The greatest winger whom is 22 years, 6 months, and 4 days old? I think even that's a stretch. How would scoring two tries cement his position as anything?

Sounds like its been raining a lot, so we may not see a very expansive game. The All Blacks always seem to play better in the rain than the Wallabies, so it is probably good news from an AB's perspective!

 

[ACT1NUP]

My thoughts exactly about the rain. Suits ABs more but Aus are out to get physical so I don't think they'll mind too much about the weather. In saying that I just don't see Aus out muscling a well rested AB pack for 80 mins. Really want to see our forwards make a big statement before the world cup and smash em bro, big time.

Let's get this party started; can't wait for this match

Remember the stats are a bit skewed in that Aus and NZ have only played each other once this year but each has played SA twice where both had 1 game against our B/C team. The other; full strength Aus had the benefit of John Smit at tighthead for much of the game while NZ's 'B' team/'B' frontrow was up against our top scrum configuration so far this year.

That's a cutting remark!!!!

Always interesting to see which players sing their anthem and which do not.

Bit of a stare down between the two teams after the Haka

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Haka was intense!

 

[Gavin]

Alexander charged down Carter and it nearly cost New Zealand a try. Good intensity by Australia

 

[DanCarterite]

3-0 Wallabies

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Terrible lid on Ioane

 

[Gavin]

What a kick by Beale and that offload by Cooper... Sexy

 

[Gavin]

Big hit by Alexander on Jane, bigger hit by Samo on Thomson

 

[JW.]

Poor take by Guilford. Cooper seems to be confident.

 

[Gavin]

Australia need to sort out their line-out; two throws, two misses

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Very lucky it didn't go to hand, because that quicklineout and then kick by Weepu was poor - just gave Aus the lineout in almost the same position as the ABs one
