As they broke into the Wallabies’ red zone, the ball was passed to the right, where the All Blacks had a major overlap. Replacement hooker Corey Flynn touches down in the corner.

41 mins: Good kickoff from Carter, which allows No 8 Kieron Read to win the ball in the air. However, Read loses the ball forward and the Wallabies have the scrum. Lucky layoff early on for the hosts.
Half-time: Wallabies 14 All Blacks 32
40 mins: All Blacks have the lineout as the half-time hooter blows. However, Pocock makes another steal at the next breakdown. The Wallabies spread play wide and Mitchell puts in the kick ahead, but it’s too long and rolls out. Joubert blows to end the half.
35 mins: All Blacks try! And it’s the bonus-point five-pointer! From a 10m lineout, lock Brad Thorn drives up play. As the forwards gain metres, replacement scrumhalf Piri Weepu decides to go back to the blindside and the ball is passed wide to Jane, who touches down in the corner. Carter kicks over the difficult conversion. 32-14 to the All Blacks!
32 mins: All Blacks win the ball from the restart and the Wallabies are later penalised for a breakdown infringement. Carter converts. 25-14 to the Wallabies!
30 mins: The All Blacks are caught out as they attempt to run the ball from their 22m area. Inside centre Ma’a Nonu gets possession and slips, and is penalised for holding on at the tackle point. Giteau slots the penalty from right in front. 22-14 to the All Blacks!
28 mins: Mitchell is yellow-carded after a call from the assistant referee Cobus Wessels. The punishment is for no arms in the tackle, which was late too. Wallabies down to 14 men.
25 mins: All Blacks try! Clever tactics from the All Blacks. They target Ashley-Cooper with a chip and win a turnover from the breakdown. Skipper Richie McCaw picks up the ball and runs down the touchline and beats three defenders to score. Carter adds the extras. 22-11 to the All Blacks!

2 mins: Great break from pivot Matt Giteau from his own 22m area as he set out on a 40m run. It’s 3 on 2 and Giteau offloads to wing James O’Connor who has centre Rob Horne on his outside. O’Connor decides not to pass and goes down to recycle. Poor passing slows momentum. However, the Wallabies still break into the All Blacks’ red zone with a penalty advantage for offside. Nothing comes from it the opportunity and referee Craig Joubert awards Wallabies the first penalty. Giteau converts. 3-0 to the Wallabies!
1 min: Wallabies kickoff and it’s a deep one. Easy for the All Blacks to secure possession and they run a couple a phases before fullback Mils Muliaina puts a long toe-poke through.

@Black Panther(Black Panther)-1: Cannot see the Wallabies moering you guys. Superbru pick, AB by 11. Should’ve made it 20
31 Jul 2010, 10:47 am
ABs by 25
31 Jul 2010, 10:50 am
Let’s hope the ref plays a lesser part in this one………….
31 Jul 2010, 10:52 am
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-4: No let us hope he does play a major role.This will help to open up their “we cannot be touched” organisation

