Been all the Aussies this half, not putting their chances away though. They haven't picked any wingers either which isn't helping.
Not the conditions for attacking/running rugby but surprised at the lack of attacking threat from the AB's.
All Blacks looked lacklustre, more basic mistakes in this game than I have seen in a long time. Jaco Peyer was blowing them heavily for infringements, Mccaw was not able to get away with his usual moves, two yellow cards is certainly unusual, and probably deserved.

Australia could have won that match, good chances went begging. The Aussie scrum looked very solid as did their defence. A good wrestle of a test match.

The bok game is not rugby, it is waterpolo, the heavens have opened up, waiting for Noah to arrive at half time.
Quite amusing really it didn't look 'that pan' when the camera was panned out but going in close you really appreciated how wet it was!I expect the Boks to grind this one out, might switch over for the ladies RWC final!
ETA Was convinced the final was today at half 5 but it's tomorrow.

Argentina are looking good. Totally demolished the bok scrum, scored three really good tries, had the boks down 16/26 at one stage. If they play like that at the RWC, serious threat to any team. The boks struggled, with their set piece play, kicking game, the young flyhalf had a tough day at the office. After that performance, aus will be licking their lips, never mind the kiwis.
