joe moody

Of all the current team

Retalic and barret would make my World 15 team

NZ are beatable and that's the biggest thing all the world has realized.
AB don't have and aura anymore Aus Ireland and the boks realized this

ABs are beatable every single game.
ABs have never had an aura. thats just an excuse worldRugby makes up so y'all can dispel it every couple of years. its all in your heads. ABs dont train to improve their aura.

 

[The Seeker]

I want the Wallabies to win again, but beating the All Blacks twice in a row (and in New Zealand this time) is a tall order.

 

[bushytop]

New Zealand by... revenge!

 

[GoTheNaki]

Hm... Already big difference in what's being officiated.

 

[GoTheNaki]

I really don't like how Aaron Smith plays the game... Constantly looking for a penalty, constantly got his arms up in the air, instead of working for quick ball.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

ABs have woken up - two very all black tries, capitalising on any small error

 

[TheOvalBall]

Aussies are rattled.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

NZ hooker is an absolute grub,
Just play the game, if you wanna act the hard man get in the boxing ring/octagon

 

[TheOvalBall]

Second NZ card in two games. Discipline is a problem.

 

[GoTheNaki]

You've actually gotta be stupid to try something like that these days....

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

If NZ don't get any cards you'd expect them to win the RWC handy, you wouldn't expect them not to get any cards though, they've been doing stupid things like that since at least the Ireland game in Chicago.

This one won't get punished because Aus have gone back to being as bad as ever though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Aussies are fully ******** the bed, night and day to last week
