Australia V New Zealand

TarJak · 07-26-08, 03:26 PM

The mighty Wallabies ran in 4 tries last night to defeat the NZ All Blacks. Although the final score 34-19 was a bit of a blow out, it was quite a tight match with both teams holding the lead at different stages.

I was impressed with the mongrel shown by the Wallabies forwards. They really made if hard for the AB's to gain a foot hold, but Daniel Carter for the AB's was a stand out with his incsisive running and kicking game.

The signs are good for an Australian Tri-Nations Cup win, but the proof will be in their ability to replicate their form so far away from home.

The Kiwis of course will claim that the Australian coach Robbie Deans is one of their's, but Aussie Robbie as we like to call him now is as true blue and dinky di as they come.

TBH I was surprised when Deans didn't get the gig with the All Blacks after their porr showing in the last World Cup under Graham Henry.

I said to myself this morning...."TJ is certainly going to savour that result"

Has the hat been passed around in New Zealand to pay for someone to wack the coach???:hmm:

I must admit, I did take pleasure in seeing the Kiwi's thumped!

You should have saved that picture you posted over at The Lair of you and your missus (the one with the tower of glasses) for just such an occasion

Right...I thought the guy looked a little slimmer :p

All Blacks - 39
Aussies - 10

Robbie Deans when coaching the Crusaders could easily make a comeback at half-time he always would have a plan for when his team was loosing that would make a turnaround. Not this time. He needs to be told hes coaching Aussies not kiwis. :p

Jimbuna · 08-02-08, 03:27 PM

Everything is still left to play for it would appear

Looks like the All Blacks learnt the rugby lesson they got last week all too well!

Did'nt expect the Wallabies to do well at Eden Park - 153 Aus Vs NZ matches there 103 NZ ,45 Aus and 5 draws

Next one will be the charm

Nah we haven't won there since '86. Not likely to either the way we were outplayed.
