What a game that was. Excellent performance by the Wallabies and a strong comeback by the All Blacks.

[@stevenh7842]

So close. Disappointing for Australia to let down such a good half time lead, but great to see them being competitive again. Hopefully they can starting building consistency soon. They've shown how good they can be.

From a South African perspective, I think Australia are still going to surprise friend and foe at the world cup. And New Zealand can realistically field up to three brilliant sides before they field a "B" side. This was a great game of rugby to watch today.

There should have been a few more TMO looks, it could have changed the result. NZ 2nd try was clear obstruction, should have been penalty to Aus, not try for NZ. But overall good to see a tough contest. Happy Aus is showing signs of reaching top form, will make World Cup much more interesting.

[@McDJNomi]

Fully agree. Or AT LEAST the option of a penalty over there, but just a knock on is ridiculous

[@Karma-qt4ji]

As a neutral I disagree. The protocol is whether or not he was in a realistic position to regather and I agree with the referee that he was.

[@alhOOO2O]

@@Karma-qt4ji not sure why you think writing you’re a neutral gives your reply more credence? I’m a neutral as well, I’ve just got eyes. Technically you could argue that essentially any ball that you manage to get fingers to you have a chance of catching - there is responsibility on the defensive player to actually catch it if there is such a big overload

[@Karma-qt4ji]

@@alhOOO2O And I am not sure why you think insulting me is going to win the argument. No technically you could not argue that any ball you manage to get fingers on you have a chance of catching, and you know that; but a ball that you get fingers on and then miss the regather by a couple of inches and then only because the ball is lower than your hands, not further away - well, yes, you have a far better chance of regathering that. Also the law does not say that there is a responsibility on the defensive player to actually catch the ball if there is such a big overlap.
