Best game in years, well done All Blacks but hats off to the Aussies for making us work hard for the win

[@MrAhuapai]

Key takeways from the game for me - a near loss at this stage of preparing for the RWC is much more valuable to the ABs progression than a blowout - if the Wallabies play with the level of cohesion and agression like they showd in the first half they will surprise a few teams in their side of the draw. - the level of relief from fans when Smith and then Mounga make the field says a lot about how valuable they are. Conversely not convinced about Smiths backup - Is Savea the most consistent player in world rugby - Dmac has had better days but his versatility will mean he gets to go -Unlike the Springboks ,the ABs now would be are pretty sure about their best 23. -

[@Cabolt44]

+ Smith isn't even our best number 9, that's actually TJ Perenara - but he's been hosed out by the NZRU for his very public stances on the LGBTQI+ community and Ihumātao. So instead we get the actual backup as our main (Aaron Smith), and the back ups, back up as back up (Christie). + The ref was actually abysmal, and helped a lot of the advantage for the Wallabies in that first half (typical French ref). Line out throws, scrums and breakdown plays - majority of which went to Australia in that first half. + Savea is basically the same consistency machine as what Richie McCaw was for the ABs. + DMac could only play what was in front of him - not helped by the poor go ahead by the forwards (like Taukei'aho and Laulala) + The "best 23" will actually have to change each game, since (being a World Cup), we don't know how conditions will change. + Red Card ruling will mess up a lot of teams. Reffing of today's calibre is going to be the norm - so navigating that (for all teams) will be key to RWC 2023.

Samipeni Finau surely booked his seat & Stephenson you'd think. That was a DMac behind a dominated pack in that first half, didn't really do himself any favors but suspect their in too deep with him now for him not to make it. Sam Whitelock was humongous.

[@lazer_kiw1]

Finau yes, Stevenson no. Stevenson's defense was poor especially 1st half. DMac will go to the WC but he probably played himself out of the 23.

​​@@lazer_kiw1agreed! 👍. Unfortunately defence was shocking from Stevenson & DMac. Not good enough to leave Telea, Clarke or Beaudie out. DMac's kicking wasn't up to par. He's not his usual unfortunately although I respect him as a player.

[@nathannukunuku4914]

Finau I think she's, don't think Steveson does... don't think he's really out she's any other outside back, maybe Clarke but he come off the bench last week well and we know fizzy loves him

That was a good game. For both nations really. we got through in the end but it was far from convincing man MacKenzie had a shocker

[@arrongoodwin3339]

DMc is an impact player, great pace off the mark with a tiring defence and can cover 10 and 15. He's not an international standard starting 10. Has to be in the 23

@@arrongoodwin3339 Not on that performance he doesn't.

[@arrongoodwin3339]

@@Carlo42 agree but go back to the point he should never be a starting 10

[@Carlo42]

@@arrongoodwin3339 I absolutely agree. Losing Richie after the RWC is going to hurt us, and Aaron Smith even more. We are weaker in those positions than we have been for a long time.

Genuinely a great game, Massive effort from the Wallabies to come back from last week to back themselves. When the opposition can have that same confidence in themselves like the All Blacks then anything is possible.

[@gekolizzard]

A wins a win. Kudos ABs.

Great to see the All Blacks new players.
