The Wallabies: World Champions for One Saturday
They're doing it again.
The All Blacks are throwing the ball around like it's a training session. Half their passes shouldn't even be attempted.
But nobody's getting in their faces.
Where's the Wallabies’ line speed? Where's the bloke who wants to put someone on his backside?
Two weeks ago they were smashing Springboks backwards, fighting for every loose ball like their lives depended on it.
Today?
Bloody hell. They look like 15 blokes who won a competition to meet their childhood heroes.
They're not defending against the All Blacks.
They're watching them play rugby.
And the worst part? All Blacks are making mistakes. Plenty of them. Wallabies are just giving them enough time and space to fix their mistakes.
Maybe that's the problem.
Wallabies don't lack the ability to play Test rugby.
They just seem to lack the ability to play it two Saturdays in a row.

Razor was too honest & had too much pride to beg referees through the media to atrempt neutralisation of an opposition point of dominamce
In other words, he wasn't a big enough cheat for AB coaching standards

Meatusx correctly identifies that the argument relies on interpretation, not a plain “the law says X, therefore illegal” reading.
A short, safe window to lower a heavy 125kg player during a dynamic restart satisfies the rule’s intent.
The play was an outstanding display of strength, not a rules breach which is why officials let it go and fans (rightly) celebrated it.
Gibson_XL overreaches by treating a contextual, safety-qualified phrase as an absolute prohibition.
Rugby rewards power executed within the laws’ spirit; this one stayed on the right side.

QUESTION: Why was MSNBC filming Trump on his golf course moments before he was shot? How did they know to be there? Who told them? Remember, CNN hadn't covered a Trump rally live until the Butler Rally. Is it weird left-wing media seems to be there every time?

‘Wyd kant’ or ‘wit kant’, I reckon it’s one of those two. (White/wide side).
It could be a trigger call on defence and Bongi Mbonambi shouts it more than once.
This is best audio of the incident I’ve seen/heard.

What they don’t want you to see:
The last scrum where the ref gave a penalty to SA from which Pollard kicked the winning points... #ENGvSA
