Wonder who the Aussies will blame their losses on with Deans gone? Will they back to playing hard done by?

8 changes in the squad from Deans' side. They'll blame lack of chemistry and unfamiliarity with tactics.

:lol: Have to say there really hasn't been much build up to this match. Looking forward to see what Link can do, although it might take him a few games to get the team playing his style.

A real stop start match.

Fucking lealiafano

That was poor.

Games already over

Hooper should've been marking Mccaw not hiding behind O'connor.

What a try by Genia.

Lucky try but what a run

Quite a high scoring game, but we're still in it.

Quality try by Will Genia, but Australia are still screwed.

I wouldn't say that just yet. Only down by three and where actually making line-breaks against NZ.

All Blacks have the edge tonight. Beyond quality.

That was silly.

Australia have been absolutely terrible.

Yep gone downhill very fast.

They've had so many refs calls go their way as well. That makes it even worse.

Had an awesome time in a corporate box :cool:

All blacks just too good. Overran us. We need a better fullback, and I thought genia was very slow in making plays for us

One of the girls I work with - she got corporate box tickets through her Mon-Fri day job. She doesn't know anything about Rugby. :lol: Apparently she didn't realize until about 10 minutes into the game that it was Union. She thought she was at a Rugby League game. :lol:

Only got to watch the second half, but it was so frustrating. Apparently James O'Connor got absolutely pumped playing on the wing? \:d/

Goodbye Bledisloe.

It's times like this that I'd like to remind everyone I'm kiwi.

That try was the only thing he did all game. O'Connor did more than he did, and that's saying something.

It just shows how important Genia is, if that's what happens when he has an off night. To be fair, he would be in the best 5 players in the world and would be the only Wallaby to make the world XV

Australia would have been schooled whether he played at his best or otherwise.

Australia vs Argentina about to start, if we don't win this!

Argentina winning 3-0

A little late but the Wallabies thumped Argentina this morning.

Yep it was pleasing to see, however you can't help but feel if it was against NZ or SA it would've been the other way around.

Wallabies were made to look good by a very poor Argentine defence. Argentina were very exciting to watch going forward though, where the Wallabies were only marginally better defensively I thought.

Quade had an uninspiring game, but the backs looked so much better than last week trying to run at the line and keep the ball in hand.


I thought the Boks were also poor defensively and gifted the Championship to Enzud.

Argentina's defence just looked really lazy. It's going to be a very short World Cup in 2015 if they don't get their shit together.

Canada's rugby team got its highest ever attendance for a rugby game against the "Maori All Blacks", 22,000. USA also got its highest ever crowd this year against Ireland, and apparently their upcoming game is sold out.
