The Wallabies were soft. Like, totally unprepared for the physicality of the ABs game. But the ABs weren't playing any harder than we'd expect, so... wtf? The Wallabies made it to a World Cup final not that long ago, but last night's team wouldn't win a Super Rugby match.

I saw a comment on twitter last night from an aussie fan, something like "how can you expect to beat a team in which every player on the field can run and catch and look for pop passes". What.

Those are basic skills that kids are supposed to know before highschool, not uber elite secret knowledge that professionals learn. I think what we're seeing now is the shitty outcome of the shitty things that Australian rugby management did 15, 20 years ago. Pouring money into buying shitty league players because of the media value rather than growing the game at the grassroots level. Simple stuff like that.

But he's joking, right? Right?

Too much competition from the likes of Aussie Rules and League for kid's attention?

So was Franks' gouge a gouge? Why no citation or complaints (aside from Rugby twitter)?

I don't think he was gouging, but he was certainly interfering with the guy's face and probably should've been yellow carded. It might be that the only reason he didn't gouge is that he couldn't get a good finger hold and ended up rubbing that guy's face instead!

He should of at least been cited, and then decide what happened.
Not just be dismissed immediately.

It shows that he did have his arm around his neck/shoulder, then moved to his face, then moved back again.

It looked like he was just trying to be annoying by getting his hand in his face rather than anything dangerous, but really, do you even have to do that to a bewildered wallaby to get some advantage?

I'm sure that SANZAR has more video of this than I do, so if SANZAR says no need for a citing who am I to argue?

While I delight in watching the ABs defeat the Wallabies. Part of me does feel sad to see a former All Blacks rival decline so much.

Great stuff! Now do one of an Aussie hurling a boot away like it's a one-way boomerang!

I reckon Franks picked his arse and wanted to share the scent with the Strayan guy.

Maybe, but its not a good time to do it when their head is above the maul. You are just asking for trouble.

To be fair, I thought that the try should have stood. Fuck off TMO, if I wanted to watch a sport where everything is determined by slow-mo replays I'd watch American Football. Yeah Savea was impeded, but fuck who cares - it would have been a nice try.

That said, once again the All Blacks have a good fair tussle for 65 minutes and then go apeshit in the last 15 because they're fresh and fit and the opposition looks tired. Take all that skill and then add pure fitness and the outcome is inevitable. Whoever is in charge of conditioning at ABs HQ, give that man or woman a beer.

By my quick reckoning the 2015 World Rugby Coach of the Year has just lost two international series in a row with 3-0 whitewashes. Nice work Cheika.

Was talking to a guy who was in charge of strength and conditioning for Canterbury and he reckons one of the key factors when picking the forwards was picking the guys who were quickest from ruck to ruck, rather than picking the strongest.

Yeah, I'd agree they were hard done by, although barging a chasing player off his line is hardly the height of good sportsmanship.

That decision alone didn't cost them the game, though, and that and all the whining about the respect that they weren't getting makes him look like a bit of a petulant dick.

Also, the Black Ferns smashed the crap out of the Wallaroos in the curtain raiser, altogether a black day for the convicts.

I though that had Savea not been impeded there was decent chance he could have tackled Speight.

Also motherfuckers act like they forgot about Cyprus

I agree, when I saw it happen I thought it was bad, but after seeing it again it wouldn't have mattered.

But, on the flip side, I believe Coles was interferred enough done the other end when going for the loose ball.
He had his right arm taken out which would have been the arm he used to ground the ball.
So swings and roundabouts
