Rieko and Beauden in defense

Definitely not using his hands in the ruck.

Young Aussie Two Dads is a rubbish kicker, no distance at all.

Yes, so hell bent that he gave the TMO an on field decision of no try and waited to see what the footage showed

On field decision was try

BB killing AB attack at 10.

For Valentini under the posts? He clearly said to the TMO 'on field decision is no try as I haven't got a grounding'.

Touchy called it, Barnes took his advice.

Early signs are that Beauden Barrett could cost us a Bledisloe tonight.

ABs aren't helping themselves by not effectively clearing and securing their ruck ball. Some really sloppy presentation. Barnes is being more liberal when interpreting 'first man in' than I'm used to seeing from him, but that needs to be adjusted for on the field by the players.

Australia making a game of this, that body check needs to be looked at, looked very close shoulder to head.

My auntie wants to play flyhalf for Australia

Is there any chance that Beauden Barrett could fuck off back to fullback where he was selected to play.

Are you not a fan of the “shovel to a marked player”?

24 mins and not a single scrum...wow

Once he starts coming in like this he takes ages to have it beaten out of him.

Telea with the steal

I’m almost yearning for an aimless cross field kick.

Silly boy

First time I've ever heard the noticeable distance thing in relation to a quick tap. Swear I've seen plenty of occasions where it's literally just contact between boot and ball with basically no distance travelled.

Oh dear

Visible movement of ball. Ffs

Agree with that but the call is made

Dunno which 9 play the kakkest

Smith trying to milk a penalty or more, disgraceful

Jordie will step up.

Mo’unga is playing in the line now and the attack looks better straight away.

Valetini reminds me a lot of Ardie Savea

Just checking. Are you allowed to interfere with the ball with your legs, when you’re lying in the ruck?

No. But he was looking the other way with DeGroot on his back.

Must have overdone the hairspray given the amount of pain it looked like it caused.

Sounded as if the TMO made that rule up on the spur.

Good game this

From World Rugby

Taking a penalty or free-kick

A penalty or free-kick must be taken without delay.
Any player from the non-offending team may take it, other than for a free-kick awarded for a mark.
The kicker must use the ball that was in play unless the referee decides it is defective.
The kicker may punt, drop-kick or place-kick (other than for touch) the ball.
The kicker may kick the ball in any direction.
Other than the placer at a place-kick, the kicker’s team must remain behind the ball until it has been kicked.
The ball must be kicked a visible distance. If the kicker is holding it, it must clearly leave the hands. If it is on the ground, it must clearly leave the mark. Once the kick has been successfully taken the kicker may play the ball again.
Sanction: Scrum.

Oh dear

NZ starting to exert scrum dominance
