Ok, a poor performance for the Wallabies, but who come third in the Tri-Nations? and who will win?

Question

Wallabies V AB's...they are a stronger side, but Wallabies can & should win, because the mighty AB's often 'chock', thats why they never win the RWC as well! We do need to drop Timana Tahoo though, Ryan Cross played well, but Timana..............oooooh well!

Also why did we lose almost every line out throw?

Answer 1

Are you kidding me, "Chock" and "Tahoo"????  You did mean "Choke" and "Tahu".  Of course you did !!!  IF, it's choking that you think the mighty AB's do, you need to go and research how many times they've retained the Tri-Nations and the Bledisloe.  Maybe, you're right about the World Cup, yet that is every 4 years, what is your excuse for your team not winning the Tri-Nations or the Bledisloe held every year!!!!

Answer 2

All blacks will lose here again like last time . Home game advantage is worth of 10 points and it will do to Wallabies. Different story if played in NZ ,but not here!!  

Answer 3

we lost line out trows because our throws were perthetic south africa

are good at line outs also because palu was injured for most of the game  

Answer 4

Thats 'Choke' not 'Chock' and thats 'Tahu' not 'tahoo' and the ABs will do to the Wallabies what the Spring Boks just did to them......  

So thats 3 strikes mate.  DON'T play softball.

You are D R E A M I N G!!!

Answer 5

The All Blacks should (and thoroughly deserve to) win.

The old Wannabes got hammered by the Springboks - and bloody good job too!

They beat an under strength French side, an All Black side down in strength, a poorly performing Springbok side and think they're the best in the world. Well the the All Blacks and the Springboks have given them a couple of good old fashioned clips around the ears. Now maybe they'll just play rugby instead of this "look how good we are" c**p. I get sick of Phil Kearns and the other 1 eyed Mozzie commentators.

I'll bet all those in the Robbie Deans fan club are now wondering where to hide their heads - they're very quiet now.

I hope the All Blacks thrash the Wannabes, but unfortunately, I don't think so. I'm picking it will be close??

Answer 6

Tahu wasn't too bad. He got poor service last night which didn't help. But I do agree that Cross would have been a better choice. But Ashley-Cooper, surely he has now played his last test.

Unfortunately, we tend to pick our hookers based solely on scrummaging and open play. You cannot expect to win tests if you can't win your own lineouts. Both hookers throwing was abysmal. We can but hope that there will be an improvement next week.

Answer 7

The Men in Black will complete the education session for the Wannabes...they will certainly (maybe) be a threat (to Japan) in a few years...but they will make history again on Sept 13 (like they did in JoBerg)

Answer 8

The Wallabies threw about as well as a bunch of blind drunks. The lineout play as a whole was about school boy standard, and they truly deserve to get hammered by a Bokke side who weren't even at their best! However, this Tri Nations goes to the ABs. They might be RWC chokers, but they are the masters of the Tri Nations. Actually, I seem to remember New Zealand being the first ever RWC champions...?!

Answer 9

wat r u talking about the all blacks dnt choke in tri nations if they do how come they have won six more tri nation cups then the wallabies,,wait till brisbane they should at least have half of the crowd on there side if the polynesions come and watch

Answer 10

all blacks might be chokers in world cup but in tri nations they are the best. i really thought wallabies were missing berrick barnes, cuz matt giteau was very lonely and had himself as the only kicking option. yea, all blacks uses dan carter as the only option of kicking but the all blacks often go to muliaina if not dan and ashley-cooper was absolutely shocking in durban. i really think ryan cross is a better option at second five or centre. aussie lineout = c**p. boks are the best team in terms of lineout. hopefully in brisbane all blacks can do what they did in auckland.

Answer 11

I think the Wallabies need a change of sponsor they are playing about as bad as Qantas is flying!

Answer 12

South Africa excel at set piece play. Thats why Australia got hammered in the scrum. The aus line out struggled with accuracy due to poor calls and fatigue. Who in the aus pack can claim to be a dominant lineout technician?

You may well call the All Blacks "chockers" in terms of the WRC, but they have won 8 of the last 12 Tri Nations.

Im from Ireland, and i don't really care about tri nation results, but from what i have seen, oz have flown by the seat of there pants, and SA have lacked without smit and there classic bully boy bakkies. NZ deserve it
