2nd Test vs All Blacks Thread

Anyone know what happened to Cheese?

One of the three stooges said something about his shoulder after Beale refused to pass to him. Explained why he was out on the wing.

Will find out more tomorrow I guess

Either way. That match was hard to watch...

Palu was too busy poleaxing his own players to be effective

All Blacks got on a roll and ran with it in a big way, unfortunately the Wallabies were beaten by a better, hungrier and clinical team.

Wallabies need to learn basic ball skills, the laws of the game and get a captain who inspires! Embarrassing!

Subbed at half time I think

Before half time. 31 min.

Plaing with one arm after the penalty try, I'm pretty sure his right arm was torn off and reattached.

Couldn't hear the commentary at the Paddo so didn't hear what was said about Cheese. Hopefully he isn't out for too long!

fardy is another who has gone MIA, he was a lot better last year. Also McCabe is not good enough to be a test winger. Higginbotham made a good impact but game was a bit loose by then.

"Adding injury to insult, hooker Nathan Charles suffered a shoulder injury which ended his night before half-time."

Pectoral injury is all I can find out :-((

Keeping the same team for Eden park is an indication of Link's ability to pick on form.

The ARU high performance unit doesn't seem to have changed one molecule since Deans was sacked......the same old mistakes getting made with the same old players. Until we can find a coach with the balls and political clout to stand up to whoever is the problem, we'll never beat the ABs

So prophetic Gigs!! What a fecking disgraceful performance they put in. And in the post-match interview Hooper didn't seem in any way bothered

Totally agree with the captaincy point. No 'fire in the belly', 'let's smash 'em' hunger whatsoever in Hooper as far as I can see. Great player; pretty poor captain. Bit like Pocock for mine.

One of the biggest differences in playing style between the two is the entire AB's teams willingness to offload in the tackle. . Keep the ball alive at all times. They punished us last night with their ball handling and unpredictability.

I thought it was well predictable. When we made a shit tackle and didn't secure the arms. The blicks offloaded. We got the result we deserved

Could be ribs now ;

Oh no :-((((

Saw on one news site today that he's almost certain to miss the Perth test whatever the injury :-(
