Wannabees looking very good early. Thorn yellowed for a high shot on Giteau, near the posts.

Aus 3-0.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:19

You little beauty!!! Ryan Cross under the posts in his first Test. Great run by Loti to set up the try.

Aus 10-0.

Are you trying to remove all the suspense for me?

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:28

Don't read!!

Just dodged a bullet after a brilliant tackle by Giteau on Carter, with the ABs holding a massive overlap. ABs starting to get on a roll.

by freddled gruntbuggly Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:31

That's alright, I'd rather know in advance that we'll tank it than watch and hope.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:32

Great defensive effort at the moment. But the AB forwards are monsters. It'll be a great effort to stay in front.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:33

And the ABs crash over for their first try. Just too much rolling power.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:36

Carter remarkably misses the conversion - 10-5 to Aus in the 27th minute.

ABs starting to exploit a defensive weakness (Ryan Cross) in the centres.

by freddled gruntbuggly Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:44

Bloody weak Leeeeg converts.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:44

Boojah!!!!

Great back line move followed by a kick and chase sees another debutant score a try for the Wallabies. Banjo Peter Hynes scores and Giteau converts.

17-5 to the good guys!!

You know that leading now is just going to make the second-half collapse even worse, don't you?

Aye. Kiwi Sivivatu starting to run amok. We just dodged another bullet after the Kiwis ran the ball from their own quater and got within 5 m before knocking on. 2 minutes to go in 1st half, 17-5 Aus.

Looks entirely possible, tails. The ABs look pretty awesome.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:51

Damn, too much strength. AB winger Hore crashes over to make it 17-10 with a kick to come, just on half time.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 11:52

And Carter converts as the hooter blows. 17-12 to Aus at half time.

Looks ominous, tails.

by freddled gruntbuggly Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:01

We're doomed. DOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMED. Just like the Shark and Cadel.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:03

Yeah, a collapso hattrick is definitely on the cards.

by Zat Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:03

For some added entretainment, listen to the best rugby call on the net

He's a Kiwi, but hella funny.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:05

Erk!! The Kiwi steamroller now looks pretty unstoppable. Try just after half time. Conversion will put them in front.

by Zat Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:06

Go to the web commentary. At least you'll get a few laughs while the ship goes down.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:07

Could be floodgates now. Conversion successful, 19-17 to Kiwis.

by Zat Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:07

Maybe it's all part of Messiah Deans's plan.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:09

He needs to grow some monster forwards. The poor buggers did brilliantly for 38 minutes but now look totally r00ted.

by Zat Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:10

Well, Nic Henderson is no monster but three times the prop that useless, dumb, fat, tub of lard Dunning. he's fit and goes for 80 minutes. Wins the Brumbies forward of the year award, and can't even crack the Aus A squad.

There's still some political shit that he needs to sort out.

by skully Sat 26 Jul 2008, 12:11

Fatt Dunning [chortle]. HTF he even gets picked for the Tahs is beyond me. Suspect
