Review: Wallabies VS All Blacks Bledisloe Cup G1 2024 Sydney. Reactions, Analysis, Recap & Rant

[@mikecaroto5361]

Pure blood Bok supporter here, but sooo nice to see the Wallabies actually PLAYING rugby again! We miss you guys more than you realise. Australia must take heart from this performance even though the result didnt go your way. Well played AB's AND Wallabies

Great game by Wallabies from Bok supporter

I had written off Aus after the first half. It was so frustrating to watch. It was to a point where i was screaming at the ABs to smash these garbage Aussies. BUT boy, was i wrong!! By the 60th min, i was screaming COME ON WALLABIES! What a game!!! Well done, Nz, for the win, but Aussies can be proud!!✌🏿🇿🇦

Really good to see Aussies being competitive! ❤🇿🇦

You look a lot happier than 2 weeks ago. Glad the Wallabies could put a smile on your face. Too bad you came up short. But an awsome test match.

[@citedcanvas85]

I didnt expect the wallabies to come back so hard. Glad to see thay kinda fightback from them

[@ghostcrabman]

Bro, was thinking about you throughout the game. I thought it was epic. What a nail-biter! I hope you can carry that spirit across the Tasman for next Saturday.

[@pieterels5704]

The NZ rugby public still does not realize that the AB has been found out. Their dominance is over. They achieve dominance through moving the ball after quick recovery and because of this they was very well conditioned. Teams figured this out, up their teams conditioning and the AB c/a faded. In case of the Boks the better conditioning also came with their natural physicality and ability to play rugby - game over. The top 5/6 teams are now much closer and a win either way will trend in future.

[@jadenphilander8799]

​@@WhoAmEye187 What rebuild? Springboks were beating the ABs when they were on the rebuild in 2018, Springboks were beating the ABs in 2021 and best the B&I lions when they were on the rebuild...Springboks are in the rebuild currently and are evolving, trying things and experimenting...Springboks, Australia, All Blacks and Argentina are rebuilding...only the NH teams are not.

[@icojb25]

Great comment. Massive holes in the midfield, this week against a very average (but not bad) Aussie attack. Broken several times last week but some very average Boks attack that made quite a few unforced errors last week. I dont think people have cottoned on as to how exposed this team actually has been, and how 1) lucky they have been to trade on their past, and 2) managed to hide it and not get totally taken apart like at Twickenham last year and then a couple weeks ago by the Pumas. Their midfield is like a block of swiss cheese.

[@vinniechan]

I won't say their dominance has been found out They are transition The problem now is without the south Africans in SR they are missing someone who remind them there is a different way to play rugby

[@ryansimms31]

Firstly, huge shout out to the Wallabies for thier near comeback from 21-0 down, to just 3 points short. Also huge shout out to James Slipper reaching his 140th Wallabie test Cap! Above George Gregan (Former Wallaby) Secondly here are the players that played well tonight which were.... -Cortez Ratima -Ardie Savea -Will Jordan -TJ Paranara Thirdly, even though Sevu created that Ardie Savea try, I still think Sevu Reece played poorly once again, he needs to go. Lastly, this match was a game of 2 halves. All Blacks was dominating the Wallabies in the first half. But in the second half the All Blacks let thier guard down once again, inviting the Wallabies to catch up. With 3 tries disallowed, plenty of huge oppuntines blown, that we should had got. Also sloppy, loose throws again.

i think the ABs have some problems in camp. either not right player choice or not the right players... or something with the mix is not working. Australia is not in a good space(not to deminish their efforts. the team will grow and will be better as all southern hemisphere wants it to) and only winning by 3 is a shocker. Plus yet again that last 20min was a problem. Think Razor needs to make some major calls, need to mix it up a bit. Also no use of a bench if you dont dabble in using them... unless you dont have any trust in the bench. which comes back to my 1st point.. which is players selection or not right mix. those players should be interchangable at any given point

[@sakabula2357]

Razor loosing the change room?

[@FloatLikeABee]

Both teams played abysmal. From a neutral Australia doesn't look much better, NZ looked a whole lot worse. NZ have a real problem on the bench. The fact they they cant sub at 60 min with any meaningful impact is a huge problem for them and something they will have to address. NZ will be vulnerable to upsets for the next year or two.

[@sakabula2357]

Australia looked way better in this game compared to that Argentina game...the ABs left with more questions than answers... ABs going to have a tough end of year tour....

[@YeshuaisEMET]

I disagree, they took most of their opportunities, plus they were behind in the first half by 14 points to come back and nearly win alone is an improvement so I dnt understand your comment, where I do agree is AB is not doing any better.

[@YeshuaisEMET]

Austin did much much better than their win against ARG. Well done Aussie.

They have just lost the other 4 halves by extreme margins. They are not THAT far off. Reckon 2nd half of this game is best they have played. Onward and upward, from a saffa

🇿🇦 Woooohooohooohooohooo!!!!! The Wallabies had a blinder in the last 30. Had the ref bothered policing the offside line I believe you would have walked it with points to burn. Many of the errors were due to the Aussies' space being closed down illegally imo but congrats to ABs. I can honestly say that despite the errors I thoroughly enjoyed that game.

