AB's v Poms

[WFDom]

Anybody watching the game... sounds like they're expecting a slaughter!

[Jules]

I'm watching it. England holding there own!!

Appaerently they're minus 7 of the usual starting 15 because of the English final last week?

What's the scores Jules?

[Jules]

True not full strength. Just three penalties each. Half time. Going well.

Conrad Smith seems to agree with everybody else in New Zealand rugby, apparently nobody else in the world plays rugby, because he refused to even acknowledge the Poms. Even when set up to say they were playing out of their skins.

If the Poms keep the game tight and the ABs keep slowing the play down the way they are, the Blackness might lose this one.

(wishful thinking, anybody but New Zealand I say)

Go England! My $10 is looking good at the moment!

Enjoying the game. AB's very wobbly on turnover ball and unstructured play. Expected an easy day I reckon. They won't do the same against us layer in the year.

Enjoying the game at the Carbon. Bunch of Port A supporters are howling that their sound is turned down.

Don't let him see the SAfr NZ '20s replay from the other night - Boks opened a can of asswoop on 'em

OK, I might be a little prejudiced about this, but does anybody else think Nigel Owens got to minute 60 and decided it was wrong that the AllBlacks weren't winning?

Compare the Yard binning to Fekitoa's non release on the try line. Shocking decision.

[shasta]

WTF was that last play from England B?

Throw it to the fat boy standing at 1st reciver and completely isolated. Nobody within an acre of him.

[SNOB]

I thought Owen had a bad day. 3 knock backwards he called forward. 2 ab penaltys on their try line and nothing, England one penalty and a yellow! WTF
The NZRU must have bought him a one way ticket and told him they'd buy the return if they won.

That was a disgrace! And Grant Nizzbutt's commentating on the situation made me sick; calling for a card on Marland Yarde when he didn't call for one on Malakai Fekitoa! And what about him asking about the early charge on the conversion? Comparing it to the Ireland game, he had the gall to actually spout the phrase, "Where's the consistency?" Where was the consistency with Yarde and Fekitoa, Nizzbutt?! I swear I can't watch a match when that prick is on the microphone, most blatantly biased sook commentator in the game.

For all the faults of the Foxtel guys, at least they know their biases and are tongue-in-cheek about it.

Shocking refereeing!!! Reckon the NZRU must have upgraded him to first class on the flight over from Wales :-/

Well we did pretty well out of having Joubert, so.........

Joubert must be a fair bit cheaper than Owens though, any home team can afford to get an easy game with him.

Funny you should say that Gigs. The Mrs said straight of "wish Jobers was reffing". So do I! I think if Nigel does watch his games he will be kringing tonight.
As I keep saying to my son in law " I support Australia or any other team that plays the AB's ".
