AUS v NZ @ Mt Smart Stadium // Saturday 13 October - 5:45PM (AEDT) 7:45PM (NZDT)

A lift in discipline in second half Roos.

 

[Billythekid]

An australian video ref explaining a pretty dicey decision in favour of Australia just isn't a good look. The refs/video refs shouldn't be put in that position to start with.

It was sent up as a try as well so he had to be 100% sure that was the right decision. Silly thing is I’m pretty sure DWZ was probably offside so if he had actually made the right call I think the try still might have been disallowed and the video ref wouldn’t look so bad.

Up by 4 with 35% possession. This could get ugly second half if there’s even possesion

 

[baggygreen man]

Cherry-Evans is still a speed bump in defence. So with Hunt we have two of them.

 

[baggygreen man]

error Hunt. How did he make this side??????

 

[baggygreen man]

I've been waiting for this thread so I could whinge - my favourite pastime - about Kaufusi & McGuire getting starts over the Friz & Jake Turbo.

McGuire is Martin Lang in drag.

Give me Jake's footwork and ball playing ability any day. I'd even give Cam Murray or Boo Radley a start over McGuire at lock.

JDB should have got the lock position.

 

[baggygreen man]

Too many errors Roos.

And nope, all those tackles they made in the first half due to the lack of tackles is starting to pay for the Kangaroos.

Manu is a beast

 

[baggygreen man]

Inexperience has hurt us. We have no general.

 

[Coastbloke]

Good luck England...

Fair play, Kiwis far to good. Forwards have dominated and Johnson and Smith have been outstanding. A massive wake up call for some of these young Aussies

 

[Perth Red]

Is this the end of the kangaroo dominance? With the end of the golden age of the storm 4 and Thurston has Australia been brought back to the pack?

 

[Mr Angry]

Blow me over with a feather, Johnson plays a running 6, Australia pick Evans, NZ win.........

Manu 1, Mitchell 0

Can't wait for the next installment.

I think next week will show us a lot. Still a very young team, this might be a wake up call and they may bounce back. But there is such a massive difference in the halves quality. To go from Thurston/Cronk to DCE/Hunt, a massive difference

Have faith PerthRed. This is a very inexperienced team. These Kangaroos will need time to find their feet. We have to find a quality general tho.. Hunt is a lemon. Cherry- Evans over rated. Cooper Cronks unfortunately dont grow on trees.

Tonga will be KEEEEEEEEEEN
