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

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.

and 7 guys from South africa that have a realistic chance of a first team pick
 
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

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.
 
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.
 
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.
