The Rugby Championship - W3 - 29 July : Aus v NZ / SA v Arg

[Sandstorm]

Alla-Alatoa probably out of RWC.

[Tichtheid]

Alla-Alatoa probably out of RWC.

Hope not, but it doesn't look good

[Guy Smiley]

That’s a shame for Alaaalatoa…

I got into a few shitfight son PR suggesting his replacement Taniela Tupou isn’t as good as they think. Great in open field play with speed and power but he’s a front rower and I dunno whether he’s really all that good at the coal face.

Guess we’re about to see.

[Tichtheid]

FM Telea is strong

[Sandstorm]

Taalea over Gordon like a speed bump. Young lad having a tough day-booo.

[ScarfaceClaw]

Alla-Alatoa probably out of RWC.

There were so many players coming up to shake his hand I thought they were going to set a queue and a book of condolence the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Queen died.

I agree, I don't really rate him as a scrummager

Harsh but fair

[Sandstorm]

Super conversion from Richie.

19-7 HT

[Tichtheid]

Good try, very well worked, good patience

He is the Australian Sinkler

[Sandstorm]

Good try, very well worked, good patience

20 phases. To be fair to Aus, they usually go stand under the posts after just 10 phases….so they are stepping up today.

Valentini has been immense for them.

[Guy Smiley]

Jesus, Herbert hasn't gone hungry in retirement

[Gumboot]

Hope Alaalatoa makes a quick recovery.

Loving Lomax's subtle little touches on attack.

[Kiwias]

A rare sight — the whole team seated as if in a classroom while the teacher lectures them. Well done, Eddie

[convoluted]

No surprise that Australia are giving the ABs a touch-up though expected a scintillating game.
But all this kick-slog could be ideal World Cup prep.

He is the Australian Sinkler

But with a better nickname and worse injury record.

[Sandstorm]

Tupo also looking injured.

He’s just collapsed under his own hype

[Sandstorm]

Scott Barratt dropped that maul illegally.

Yeah, he's fucked.

Admittedly I don't watch Aus religiously, but I feel like he gets broken in pretty much every game.

[Tichtheid]

If his ribs are fucked that scrum is going to hurt like giving birth to a hippo

[Sandstorm]

Get the ball out of the scrum, White!! Idiot.

[Sandstorm]

Stupid keeping Tupou on for another 5 mins.

[Tichtheid]

That's a red

[sockwithaticket]

That's a red. He fully led with the should, no attempt to wrap, so it's always illegal and thus no mitigation can be applied.

[ASMO]

AB's have been really sloppy

[Sandstorm]

AB's have been really sloppy

Always are between 40-60 mins.

[Sandstorm]

26-7
61 mins

[Kiwias]

Tackle not raised to a red card.

[Sandstorm]

Bonus point try

[Sandstorm]

Tackle not raised to a red card.

His ribs were so sore, he was basically trying to get out of the shoulder barge.

[sockwithaticket]

Game was probably already beyond the Wobs, but that settles it.

Tackle not raised to a red card.

That's mental.

They're still not taking head contact seriously, it's all talk.

[Kiwias]

Fuck me that was impressive.

[Sandstorm]

Floodgates……

[ASMO]

That was pretty to watch

[sockwithaticket]

Pop the corks.

[Tichtheid]

When Scott Barrett/any lock is splitting you in two you're in trouble.
