I'm an Aussie so of course I'm cheering for the Wallabies. But man! I love watching the All Blacks play. Best in world. Skill is off the charts. A pleasure to watch.

[@TheGazavman]

I don't like the color of their shirt...

[@NuXta]

@@TheGazavman Yeah it's terrible that the All Blacks wear black shirts eh

[@helzleota]

Love Aaron Smith🙌🏽his energy is something else

[@chrisrees2493]

Thank God we live in this country, and all woke up this morning, and still and will always love our All Blacks

[@raoulbenaiah8511]

Australia did well in this game! Congratulations for the all blacks they deserve it.

[@peterdaly6173]

3 Ozzie tries in the last 12 mins of game time... credit given where credit is due, they didn't give up.

[@AgentMoray]

Yeah the ABs fell off. That should worry their coaches, I can't remember when last I saw ABs not dominate the final quarter.

Weird to show the ABs' disallowed try being scored but not show it being disallowed...

It was obvious it was a forward pass.

Great nudge by Lolesio for Banks. Also,great work by Banks on the chase and the skill to keep it on the toe and finish. Lovely try

[@nepiahemopo1702]

I enjoyed the era when the Ella brothers played for the Wallabies. They were a great side back then. Of course, they have had winning sides following but I liked the Ella era more. AB fan.

[@douglaswright2143]

Yeah mate, they changed rugby. I remember watching the Wallabies against Wales in the early 80s, and was amazed by the pace they brought and the size of their backs. I think the world would welcome a resurgence in Australian rugby.

[@nepiahemopo1702]

[@thefobbieii2888]

Greatest backline ever! Ella, Hawker, O'Connor, Martin, Moon and Gould. That AB forward pack dominated the Wallabies by about 65% of the ball - one of the greatest forward packs ever but that backline was to slick! Eric Watson had the AB backline passing a brick for passing training before the 2nd test - what a joke! Could not believe Watson over-looked Bruce Robertson for Tim Twigden at centre who played on the wing for Auckland then flew Robertson over for the 2nd test at Ballymore!! Mind you the ABs had missing in the backline Bill Osbourne, Bruce Robertson (for the 1st test), I think Stu WIlson, Bernie Fraser and maybe Doug Rollerson!

[@mred9361]

One of the all time great All Black tries ended up a non try. Shame about the forward pass.

[@douglaswright2143]

It was a brilliant move, the kind of move when you want a French ref who weighs up whether they had an advantage from the forward pass, and decides they didn't. Lets face it, what is considered the greatest try of all time included at least one forward pass (Barbarians v ABs)

[@douglaswright2143]

Please, please, please, let's have refs who apply the spirit of the laws and have responsibility for the spirit rather than the letter of the law, because otherwise we have indecent human beings who drive a tank through through loopholes and we end up with the Lions series v SA.

[@alexlaws1530]

The full tragedy is that the forward pass was slight enough that most of us didn't see the ball go forward when it happened, but it was so clear on TMO that we have also been robbed of the right to whinge about a bad call hahaha.

[@douglaswright2143]

@@alexlaws1530 Yeah, it was forward, but nothing like as forward as France v NZ. I'd like to ditch TMO, accept mistakes, and if they are close, veer towards the defensive team, and get back to respect for referees as the only arbiters of fact. It won't happen, but it should! Anyway, loads of respect to true rugby fans like you!

[@douglaswright2143]

@@alexlaws1530 I'm assuming you are a Kiwi, I'm a Scot who was unfortunate enough to grow up in England. The Scots have modelled their game on NZ since the mid 80s. Unfortunately our islanders are not as powerful as yours! I would lie to think there is a Scottish influence within NZ rugby, but I may be overplaying our influence. The bottom line is that NZ are head and shoulders above the rest of the world, have strong values and represent everything that is good in the game. I hope your glory continues for many years, because it only makes you more humble.

[@kitbakz2483]

If the line out rules in Wikipedia are still current then I think the Kelloway try is a no try because Hunter who got the ball from the hooker throwing into a line out was well inside the 10.

I don’t personally think the throw was straight anyways, so it shouldn’t have been

[@AMS-1]

Far from a polished dominant performance in my eyes. Aus should have won but their 10 threw away 15 points. You just can't do that against the All Blacks. I know a win is a win but lets be honest it could have been different if all the point available were taken. None the less I'm glad Aus put up a fight.

[@freelancerconverse4413]

Earlier tests vs the islands was a running warm up. As far as I’m concerned this was the first test of the season for the ABs which are always a scrappy event. ABs will only improve.

The state of editing on rugby videos is in a bad place. People want to see more than one/two phases at a time and there's not really a need to show replays of kicks going over unless there's controversy. It's not going to affect the number of people paying to watch games live by putting out highlights of a better quality than this.
