All Blacks vs Wallabies - Hong Kong Oct.30th - 09.30

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 8:24am #1

No thread :eek: and no time for the teams - seven minutes to kick-off and, as usual, I'm beside myself with excitement. Another 'Blackout' hopefully with the new rebuilt Dan Carter playing a blinder.

JustinDee · 30-10-2010 8:28am

Bledisloe overkill.

I'll be viewing it as a pre-tour warmup and nothing else. At least our analysts can have another look at the NZ team before they get over here.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 8:36am

Yeah, a warm up alright and see how Dan's ankle operation affects his game. All I want is for the boys to get through without any injuries - taking down the Aussies will just be a bonus but I'm not counting any chickens.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 8:43am

Beale misses an early penalty and the score remains 0-0.

Nonu penalised and another woeful attempt by Beale goes wide.

Quade Cooper gets in for a try and Giteau fails to convert. Aussies with almost all the possession so far.

5-0 to Wallabies.

Teg Veece · 30-10-2010 8:53am

Awesome defence from the All Blacks so far. Wallibies have had all the possession but have gone backwards everytime they've taken the ball into contact.
It doesn't bode well for Ireland...

andrewdcs · 30-10-2010 8:55am

Wallabies playing very very well... shame they dont have a goal kicker! (correction: and can't scrum!)
On a cold windy rainy evening you need to take 3 where you can.

Pitch is shocking.

SuprSi · 30-10-2010 9:04am

Brilliant try by Cooper

andrewdcs · 30-10-2010 9:05am

Unbelievable step!

Nonu cannot defend. Liability! Powerful tackler if he gets lined up but he's never in the right position.

laugh · 30-10-2010 9:06am

Ma'a Nonu is the best centre in the world apparently.

laugh · 30-10-2010 9:09am

Big forward pass from Carter there.

SuprSi · 30-10-2010 9:10am

Wow, brilliant defending by the Wallabies

Don't write him off just yet. Good game so far. Anyone watch the ITM semi this morning.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:13am

Great scrum half try by Jimmy Cowen and Carter gets conversion. 12-7 to Aussies.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:15am

Great try by Cory Jane!:D

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:15am

Good game this, jane try

thomond2006 · 30-10-2010 9:15am

Just woke up, time/score update? I've money on Aus.

Corsendonk · 30-10-2010 9:15am

Game on!

SuprSi · 30-10-2010 9:16am

14 - 12 All Blacks. Great match, with the AB's coming back from 12 down thanks to 2 tries.

copacetic · 30-10-2010 9:18am

creative kick off from aussies, peno chance to go back ahead - badly missed.

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:18am

That's more like it from Carter. Waikito will now face Canterbury in the ITM final after a one point win over Auckland this morning, the winning scores coming in injury time.

andrewdcs · 30-10-2010 9:18am

Cracking game now, Wallabies making a few defensive mistakes of their own.

No point in kicking at all, both sides mixing the attacking lines up really well.

We'll HAVE to hang on to the ball for dear life in a few weeks. If i see a hint of a box kick / territory prober I'll loose my lungs.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:19am

Giteau misses another sitter and score remains 14-12 to the All Blacks.

Carter is back on song and gets another penalty. 17-12 at Half Time.

What is it with the Wallabies and blowing leads?

BOHSBOHS · 30-10-2010 9:19am

1 from 5 kicks so for for aussies ? strong crosswinds though

A mistake at the scrum. Early shove with no put-in by NZ. Should have been Aussie free-kick.

It's very evident in this match. Giteau hasn't been himself since he missed that easy penalty against England a while back that would've won them the match, and their scrum is rubbish.

thomond2006 · 30-10-2010 9:22am

HT

New Zealand 17
Australia 12

Bloody Australia. :rolleyes:

Another class kick from the legend that is Carter. The Aussies are lucky they are not down to 14. There scrum is ferrible as usual.

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:24am

Have you them backed in the handicap, they were plus 7.

Aus to win @ 5/2.

Not looking good now, they are plus 12 in running now, it is a good game so far, the all blacks totally domiant at scrum time.

Teg Veece · 30-10-2010 9:32am

Anyone else have the "pleasure" of listening to Aussie commentators?

I know Ryle Nugent is biased but this takes it to a new level.

yes, they are very one sided anytime i have listening to them.

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:41am

Another missed kick from Matt

Corsendonk · 30-10-2010 9:47am

Cowan seems to be having a great game.

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:48am

To early to write off nonu, good try, class lead up play by McCaw

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:48am

NONU!

24-12 TO ALL BLACKS

corny · 30-10-2010 9:49am

Simple hands shifting the ball wide from a set piece and Aussies were caught short. Terrible defending.

basillarkin · 30-10-2010 9:49am

Ya he is everywhere, 24-12 now to the AB

He beat Moore wohoo. He got his ass handed to him trying to tackle in the first half.

Corsendonk · 30-10-2010 9:52am

Cooper was going to Rugby league, at least they would have taught him how to tackle. All Blacks destroying him by running at him everytime.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:55am

Carter off Donald on.

Over the course of a game most players will have missed a tackle or two. Cooper has missed alot, Nonu, Smith and Kaino all targeting him.

Judgement Day · 30-10-2010 9:57am

Mitchell in at the corner and James O'Connor converts 24-19 to All Blacks.

corny · 30-10-2010 9:58am

Why is Quade Copper still on the pitch. Jesus. They're taking off Giteau instead.

LowOdour · 30-10-2010 9:59am

Nice try by the wallabies

laugh · 30-10-2010 10:02am

Feck Barnes.

Corsendonk · 30-10-2010 10:04am

Bring back Stephen Moore! This new hooker is useless at the lineout.

The Aussies set play and place kicking has been terrible.

corny · 30-10-2010 10:05am

Pocock doesn't deserve to lose. The fancy turnovers aside his workrate is unbelievable.

Agreed, Cooper is having a bad game.
