The Rugby Championship - Round 2

[Enzedder]

Great pass from DMac; great line from Barrett for an easy try.

35 -3

[Kiwias]

Our URC ref is excellent. All Blacks forwards dominate

The ref is bloody good

Fabulous pass indeed

Some credit to the ABs for the intense pressure they are exerting

Yes, but how you respond to that pressure is on you. You can either hunker down, simplify things, focus on the basics and weather it as well as possible, or you can panic and make things worse.

They are definitely not making this easy for themselves

It's the difference between going in at half time within a couple of scores and being 32 points behind. World's biggest momentum team. Unstoppable with the wind in their sails and everything going right to feed their emotions. Absolute dogshit when they have early failures and their heads drop and they lose faith.

[Gumboot]

Williams is having some game.

[Sandstorm]

Well I’m glad I didn’t get up early for this one-way traffic farce.

They have been to arrogant. Going for a line out while they have an easy 3 pointer when the score was 10-3. Their scrum and line gets dominate. Nothing to do with the essay you just wrote

[Gumboot]

We need to keep the foot on the throat. Looking for another clinical 40 minutes.

[JM2K6]

Excellent finish by Jordan.

[clydecloggie]

Piardi excellent - telling the TMO there's no need to check where the knock on was becasue he knew it was within the field of play. Jonker sounding a bit sheepish confirming that.

[Enzedder]

I agree re the need for snipers with darts for all the whoopers and hollerers.

Jonker is a doos.

[JM2K6]

Ioane has been quite poor today.

[Enzedder]

We have reverted to Razorball after a first half of Fozzieball

Time for Proctor to start

[Kiwias]

Got the halves mixed up, old fella

[Enzedder]

Nah, Fozzie was helter shelter but this half we are standing still

[Enzedder]

This will be upgraded to a red

[JM2K6]

Ah that reverse angle does show some head contact, but the force is all taken away by the huge collision on the shoulder first. Bad technique, could've been very dangerous.

Razor is controlled attack, never helter skelter

Tackling while standing upright is stupid these days

[JM2K6]

I don't think so, and I'd be confident of getting that overturned on appeal tbh

[PCPhil]

According to NZ commentator he never even touched him.

[ASMO]

Clear yellow, dont think its red though... idiot Kiwi commentator needs to learn the fucking rules.

Yes. There's a certain body shape of the players most likely to really damage someone doing it, and they're also the ones most likely to do it in the first place. Squat front rowers and inside centres!

Something something drop body weights as well as tackle heights something something

[Kiwias]

Not knowing the rules is included in the job description, didn't you know?

[JM2K6]

I don't blame him. It wasn't until the rear view that I also thought there was no head contact, because there was no sign of the head being knocked back when they came together and there was a huge deceleration due to the tackle.

As it is, it's a glancing blow at worst and all the force is from the huge force going through the shoulder.

Stays a yellow.

[Guy Smiley]

This will be upgraded to a red

You ahh...

you know a bit about the game, then?

[Enzedder]

This is another game of 2 halves. 2nd is an abomination

[Enzedder]

This will be upgraded to a red

Fuck off, know all with 30/30 hindsight. Others discuss the post content, you attack the poster immediately. It has been your MO from day 1

[JM2K6]

Has NZ made a more impactful selection decision in recent years than deciding Jordie is a 12 and sticking with it? He was in danger of becoming a bits and pieces player attracting a lot of criticism, but he's a huge player at 12.

[Gumboot]

That'll do.

Razor wins.

Again.

Yeah, he's become a really good player. I'm not sure who's going to be his long term partner in the midfield, though.

[Gumboot]

Blackadder's best test has bought him more starts, but I still worry about how our loosies will cope with the Boks.

[Jethro]

Quick change here, now in traditional Wallaby colours, what do you wanna be a walla walla bee

Have a real bad feeling about Perth, but maybe a surprise is waiting to be sprung

I picked the Wallabies by 6 last week and that didn't pan out, so...

Wallabies by 6.

[Sards]

Proper rugby from ABs. The world just took notice and Rassie will be sweating on the two matches against them. The RC is now wide open

What's your prediction for the Perth test?

[Blake]

The rain worries me.

The Aussies are wounded and want to correct last week’s performance while our team is inexperienced and lacking the grunt that was the foundation of our gameplay last week.
