The Rugby Championship

[Guy Smiley]

Half an hour till kick-off...

I'm working in the morning... just can't sit up for this, sleep is the priority dammit. Good luck.

[Gumboot]

Last time the All Blacks played a midweek test in Aus' was in 1994 - a loss featuring Gregan's try-saving tackle on Goldie.

Just saying.

[Chilli]

Half an hour till kick-off...

Decided to watch this at home for fear of getting daydrunk on a Thursday.

Pffffffffffffffffffffffffft!
Harden the fvck up.

[Chilli]

Will this be broadcast on a radio station?
For those of us drinking at work?

[Gumboot]

Go, All Blacks!

Wallabies want to be brutal.

[OomStruisbaai]

Aus commentators so irritating. Australians Zulus

I have. Just put my Bialetti on the stove with an extra scoop of coffee in.

Working stream.

He wants score updating. No way RSA will do radio commentary. He got our stream.me link .

[OomStruisbaai]

Who do we support?

[FalseBayFC]

Who do we support?

Can't decide. I'm loving the Ian Foster drama. If ABs win he stays longer. If they lose it'll cause more outcry. Either way there will be entertainment. Wobs are the underdogs I think so fukkit I'll go with Wobs.

[Jock42]

That would have been gleaming.

[convoluted]

Another stunning Reiko save?

[FalseBayFC]

Game on! I was a bit worried after the first 5 minutes but Wobs have come back nicely.

[OomStruisbaai]

Wallabies look better today

[convoluted]

30 min, 10-10.
Certainly not sizzling, but kind of fascinating.

[convoluted]

... and an epic minute of defence by ABs.

[Big D]

That's a cheap shot by the Aussie 19.

[sockwithaticket]

Oof, legs are not supposed to bend that way.

Good on the ref for doing something about it because that looked like a fairly deliberate targetting of the leg.

[Thor Sedan]

Could have been red.....seemed pretty targeted.

[sockwithaticket]

All Blacks managing to flub a 2 man advantage in the 22 twice

I'm not completely up on the law or any directives on that sort of act, but I'd understand if it was a red. Potential career stopper for the player on the receiving end.

I think for blatant targeting like that then it probably should be a red. Unnecessary cheap shot.

[Gumboot]

Another stunning Reiko save?

Yep.

[Thor Sedan]

Think that last 5 minutes sums this AB's side up perfectly.

3 chances to score - 3 basic handling errors.

Still don't understand how the catch and pass basics are so poor in this side.

[Gumboot]

Could be a season defining half for the ABs.

Agree. That was a grub act.

[OomStruisbaai]

All Blacks to get 50 from here. Wallabies no discipline

Deliberate attempt to injure another player. Not quite up at Calum Clarke level, but not far off it. Should be cited and banned for a significant time.

[Ymx]

Clarke needs to learn to pass

[Gumboot]

Clarke needs to learn to pass

His clueless defence is a far bigger problem.

[SaintK]

Grandstand finish then?

[Big D]

That is a wild call.

[Thor Sedan]

Wait - did the ref just give a scrum to NZ for Aussie time wasting??

[Tichtheid]

That last ten minutes had just about everything in it, including controversy

[Big D]

I'd need to watch it again but in real time I think that was just awful refereeing. Awful. Might have saved Fosters job too.

[Gumboot]

That'll do.

That's the strategy. Keep Foster in post = France win the World Cup

Huge call by the ref!!!!
