The last turn over on the Wallabies line was a penalty to the AB's Lalakai was on his knees when he entered to steal.He didn't support his weight. Even the Aussie commentators questioned that steal.Jordie had his knee on the ground when he was tackle in the midfield.The ball was turned over but no signs of release.Should I mention the Marika no arms tackle on Caleb?

penalty awarded at 78:24.... about 30s of celebrations, during which the ref tells Foley to kick it on more than one occasion. Then he stops the clock, tells Foley to kick it once he calls time back on, yet Foley still fafs about. This is the correct call Mr Raynal. Well done and I hope more refs follow this example, especially during the dying moments of a game.

From the moment the ref says 'time on' to the moment Foley is penalized, only 7 seconds have passed on the game clock. Everything before that is 'time off'. For such a crucial decision like that, which obviously was going to give the all blacks a free win, you would think the ref would be screaming in Foley's ear demanding he kick it out and making it obvious for everyone to see. That penalty single-handedly cost the Wallabies the Bledisloe Cup, so you would think a little bit more care and clarity would've been put into that decision.

[@nialldaly9176]

Neutral (Irish) fan here. Regardless of the ref’s call, in that last play, the Wallabies had 3 defenders up against 2 NZ attackers, and still managed to concede the try. Two of them double-tackled Jordan poorly and didn’t stop the offload, while Koribete also defends poorly by stepping in too much on Barrett, clearly not trusting his inside defenders (tbf they showed him why he shouldn’t). They should look in the mirror before complaining soccer-style to the ref that he’s cost them the Rugby Championship. Also, Foley’s offload for one of their tries was laughably forward, while D’arcy Swain should have seen red and should receive a decent ban. On balance, the ABs deserved the win in my opinion. To gratuitously throw in a grenade to finish, I hope referees penalise time wasting much more going forward, throughout a match. Certain un-named teams who play a big forward-oriented style benefit from slowing things down with water breaks, players taking a knee, etc. to allow their big boys to recover. I much prefer the running rugby on display today! [EDIT: This seems to have unleashed the classic debate about Ireland’s performances in the RWC. I accept Ireland’s record is pretty abysmal, and that they could well slip back down the rankings, but I don’t see how that refutes anything in my original comment.]

First five-eighth is seeming like a cursed position for Australia lately. They haven't settled on a 10 in a long time. Noah Lolesio gets blooded in a must-win game against NZ at Eden Park - almost a blood sacrifice to the NZ rugby gods. Wallabies lose by 30-odd. Welcome to test rugby, brah! Then Quade Cooper comes back from the dead and actually plays really well, until he suffers a season-ending injury. So Foley also comes back from the dead (after it's decided that James O'Connor is not the guy for the job), plays like a champion and nearly wins it for them, only to commit harakiri in the most laughable fashion by cynically winding down the clock with seconds remaining. And the biggest joke of all was that he could've just kicked it out and had the team jog leisurely up to the lineout, which they had the throw-in for. He got greedy, blatantly ignored the ref telling him to get a move on, and paid the ultimate price. That's kinda hilarious, if you ask me. I'm reminded of that Aesop fable about the dog with the steak in his mouth who sees his reflection in the lake, and thinks it's another dog with a steak. He thinks he will take that steak from that dog, then he'll have two! So he opens his mouth to snatch the non-existent steak, dropping the real steak in the lake in the process, never to be seen again. Foley was that dog. He had the steak in his mouth, got greedy, and f*%ked the whole thing up.

18:11 this young ALL BLACK team needed this moment. For too long the comebacks and miracles and clutch plays by Richie McCaw and the ALL BLACKS to take games from the brink of defeat was the hallmark of that era of McCaw/Carter ... these legends of the McCaw's, the Carters, the Kainos, the Reads, the Rokocoko'ss and the Sivivatu's and the Conrads and the Nonu's were the ones who with their leaderships lead by the iconic Captain Richie McCaw would storm back and take teams to pieces as they would gather their straps and dominate the final 10-15 minutes of a game. These young bloods of the Mo'unga,s and the Barrett's and the Ioane's were merely the benefactors of those iconic dominance ... when those icons moved on, these young guys had to know what it was like to lead a charge and to take the clutch ... this moment at the 18:11 minute showed they are now becoming that which made the era of McCaw the most dominant of any era in the history of Rugby.

Almost as if they got a tip off saying "you're allowed to play this way". Ref made poor decisions all over the field against the all blacks, terrible game to watch.

Sounds like you are making excuses for New Zealand being ordinary again. It's why they have lost to France, Ireland, South Africa and Argentina over the last 12 months. No one fears them any more. The only reason they won aside from the referee, was scoring whilst Australia was down players. New Zealand had two tries that shouldn't have been awarded - go watch the replays. Also, it's not "classic self-destruction", because as far as I know, Australia hasn't ever been penalised for "time wasting" (which NZ did in this match as well). The Australians were the better team, and if we can play like that again, we will beat this new weakened version of the All Blacks.

final penalty awarded to aus at 78:27. Fast forward 30 seconds of celebrating by the wallabies (78:57), the ref (righfully so) warns the wallabies and calls time off - you need to kick the ball - stop wasting time (professional foul - running down the clock). foley continues to muck around for another 6 seconds (79:03) and to his credit, finally looks like he is about to kick (after screams from his own back-line to kick the ball out) but by then the ref has had enough. he wants a fair game and is fed up with the anti-competitive nature of the wallabies, and calls for a free kick to the AB's. this has tinges of the infamous underarm bowl by the Australian cricket team. i was also less than impressed with the wallaby forward who was trying to milk the penalty for being lifted after being cleared out. it was incredibly soft and not past 90. i agree with the ref on this call, but the milking by the Wallaby leaves a sour taste in my mouth, as it should for anyone who appreciates competitive sport. also, the deliberate malicious knee injury on Quinn Tupea was so horrible, and a really poor reflection on the wallabies. lucky to only get a yellow for that.
