You uncultured man. My culture is about utter respect something you can obviously not fathom.
The referees are favouring the All Blacks
We all know your thoughts on how NZ players play the game as it is well recorded on the roar, your opinions are not reflective of the entire truth. Firstly No one referee calls the game the same. So where one person calls a penalty another calls play on. Which is right? You have to adapt to how a referee calls a game. The AB’s adapt to a referees interpretation the best, they annalise quickly how a ref is calling the game and adapt accordingly. They probably do a lot of research to understand how a ref calls the game so they have a good idea of his interpretations, so the infringements you perceive to be infringements are in a lot of cases your interpretation of the rules but probably not the guy in the middle with the Whistle, because you can bet the AB’s know what his interpretation is and they are playing too the letter of the law as adjudicated by who ever has the Whistle.

Why not blame DHP KCOL IT WAS HIS FAULT, not the refs it is that simple all he had to do was keep his line and he would have been there to do what Coles did When Savea was chased down and tackled before the line. If he ran straight and didn’t head straight towards Savea either him or Speight score, yet some how it is the refs fault for DHP POOR decision. thats why we are calling Whiners.

If placed in the same position RT I would blame our player for making a stupid decision.

IF the AB’s were denied a try like that I personally would blame our player for making a stupid decision not the ref. You have to be good enough to take refereeing decisions out of the game, a hard lesson learnt after 2007 but a very important one, On home soil I would say the Ab’s get the same rub of the green as any other home side. except away from home the AB’s take the refereeing decisions out of the equation by scoring a lot more points than the opposition. It is quite simple score more points than the opposition and take the ref out of the game, if a decision goes against you heads up move on, yet again a hard lesson learnt by past failures to do so. Two teams decide how the game is won the ref decides how the rules are adjudicated. His word is law.

I enjoyed it Chook. And he does make good points even though wanting your team to lose is a bit strange imo. If nothing it shows Marto’s frustration as well as many others that has been flooding through the Roar since the June test.
A plea to Michael Cheika
The last 20 minutes is mental, The mental capacity to get up quick to get into position to perform basic integral skills under immense pressure is all mental 2beers, all teams are fit enough but do they all have the mental strength to keep going when their lungs are exploding because of the intensity they have to play at to compete with the AB’s for 60 minutes, IMO the answer is no they don’t. The top 2 percent is the monumental difference between the AB’s and the rest and no skills coach is going to change that. Another thing is it is a 23 man game and only England and SA(without restrictions) could put together a comparative 23. I thought the biggest on field negative was that with all the possession and field position Australia were not clinical in turning opportunities to points. You don’t get many chances to put the AB’s under that amount of pressure so when you do you have to be clinical.
What went right for the Wallabies
Build a team around the Lions Hooker and 2nd/5 and they will be good.
A tale of two rugby nations
Chieka only provides distraction when his side loses EJ, when they win he is happy to talk about rugby, when they lose it is always something other than the game it self. those are some dodgy tactics if you ask me, but I’m from the old school were coaches were humble in defeat and gracious in victory.
A plea to Michael Cheika
Fionn it is up to the Bok and Wallaby’s to raise their standard, not for the AB to lower theirs. you talk about Rafa and Federer, but at the moment the Wallabies and Bok are playing the part of the 122 seed Wildcard. I would rather see one team play rugby the way it should be played than 2 teams bungle their way through 80 minutes of rugby.
Yes we do need Australia and the Boks to be strong but the responsibility to ensure their teams are strong should sit with ARU and SARU(plus the SA government). So Fionn how do you suppose Australia gets better? because that has very little to do with the AB’s
A plea to Michael Cheika
DHP made a stupid decision, that is pretty much the end of discussion.
Rogue Cheika tarnishes the Wallabies once again
Ash that is specifically for money it is not done out of the goodness of their hearts. So yes you do need those teams for those leagues, because they are a revenue stream that otherwise they don’t have.

How many times have you been hit in the face with an elbow Peter?
Rogue Cheika tarnishes the Wallabies once again
Hansen seems to agree with you Peter.
Michael Cheika keeps fans, All Blacks guessing about Wallabies team
He has only started one game pform, pretty hard to see that as fact due to how little he has started.
Julian Savea back for Eden Park Wallabies clash
Nigel I don’t agree with that, Savea does all the core rolls, he is hardly ever out wide and is in and around most rucks making a nuisance of himself. Imo it is all to do with dominant defence, which is Savea’s something to work on, and the way the AB’s are playing this year is about line speed and making dominant tackles behind the Gain line, Savea has the Line speed but very few of his tackles are dominant, he doesn’t miss many but until he dominates the ball carrier he will be sen as the last 20 minute guy.
Todd named as All Blacks openside vs Wallabies
DH I think it is more to do with Todd having the more dominant defence, the game is moving away from the breakdown battle to the gain line battle. Savea is a great defender but not many of his tackles are dominant so I reluctantly accept Todd starting but once Savea puts on enough weight to become a more dominant defender the world needs to watch out. He isn’t far off but I now understand why Cane is ahead of Savea at the moment, and it begins and ends with dominant defence and the pressure it enables the AB’s to build behind the gain line. Subsequently Australia to me is still trying to win the breakdown battle by playing both Hooper and Pocock were the game seems to have moved on. The gain line is were the battle is won and lost these days imo. DH what do you think?
Todd named as All Blacks openside vs Wallabies
I would personally like 5 years, 3 just is not enough imo. a 5 year period shows a serious commitment to a country. 3 years isn’t enough time to show you are more than a mercenary.
CONFIRMED: Fijian team to be welcomed into the NRC
What would you like to see the residency rule as TWAS?
CONFIRMED: Fijian team to be welcomed into the NRC
look at Michael Alaalatoa in New Zealand JJ he is Australian he is playing in a compitition that if he stays at Canterbury for the remainder of his contract will be eligible for NZ. It is not so far fetched to see the ARU sign the Best talent to Super rugby with clauses that mean they can play in the NRC but only with Australian based teams because they are seen as a future Wallaby similar to Radradra for the Kangaroo’s. I’m not saying this will happen but it is more than feasible that this can and probably will happen.
CONFIRMED: Fijian team to be welcomed into the NRC
Rickety Knees as mentioned before there is many forms of Mana what you mention is only one aspect of it which is no more important than the many other forms. But if complaining and reacting over the top is a way of gaining your manhood in the Australian way Michael Chieka loves so much, who am I to judge.
There is method in Cheika's madness
