Test Rugby Rugby Championship 2020

[Aucklander]

Good effort by the Wallabies today. Probably unlucky not to win it.

16-16 the final score.

Ref was a joke

I'm sure yours will be much better next week.

 

[Aucklander]

I only watched the last 5 mins. why didn't the wallabies try a field goal when they were 5 metres out?

Yep. Had multiple opportunities to win it in the end but failed to set it up right. Were lucky not to lose at the death.

Nobody is confident enough to kick one Lolesio kicked one for the Brumbies this year would of been good to have had him on

Couldn’t be any worse

 

[Aucklander]

Couldn’t be any worse

Then we can have a whinge too.

 

[Aucklander]

Of course, if Ioane puts the ball down properly its game over.

 

[Seedsfan]

Then we can have a whinge too.

Still whinge about a forward pass in 07

 

[Aucklander]

Saw a Bledisloe match in 2012 at Suncorp where exact same situation. wallabies didn't bother having a shot. NZ got it and went all the way to their try line but Dan Carter missed the field goal to leave it a draw.

Yep.

There were lots to like about them all the same. Showed lots of fight and ability to break the line. Thought it was a typical AB 1st up performance too.

 

[Seedsfan]

That's terrible. All blacks defence is very hard to crack so close to the line.

Should of been about 4 penalties.

With the conditions it wasn’t going to make it easy to kick. Nobody on either side had the courage to take the shot

 

[Aucklander]

From the little I saw it was pissing down raining.

It did make it hard, but someone should've had a go.

 

[Seedsfan]

Of course, if Ioane puts the ball down properly its game over.

Or if they checked the forward pass in the lead up

 

[Seedsfan]

It did make it hard, but someone should've had a go.

Bloody oath on this when you got it down your end I thought the ABs would have the balls to attempt the drop goal and win the game. In the start of Super Rugby NZ I can remember a fair few drop goals

 

[Aucklander]

Whinge, whinge.

Well sure, but your team had the chance to end the game and froze. Which is probably fair enough given they were pretty inexperienced.

To be fair you had 5 or 6 phases that you could of had a shot I can’t believe both sides refused to take the game on

 

[Aucklander]

Poor work from the asst ref.

Both sides could've. First game jitters. Game 2 should be better. Clarke to start hopefully. Looked like he could score at any moment.

All I want is game 4 not to be a dead rubber for financial reasons both Aus and NZ need Australia to be consistently competitive again in the Bledisloe

 

[Shade]

First time i sat down and gave rugby union a go last week and was surprised as to how much i enjoyed it very keen for this game

Go Wallabies!

 

[sosos]

Where's Gordon Bray?

 

[Aucklander]

Hopefully not another whinge fest from Kearns.

 

[Aucklander]

Australia dominating without scoring.
