Wallabies shouldn't be too proud of themselves for this. To let two tries in by an undermanned team... they should be a little concerned. All Blacks lost fair and square though.

That's not great of course, but I'm not saying it wasn't a weak performance from the AB's. I'm talking about the wallabies having everything in their favour and still letting in two tries from an undermanned team. That's nothing to be crowing about.

Yeah it was a hopeless performance all round from the AB's I think. I'm not giving either of these teams a chance right now. Still... RWC often brings out the best when it really matters. Not just for the AB's but for everyone. Next weekend will be different too, I'm certain about that.

JOC played 13 (outside centre) alongside Kerevi at 12. He did play well though. Wallabies backline looking way better/slicker without Foley.

I worry that the All Blacks unnecessarily tire themselves out doing that ridiculous, silly dance performance before the game.

It's a traditional, ceremonial dance known as the Haka.

I don’t get why ABs get to do the Haka, but the Wallabies don’t get to do the waltz.
Seems to me a bit dancist.

It's not a dance, It's a prayer and a challenge. Is Sumo dohyō-iri a dance?
Mr Kipling
I read its a “challenge” from Islander cultures... The Europeans look pretty silly doing it.
Not their culture at all. A little like having the British Lions do a Scottish jig.
Just scrap it and play the game. Scrap the national anthems too as half the players on most teams are foreign.
