Test match 2018 NZ AUS

[ManEagle]

I think fatigue, and the old school football it produces, is actually one of the real strengths of the women's game. The SOO match was a great example of that but I think that 80 mins had too many players with absolutely nothing left and it lowered the overall intensity. I have no doubt they will get there, just not quite yet.

I have to agree, as much as I like the fatigue in the game and the effect that has on the play, think back to the GF and and games in the mud of yesteryear, with some of the footy of the ages being played, the 80 minutes for the women at this stage seems just a tad bit more at present, but not by much only 5 minutes or so..

Don't forget about the smoking!
I think there are a few, with full time jobs in RL and/or fitness, who are already capable of playing for the full 80 and it wont be long before many more get to that standard.

The crowd looks poor

Silent protest by Latrell Mitchell not singing the anthem. Didn't really look that interested. Hope not

Dead set, Kevin Proctor looks like he unscrewed the mop and put it on his head

Smoking drinking and footy, sounds like our team today but with no attitude !!!

Until most get up to standard, having just a few tips the scales out of balance but your right won't be long and I hope they continue...hang on Haka is on

Is the weather bad there, this has to be the worst crowd for a test match in NZ against Australia ?

Klein looks like he's gunna referee the soccer...

The lowest recorded test attendance between New Zealand and Australia was 5,394 at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on 4 July 1953.

The highest of course was the 74,468 for the 2013 World Cup Final at Old Trafford which is also the largest ever rugby league test attendance.

NZ media were reporting that the Kiwi v Tonga is a sellout but no one was getting excited about this game

Such a soft try, Kiwi's could get a flogging here

Are the All blacks playing somewhere ? why is the crowd so bad

Just a bit more....

The largest test attendance between the Kiwis and Kangaroos at Mt Smart was 22,994 for the first test of the 1993 series which was drawn 14-14.

This is the 7th Trans-Tasman Test at Mt Smart since the first one in 1989. Its currently 3-2 to the Kangaroos with one draw. Every test has included at least one current Manly player in the Australian side.

No other major events on tonight. Fans just disillusioned from our World Cup shambles unfortunately.

Keary lasted 16 minutes and won't remember a thing

So good to have only 1 Ref

 

[HoldenV8]

That's the end for Keary. Not a debut he's going to remember fondly even if we win. That's if he remembers it at all.
