Australia v New Zealand, 8 August

First topic message reminder :

Surprised there's no thread yet ...

Just started watching - did anyone else think the Oz no. 10 was tap tackled without the ball as he broke through with nobody in front of him just before the ABs got the penalty for diving on the player on the ground? Unlucky for Oz if I saw it right.

We seem to have wandered a little from the original subject matter, so here is a separate thread for anyone who wants to talk about the Bledisloe Cup decider at the weekend:

Wales only have themselves to blame they were ranked 9th when the draw took place mainly due to their inability to beat the big 3 & in particular 7 straight losses against Australia.
The same weekend when Wales lost to Oz again England beat NZ.

Interestingly, to me anyway, another potential combination could have been

NZ,Ireland,Wales just as tasty
I wonder if it would have been possible for a pool to include England, Ireland, and Wales.
These boards, likely the entire internet, and possibly the entire world, would explode into tiny bits of poop.
I almost wish it happened.

Didnt Wales lose to Japan and that was what send them down the rankings?

I think that was the following Summer in 2013 Guns.
Wales had a bad Autumn 2012 losing all 4 games Argentina,Samoa,Oz & NZ.
The draw was Dec 2012.
