"Needed" it more than "deserved" it IMO
Massively entertaining match but both teams made horrible **** ups at vital stages
I'll take it though

It is donald after all.
Great match though it seemed that both teams never hit their peak at the same time...Australia dominating the first 20, the AB's the next 40, bit of middling in the next 19 and then the wallabies owning the final 1.
Pity it wasn't the World Cup final.

Think of it this way: In the AFL they give a trophy to the team who wins the most home and away games. In other words, they give a trophy to the team that finished on top of the ladder.
But then they give a trophy to the team that actually wins the Grand Final. It's like a trophy within a trophy.
What Australia did was the equivalent of winning the Grand Final trophy of the AFL.
Except that none of the fans cared about the prize on offer.

You mean a Minor Premiership?
Australia won a marketing puff piece...that is all.
Good to see the crowd for the Wallabies vs NZ in Hong Kong was larger than the crowd at Aus vs England in melbourne...score one to the good guys.

Volty, for you, coutesy of Green and Gold Rugby:
There was movement on the sidelines, for the word had got around
Replacement fly-half Stephen Donald was soon to take the ground
The game was all-but over, the Darkness held the lead
The Wallabies were clearly shagged, it was time to about concede.
The Men-in-Gold were down by 12 and it had all been seen before
Sookface had just come on, as Gits was shown the door.
But just when all seemed hopeless and the only outcome was defeat
The Man from Waiuku River rose ungainly to his feet.
His warm-up on the sideline was something of a farce
He’s not very good at kicking, and he can hardly ****ing pass
When Smug Ted dragged Dan Carter, ‘cause his ankle was near shot
The look on Richie’s face said “Ol’ Ted’s lost the ****ing plot”
For DC on one leg is a better bet than Waiuku River’s two
Anyone who’d seen him butcher things for Mooloo, knew what he would do
So the Man from Waiuku River did stumble on into the line
And it was only seconds later, the sun began to shine
Gilbert ran the Gilbert with style, poise and grace
He timed a sweet ball to Shmoo, who had far too much pace
It was 24-19 as the conversion sailed over from near the 3rd row
Rocky gathered the boys’ round “With Donald on lads, we’ve got a ****ing show!”
On the Man from Waiuku River did bungle, not stopping to draw breath
He even had a chance at a penalty goal to win it at the death.
But for those who know him best, it was always going to shank
He’s just so God-damn gawky; he’s like a ****ing plank.
But still our Man kept plodding, he wasn’t done with yet
There was still one more balls-up, as bad as it could get
For the Man from Waiuku River, again had the ball in his hands
And to win the game he had to only kick it to the stands
But alas he stuffed the kick and downfield the ball did soar
You could almost hear JOC shout “**** me dead, I reckon I’m gonna score!”
And so he did just that, young JOC was now the hero
On the other side The Man from Waiuku River, a freshly minted zero
The Wallabies went wild, and the crowd they pissed it up
“Stick the 10 straight up your arse”, they screamed – they even won a Cup
And down by Waiuku Riverside, where the youngsters dream of greatness
They should remember their Stephen Donald, is completely ****ing hopeless

A good result in Honkers, but it has to be said Quade Cooper is a turnstyle in defence.
It also has to be said that the way the commentators went on after the Wallabies won was a disgrace. An absolute embarrasment. "Bring on the World Cup" they're screaming, as Australia score after the siren in a dead rubber on neutral territory to win for the first time in eleven games vs NZ, in a match where neither side had played any footy for six weeks.
It was disgraceful.

Yeah and nah.
I'd be pretty happy too if I'd just broken a 10 game losing streak against the best in the world. (assuming this was the fox feed). I may think they are dickheads at times but it's refreshing to have blokes who give a stuff about the result in the box, and not just turning out cliche after cliche.
That Said, Coopers beahvior toward McCaw was ****. Kid needs a good clip round the ears.

In terms of entertainment and passion in commentary thats actually seems genuine (Justin Marshall's excitement seems too fake to really enjoy) the Australian commentary team is easily the best IMO. I do like Tony Johnson but prefer him as a sideline commentator than the main role like he had in Hong Kong, but otherwise I'd probably listen to the Australian team if I had a choice.Always liked the Australian commentators. Sure they can be biased but we're hardly any better, and the Aussie comms. are more interesting.
Have I just betrayed my country?

I'll be in that; fancy the Micks to turn the yarps over as it goes.

And boosted by the return of BOD as well. Should be a good game.
Looking forward to see how the Welsh and English go against the running styles of the Wobblies and AB's.
Wondering if the tactics from England will be to knock on at every opportunity to force a scrum.

Saffies will belt them - theyre better at the boring stuff and will bash the NH sides every day of the week and twice on Sundays
Only risk are the Wallabies who are likely to revert to type

Aside from Ireland having won their last three meetings and the Boks having no Burger, absolutely.
