    Ah come on no one is saying he is "screwing us over". But he has made a couple of notably poor decisions which its fair to highlight, especially when they deny you either tries or attacking opportunities. Have to disagree on the pocock penalty also. I guess its a matter of interpretation but in real time it was never a penalty for me.

    But you're right its a great game. What concerns me is that Oz are well in the game despite having done very little. If we go off the boil or they get a purple patch we could be in trouble.

    Don't know why Pocock isn't being targeted any time he even looks at a ruck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Ah all that effort and then that!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,599 ✭✭✭ScrubsfanChris


    There was an overlap wide, wrong desicion to cut back in.

    Exactly. Me neither. We need to adapt our attacking game to target him.

    Wasting so much ball, NZ would've scored a few tries from these positions. Need to do much better

    He is. We are absolutely smashing him but you can't get him every single time.

    Another tackle off the ball and no card

    They were given plenty of time to get that one moving alright.

    Phipps isn't half the player genia is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,756 ✭✭✭✭Squidgy Black


    Henshaw is ten times better at inside centre.


  • Posts: 20,606 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Off ****ing side before that intercept by a MILE. 4 players.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,411 ✭✭✭✭Hurrache


    That's the second in a row Beale went high.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Our halfbacks are absolutely buzzing since the break. Passing into gaps is fantastic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,076 ✭✭✭✭vienne86


    Have to score here.

    Tackling players off the ball and going high and no card, Ref needs to put a stop to it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 603 ✭✭✭umop episdn


    Stupid... stupid decision to replace your hooker at a 5m throw
