After the all blacks have been gifted an arm chair ride to the final it would be a massive choke if they lost
wallabies run to the final was brutal. Im not sure they have another big one left in them
What do we know?
Auckland - last game smashed - hardly just hanging onto the Bledisloe check
Pocock - nullified - check
Australia weak for long periods of the game - Scotland, Argies and England. Check
Australia missed lots of first up tackles - check
Australia - passionate scrambling defence - check - dam.
Foley - can miss under pressure - check
Israel - injured - probably should not be playing - check
Scrum - looked shakey once more - check
Ref - no incorrect decisions re Scotland penalty at the death or Adam Ashely Cooper receiving forward pass to seal win - Nigel Owens lets the game run - check
Australia looked tired after 60 mins - check
ABs - can win ugly - something not always done in the past - check
ABs - composure - points and a man down at half time - check (Boks not lost whilst being in front at the break for a very very long time)
Richie - cleared to play - check
Dan - still the man - check. Took only his 7th Field goal in over 110 tests - great game reading ability - check
Weather - Rain or sunshine ABs adjust - check
Lineout - on fire - check
Crowd - check - did you hear the crowd in the last game? Seemed they had forgotten those Falkland Islands !!
Egg on face - nope - disappointed - yes
Will be a great game no matter what.
Sam is a giant - check
Ted making things up- check.
If the wallabies win it will be the greatest world cup victory ever.
They've really so many tough games to get there..
Its like ted did the cup draw
Some nice trick photography there. Glad to see you all brought into that but offered nothing in response to the facts. Cobra was always going to wage a debate with no substance but the rest of you should be ashamed
