All Blacks beat Wallabies 38-13

Mounga vs Barrett. B Barrett had a fairly good night imo to keep this argument on hold after a mediocre start , he left a lot of potential points on the park from kicks though. Eden Park will be a tough nut to crack for the Aussies, but anything’s possible, nearly pulled it off in Dunners last year...

The Wallabies' lineouts were shocking but they really should have won the game. It's just that when they make a small mistake, the ABs capitalize straight away and score tries. When the ABs make a small mistake, the Wallabies can't quite get there (which of course shows how good the ABs are). Another frustrating game to watch considering by half time (6-5) it could have been anyone's game. But how many times has the same thing happened? The decider in Tokyo in October will most likely not be a decider unless the Wallabies can pull off a miracle in NZ next week. Nice to keep dreaming.....yet again.

The wallabies' set piece was a shambles (again) last night. You can't lose 7/8 of your own lineout throws and expect to beat the AB (or any top 5 side for that matter).

A lot of people are saying the All Blacks were woeful in the first half, but I really think it had more to do with the Wallabies playing very good rugby.

Hi RM, i thought the Wallabies had a decent first half but reckon AB were their own worst enemy i.e. a few fwd passes, knock-ons etc. Foley's lack of pace (and very average passing/kicking game) didn't help either.
