All Blacks will need to protect the breakdown better. Foocock will go for it every time with a vengeance.

Cheika embracing the fetchers. 3 at a time... And It is working for them so well.

We didn't even take one to the World Cup.

I'm pretty sure Louw is our dedicated fetcher?

This, so much this. We probably would be in the final right now if we had one genuine fetcher.

He is not a specialist like a Brussow.

And he rarely played the role of a fetcher in our campaign.

 

[FoXtroT]

I have to disagree, I'm sure he has always been considered a specialist fetcher

Yep, the way I understand it, too.

He ended up with 13 turnovers after last night. Only 1 less than Pocock.

Injuries hitting Wallabies early.

 

[APoc184]

How sad is that. Even the All Blacks forwards kick better contestable kicks than our backs.

Like wallabies hitting ABs late

 

[FoXtroT]

How sad is that. Even the All Blacks forwards kick better contestable kicks than our backs.

And with a injured ankle no less!

Giteau failed his concussion test.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Err forward pass?

 

[FoXtroT]

Not according to Barnes

I always wonder about these.

Apparently it is quite difficult even if you are not concussed.

Reckon a few guys will fail it on any given day.

Err forward pass?

Yep. Linesman didn't say anything.

 

[OMB]

Looks like this game is going to be won on penalties

 

[MickeyD]

Err forward pass?
