The Haka just isn't intimidating any more. Not when you're getting bullied up front every week. Any other pearls of wisdom, Mr Wronginator? :lol: You absolutely knew we were in for a hard game after that haka! That was seriously fůcking intense stuff.

You don't blame him for last 4 years???? WTF man. I am not sure if you have been watching Wallabies games but his selections and tactics have been clueless. Time and time again he's proven to be a very poor test coach. Results speak for themselves. When we lost to England 4 times in the same year h...

I agree about Burke. I reckon had Lilo kicked those two relatively easy penalties early on things would've been much different. Easily possible. Same with the repeated infringements on the line she. the Wallabies were attacking. The ABs sacrificed 3 to prevent 7, and we couldn't even take the 3. BT...

You know what? I think Cheika has played the hand he's dealt about 75% success. I like his character. He's tough but ready to give his boys a chance. He's shit mate. I mean ...

What the Au selectors should learn from this: 1. White and Lilo is not the half combination to go forward with. They looked fine on a dry pitch behind a dominant (at breakdown) pack last week. This week, in the rain and heavy conditions, they failed to direct the side around the park early, when th...

Aw c'mon bro. He was awesome. In any case he was never "just average at best"

He's got some great highlights too...

Yeah I'd generally stick with the team but we need different options at 6 and on the wing. Also I think it's ridiculous an old, has been player (who was only a solid player at best) plyare like Ashley-Cooper is on teh bench. I'd rather kurudrani or Petaia or Banks or Maddocks.

Hard luck Aus, can't take much from these games anyway. Wallabies will be a threat at world cup. Probably not They will be a threat to Fiji making it out of the pool but that's about it. They might even give Wales some competition. But they're no world beaters. They won't be there at the business e...

Mog The Almighty

Something I wonder with these matches, regardless of what they say, all of the players will be 100% focused on the world cup and most importantly not getting injured. I wonder if once a team gets a decent lead if the losing side just shuts up shop mentally and go into self preservation. I dont thin...

:thumbup: I expected us to play better this week, but I didn't expect that. It's never gone well the next week for any side who dares to beat the All Blacks (or even push them close). Didn't they put 60 on Ireleand the week after the Irish came within 1 point of them? Or something? Maybe I'm on cra...

This is about the scoreline that I I expected to be frank but I'm dissapointed the way it came about. Really looked like we were the better side and the ABs pulled two tries out of nowhere against the run of play, suddenly the Wobs are on the back foot and it's basically game over from there.

NZ 6.5/10 (decent nothing more) Australia 1.5/10 (pathetic) Yeah. We are playing so badly no idea why I was expecting way more from Australia and a really good game. Got neither. :(( :lol: Why would anyone be expecting more? In the past half decade they've had one decent game against 14 players. Di...

What's Dan Coles shaking his head at? He must have an IQ of about 50.

This commentator needs to shut the fūck up too. He's been making excuses for blatant dangerous play for 5 straight minutes

This is shit. The Wallabies had been the better side until now. Two run away tries and shut the gate. Game over.

Do the ABs still have to be onside at Eden park?

I think we've seen the All Blacks come back in the face of adversity enough times to know that with all the players on the field, a Wallaby win was far from certain. The Wallabies thrashed the ABs. I think you should accept that this happened. They thrashed some of the All Blacks, at home. Make no ...

If there's one thing I like about PR, it's the diversity of posters with different gender, religion, social class and culture.

Have to disagree with OP. Oz have officially taken over the mantle as the top side in SH. I expect them to push on now and win the RWC. I'd be very shocked if a traditional sporting powerhouse like Australia didn't finish the job and would see any failure in doing so up there with their dismal hall...

To put it in perspective: if not for the red card, Australia only might have won, by a narrow margin , and that's with the homegrown advantage and also while somehow magically pulling their best form in years out of the arse.