So much to take away from this as an Aussie. Great shapes, great running, great work retaining the ball, building phases, crash ball worked really well. Great great physicality. Critical turn overs from McReight. Obviously taking into account we're very fortunate for the errors from the ABs. Carl Dixon is a wild card.

AB's bench is rubbish. Proof is their inability to score in the last 20 minutes. No debth. Aus can be proud of their 2nd half display BUT caution to be exercised next week in NZ. You don't want a repeat of the 2nd game against Argentina

[@vitamingreen4815]

My man, the Wallabies, if they keep playing like that, without all the mistakes, are on their way back. The thing I noticed in the first half, though, was that the Wallaby players weren't spurring each other on. That was troublesome.

[@Chris_Rugby]

I think this was some Australian coaching genius. They've spotted that New Zealand struggle in the 2nd half, so they put some dynamite on the bench to come blow the half apart. Nearly worked!

[@annettekolb3103]

Hi wildcard, respect to the Wallabies coming back 28-14 to losing with 3 points. Point proven the kiwis just don't play 80min. Again zero point to kiwis in last 20min.

There are 3 games to go, and I'm leaning in the direction that there isn't that much distance between the three teams. As a Bok supporter, that gives me pause. No laurels to sit on yet.

[@icojb25]

Great game from the Wallabies. Big holes in the midfield the Aussies waltzed straight through. Kiwis unable to go the full 80 mins once again. Very easily exposed by a very normal Aussie midfield. The AB's were lucky not to get whacked even more in SA i think. There are big holes in their game at the moment and I think the general public has no idea how weak they have been over the last 12months. They have hidden it well and been very lucky to have traded on their past record. No doubt they are working hard to close those holes asap though ... gutted for the Wallabies not to clinch it in the end.

A lot points to an AB S&C issue . Second test will be interesting… Schmidt has nothing to lose … the other side ?

[@kylelouer4323]

Another tale of two games/two teams from the AB’s. First half they were just picking on Aus. By half time I thought they had a 50 point win. But once again, something happens within the team and they are not capable of creating or stopping the opposition. Satiti was excellent, ratima also very good. Caleb was very good, will jordan played better at 15. Man idk what’s going on here. On the other hand, the back row for Aus is very good. Frazier is incredible, like really fucking good man, big rob did big rob things, and Harry is a genuine 8 that the wallabies need. Nick white might be the biggest baby in world rugby lol he always looks like the AB’s get right under his skin within minutes of the game. Aus show again, they desperately want that trophy back, they just don’t go away against the AB’s, it really got good there at the end. Thought the Aus commentators were a bit kiwi in their approach to blame the ref. Didn’t think he had a great game but it wasn’t bad imo

[@roleinc7204]

ABs fan here. Glad that the Wallabies fought back so hard. A drumming today would have been good for neither side. NZ Rugby needs our closest rugby rivals to re-emerge as a rugby power house. And I don't think Razor has the team right yet. Having a false confirmation today that we have got it right with a blow out win was not what the ABs needed either. We scraped away with a victory: cool. But there is a long way to go until we arrive at the place the team needs to be. The whole reshuffle the backline with the bench is clearly not working. That's easily our biggest issue at the moment. So in summary, very happy for our ANZAC brothers for their grit and belief shown, and happy things didn't go all our way today as well while edging out a victory.

[@mannyc4123]

Soooo close. Yes, NZ don't like getting too physical.

[@axxey]

Once again Razor not using his bench constructively, Lomax walking for 20 mins again, then everyone looking at the bad last 20minutes and ignoring losing the 40-60 minute period. TJ with good defence, so was Ratima before he was replaced. Not quite sure what NZ defence was doing in the short channel all game. I don't like the rules about not touching the 9 in the field as well, there's going to be more and more abusing perception of it, people shouldering into the maul unbound but then being the "untouchable halfback" as soon as someone grabs them. That lineout stat is 100% wrong, at LEAST 4 lineouts lost by Codie Taylor. Maybe that stat is only lineouts lost to a contesting jumper.

[@byrongoldberg7766]

This was a super rugby game, glad to see a turn around for Aus, routing for them. But this game even though was close in the end really lacked intensity and defense. So open, so many offloads and running and really boring. A lower scoring more intense game with less running is ironically suprisingly far more entertaining.

"how do you make the game less contest" It's nothing to do with big bill There has been a narrative over the yrs to make the game less technical to appeal to the casual fans A big part of that came from NZ and Auss that favours a more open style of running rugby and try to tilt the game that way I personally hate it but the monstrosity in scrum is an accumulation if tweaks in that direction We should all follow the French example and make better effort to explain the more intricate part of the game to the new audience instead of dumbing it down If ppl can't be bothered to make an effort to understand the game we just need to admit they aren't the targeted audience
