Bledisloe I: All Blacks vs Wallabies: MATCH THREAD: Oct 11

[Monkey Magic]

Any chances of a penalty fest at ruck time with kiwi ref pinging them for stuff you weren't allowed to do in super Aotearoa. Especially the arriving players on attack coming in the side

The ruck penalties settled down in Super Rugby Aotearoa after an overly officious few weeks.

Will be interesting to see of wallabies get pinged or if they blatantly get away with it how the ABs react.

But you're right it did seem to turn into only the most blatant examples getting pinged by the end of the comp

[Ted.]

Is there a separate thread for Wallaby supporters? Anyone have a link?

Allegedly can be watched here tomorrow

Yep, I'd also like to know where all the Aussie posters are?

Unfortunately the refs did their annual start out with good intent then bottled it.

If players want to come in the side, seal off or take out players beyond the ball, then they deserved to get pinged.

The Aussie thread is on Planet Rugby....

Any players bashing down Fosters door saying they won't play at Easter either?

There are quite a few Australian based posters on this thread, however many of the more established Wallaby supporters did not migrate over to this forum. To be fair, most of them fled from PR to Green & Gold years ago

Hey AC, are you going to change the kick-off time on the front page to 4pm NZST?

Done!

Sorry to hear about Laulala.

Regarding Sam Cane, I’m sure he’ll give everything he has and make 80 minutes of massive tackles.

I don’t doubt it. I just wonder if that’s the kind of 7 that’s best for the team.

[stemoc]

surely its 4pm NZDST? that is whats confusing a few ppl since NZ entered DST 2 weeks back

Yeah it's daylight savings time in NZ and Australia (excluding QLD). The correct times are in the OP.

[Enzedder]

NZ team needs a tweak as well mate.

I hope the players are a lot more into this game mentally than I am. So laid back it's not funny - that never happens on ABs gameday.

DMac has 23 tests and Lomax has one

A few reasons for this;

- The All Black domestic tests are usually well and truly finished by now. Typically our Rugby season would be nearly over, we'd have the NH nothing-tests coming up but most of us would be thinking about cricket, camping and the upcoming Christmas break.
- There has been so much uncertainty about international rugby this year that many of us just assumed that there wouldn't be any test match Rugby
- The season has dragged on and on! Super Rugby started early this year, in the last week of January. Sure we had a covid-19 break, but we're effectively 10 months in to season 2020.

Well it's the kind of 7 that was desperately missed in the first half of the RWC semi-final so unless the game plan has changed dramatically, I'd suggest it is.

A big difference between the two soup comps I found noticeable was that the Aussies were still allowed to crawl along the ground After the tackle. I hope that gets pinged.

[stemoc]

i expect Cane to get injured in this game, i'm taking bets

[Fat Old Git]

Off to the local pub to watch this if my wife ever manages to get ready. Only a 10 minute walk. So might get to see the second half......

Enjoy everyone.

Wish you’d done that yesterday. I trusted the op. And up 30 mins earlier than needed to.

[FujiKiwi]

I hope not. I wish him well. I just think the sooner we start the transition to Papalii or someone like him, the better.

Like I say, I think Cane will have a huge game defensively. He always does.

[Gumboot]

Really looking forward to this.

Go, All Blacks!

[Quade]

Wallabies!!!!!!!

[Trapper]

Good luck both teams, let’s hope it’s a good game. Come on All Blacks!

[stemoc]

Andrew mehrtens looks fat as fuck on Fox

[Ymx]

[Kiwias]

C'MON THE ALL BLACKS

[Auckman]

Ioane should have passed. Especially playing as a centre role there.

[Jb1981]

Anyone else have their heart in their mouth thinking “Jordie’s not going to get there?”

[Ymx]

Beautiful passing

[Kiwias]

Yep. ALB would have passed.

[stemoc]
