Back to back T20s, this LMS stuff is f**king non stop. I'm wrecked.

 

[Misanthrope]

How 'bout those Kiwis? Given how many unadulterated assholes are in the Kangaroos squad, I'm stoked with that result.

Melbourne Derby in the A-League next week too. Not a bad day's results.

The Sheep Missus all-over NZ are going to be happy tonight.

 

[Drew-Sta]

Thought they played really well, but hit the proper Aussie defence in the second half.

Still deserved winners and far classier.

 

[Eelementary]

You obviously have no soul...

I tried to enjoy it, but I just couldn't. I'm not sure why.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Not enough whisky.

 

[Misanthrope]

Australia needs to rely less on old Queenslanders.

Kiwis winning 3 in a row is brilliant for international league IMO. Now people may actually start to see games against New Zealand as a contest and players that wear the Australian jersey may actually start to rate it as highly as an origin jersey.

The international game has always been a bit of a joke whilst Australia would just towel up all comers.

If the Poms can lift their game, international league will really finally kick off.

 

[Bulldog Force]

A good point was made by Gus... kiwis will have most of their current squad come the next World Cup... the Aussies will not!

how the f**k did Maloney get MOM in CvC ?

Blake Austin was by far the best player on the ground.

Fingers crossed this loss will finally spell the end for Sheenius.

Some of the selection decisions made for this test were mind boggling and it looked like the Australian side had never ever trained together. Completely out of character for an Australian team. So many passes to no one and ball hitting the ground. Terrible.

A few players who are past it and were picked because of form from years gone by and playing Inglis at full back was a terrible decision. Anyone who has watched him play recently could tell you that he is basically running around on one leg.

 

[Red Bear]

Bird, Myles, Lewis, Tamou are all pretty lucky to be selected. Even Thaiday. Forward pack needs a real renewal. Not so worried about the backline, there were some key guys missing there (not so much slater or hodges, who wont play again, but both morris brothers). Plus there is talent there with DCE, Chambers and johnston in their first games etc.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Lewis was a ridiculous selection. How many games has he had this year? Two or three? That's on the back of not many games last year as well.

But yeah, you are right. Some of those Forwards looked like the Test Arena was beyond them now. The Australian pack needs a real injection of youth.

10 4 - I got no idea how they awarded it to him.

 

[Bazal]

Tamou lucky? Dude is averaging 130m a game....

 

[Twizzle]

Why was Lewis's try not awarded, no one at the pub could see anything wrong with it ?

I wouldn't have picked Thaiday but he proved me wrong, at least he showed he wanted to be there.

 

[Bazal]

Forward pass. And it was.

so.. hopping, basically....

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

so.. hopping, basically....

Not quite.

The lame leg still touches the ground but he gets no power out of it.

So he's pretty much getting around like Quasimodo but without the hump.