wobblies by 6
31 Jul 2010, 10:55 am
@JL1(JL1)-5: Also true. Just not prepared to listen to moans and groans about the ref again for the next week.
31 Jul 2010, 10:55 am
if ref has got a mature eye on mccheat the wobblies will win this
31 Jul 2010, 10:56 am
Kia Kaha black..
IF they are to win, I think it will be through the midfield channels, wont be surprised to see the drive employed 2 passes off the ruck..
31 Jul 2010, 10:56 am
No Weepu or Cooper is a pity as they occupy crucial roles.
I think the Wallaroos will miss Quade more . Giteau is best at 12.
The All Blacks have more to offer across the Park. A lesson is definitely on the cards for one team tonight. Australia’s relative inexperience will tell in the game.
The Wallabies are still short on pure firepower offensively and their tight five is good but not dominant.
The speed of the game will be alarming at times. It is an attraction .l the ABs vs Aus is the fastest game in the world. What slows continuity is error rate.Both Teams are very accurate and so both XVs can play for long periods at a serious clip.This is as good as it gets if you enjoy width in rugby..
31 Jul 2010, 10:58 am
Have’nt followed all the news this week. Anything new on the pitch?
31 Jul 2010, 11:04 am
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-11:
The ABs are happy, but feel the scrums might be a bit dicey if the surface breaks up.
31 Jul 2010, 11:08 am
@Wayne Barnes No.1 Ref(sipher)-8: you might have hit onto something there… what money Joubert making an example of Ritchie, after reading all the “cheat” press this week…
31 Jul 2010, 11:09 am
@David(David)-12: Could be interesting. Heard Henry groan about it but 10/10 for Deans’s response saying that it’s the same for both teams and ltes carry on. Still do not understand why the AB opted for Henry ahead of Deans.
31 Jul 2010, 11:11 am
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-14: probably because after every other WC loss, we have changed coach… I too think 8 years in charge of a team is way to long in rugby circles..
31 Jul 2010, 11:11 am
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-4:
That shouldnt be a problem here. The ref only seems to “play a part” when a Sth African team is involved.
31 Jul 2010, 11:12 am
@KWAGGA ROBERTSE(KWAGGA ROBERTSE)-14:
I don’t either, although apart from the WC Q final disaster, his record was amazing.
31 Jul 2010, 11:14 am
I predicted ABs by 11, not so sure anymore. It can be much closer.
31 Jul 2010, 11:15 am
Wobblies by 6
31 Jul 2010, 11:15 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-16: Remains to be seen. @David(David)-17: I Reckon Deans is probably the best around given his track record with the Saders. Wonder if he’ll give it a shot with the AB if Henry do decide to call it a day.
31 Jul 2010, 11:16 am
Agree with Keo, AB’s to wrap up the 3N today.
31 Jul 2010, 11:17 am
McCaw might be getting the heat from the Saffas, but in truth, it was the whole interpretation of the NH refs of the breakdown that allowed both Wobblies and ABs to get away with infingeing. Our problem was that we didn’t adjust as well, once we saw what was being allowed.
31 Jul 2010, 11:17 am
@PissAnt(PissAnt)-21: Aussie have actually led a few of the games recently going into half time, we have run over the top of them in the second half.. so I for one am not discounting them at all..
31 Jul 2010, 11:17 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-13:
Im sure there will be a load roar if the King gets ping’ed. It will only be that, tho, our Kissing Cousins cocking an ironic snook to our Absent Friends across the Indian Ocean, a sign of our everlasting ANZAC brotherhood much like the secret handshake at the Masons.
31 Jul 2010, 11:17 am
@Wayne Barnes No.1 Ref(sipher)-8: Judging by your comments since you’ve joined this site you wouldnt know what a mature is, so the sooner someone replaces the rock you were under the happier we will all be.
Wallabies in for a snotting
31 Jul 2010, 11:18 am
Gents enjoy the Ruggas. Off to top up the Castles and take some Gemsbok billies out the freezer. Chat later.
31 Jul 2010, 11:19 am
@Black Panther(Black Panther)-24: not only the king, but if we lose.. I know in which direction it will all be targeted too… you and I the chief recipients, but thats cool…
water of a clowns back..
31 Jul 2010, 11:21 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-23:
Oh no it is not going to be a walk in the park by any means.
Both teams are highly skillful but the Aussies lost quite a bit in this department loosing Cooper which is one reason why I think they might not make it today.
AB’s have also improved their set pieces from last year so I dont see any team dominating the other one here other than the odd line-out steal.
I think the AB’s will out-muscle the Aussies though, specifically at the break-down point.
What is going to be interesting to me is the fact that both these teams adopted a no-kick return policy against the Boks and almost never played the territorial game through kicking – I wonder if one of them will change this approach slightly now playing each other…???
And in that battle, there is only one winner, the man DC cause Gitt’s can’t kick tactically for ****.
31 Jul 2010, 11:24 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-27:
There is only one thing that the Bledisloe Cup NEEDS
A Wallaby win.
I hope they dont. Please God, no ! But it will be great for the rivalry.
I think it will be close <10
kia kaha !
31 Jul 2010, 11:26 am
Go Wobblies. Show the revenge-obsessed how to play the game with sportsmanship.
31 Jul 2010, 11:29 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-30:
The Auusies, Sportsmanship?
31 Jul 2010, 11:30 am
@PissAnt(PissAnt)-28: agree with you on Gits tactical kicking, can be shocking if pressured… I think Barnes though is more then capable of that role too though…
Tight five will be the difference I feel, and think the ABs will have the ascendancy in the scrum and this will lay the platform IMO for them to get home against the Wallabies..
31 Jul 2010, 11:31 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-30: yep, sportsmanship is disappearing for 3 weeks after your team loses aye?
31 Jul 2010, 11:31 am
@David(David)-31: Relatively speaking…
31 Jul 2010, 11:31 am
@poppa69(poppa69)-33: Only for 2 of the 3 losses…
31 Jul 2010, 11:37 am
@Heavens Game(Heavens Game)-35: Were there elements of no sportsmanship…
31 Jul 2010, 11:46 am
.
Given that Craig Joubert is involved, another of the dreaded hometown variety, look out for 1 of many personality deficiency trait-decisions like:-
– being overruled by linesmen despite seeing incident clearly himself
– blowing a penalty because a dumb@rse rugby player has asked rather encouragingly whilst raising his arms in the air frantically
– will penalise the high profile players early, just to ‘get his message through’.
– a bizarre interpretation of a technical rule that somehow gives the wrong team possession/advantage, probably leading to a game-turning score.
– allow play to be called back for a forward pass because the crowd did an especially big “whooooooooooooooooooooooAAAAAH !”
……all this whilst keeping his Mr Serious face on.

I really do not care about this match … the only thing I care about is my Lions eating some Bull this afternoon.

31 Jul 2010, 12:02 pm
@poppa69(poppa69)-41: hi poppa, didn’t see you there
do you think the ref will be a factor?
31 Jul 2010, 12:02 pm
