Keep the ball in hand

Well its slightly late and I don't have the break down that UCB did but I will predict:

NZ- 36
Aus- 12

If Reid goes down that is a big hole to fill

Bad mistake by smith

Pocock

undercoverbrother · 10-31-2015, 10:29 AM

Pocock and Fardy

16-3 and it is hard to see Australia able to score a single try let alone double digits to comeback.

They appeared to just be holding on for the last 20 minutes there trying to get out of the half without giving up a try.

Sadly I think you are right.

10 points off missed calls by the refs, but NZ has player the better rugby.

I am happy that the game is been well played.

Sadly you are correct. Giteau and Douglas were big losses, but NZ playing good rugby.

10 points?

I imagine the forward pass is the 3 points what is the other call?

I think Australia has got a few calls at the breakdown when Fardy and Hooper have been off their feet.

Right before the NZ try there was a dummy runner, which was sheparding/obstruction.

I actually think he has policed the breakdown well.

could that have been a red card?

i don't know my rugby rules.

Well Australia needed some luck and they got it with that bad pass from Millner-Skuder.

Not sure why Kepu gets off with no yellow with his tackles but I guess Owens has no choice to give the card with the new rules they have for those tackles.

I think it would have been a bad call but yes it could have been.

They are really putting on focus on hits like that and removing them.

Nope it wasn't malicious it was over exuberant.

Kepu's hit IMO are fine, at realy speed the first one doe at look bad, they decide hit was fine. I think they are applying the law wrong, it should only be when the neck is the primary point of contact.

Stop kicking
