After the all blacks have been gifted an arm chair ride to the final it would be a massive choke if they lost
wallabies run to the final was brutal. Im not sure they have another big one left in them

Hard games are where you find out what your made of....we know what we can do :
Defend for 10 minutes on our own line with 13 men - Check
Slot kicks on the siren - Check
Beat more fancied opposition - Check
Beat NZ outside NZ - Check
Whats NZ done :
Just manged to hand on to the Bledisloe
Lost the Rugby Championship
Beat up a bunch of lesser lights (SA excluded)
Had a reasonably soft hitout against SA by the usual standard
If the Wallabies are one point down with 5 to go you know they can get the job done...NZ hasn't had to do that so who knows...plus the Refs won't let Richie lay all over tha ball and on current form Pocock will smash him at the breakdown
What do we know?
Auckland - last game smashed - hardly just hanging onto the Bledisloe 
check
Pocock - nullified - check
Australia weak for long periods of the game - Scotland, Argies and England. Check
Australia missed lots of first up tackles - check
Australia - passionate scrambling defence - check - dam.
Foley - can miss under pressure - check
Israel - injured - probably should not be playing - check
Scrum - looked shakey once more - check
Ref - no incorrect decisions re Scotland penalty at the death or Adam Ashely Cooper receiving forward pass to seal win - Nigel Owens lets the game run - check
Australia looked tired after 60 mins - check
ABs - can win ugly - something not always done in the past - check
ABs - composure - points and a man down at half time - check (Boks not lost whilst being in front at the break for a very very long time)
Richie - cleared to play - check
Dan - still the man - check. Took only his 7th Field goal in over 110 tests - great game reading ability - check
Weather - Rain or sunshine ABs adjust - check
Lineout - on fire - check
Crowd - check - did you hear the crowd in the last game? Seemed they had forgotten those Falkland Islands !!
Egg on face - nope - disappointed - yes
Will be a great game no matter what.
Sam is a giant - check
Ted making things up- check.
If the wallabies win it will be the greatest world cup victory ever.
They've really so many tough games to get there..
Its like ted did the cup draw

I love the fact that the media have been losing their nut over this photo.
Funny thing is that when you go and look at the player stats, he is smaller than his opposite number on our side - Kane Douglas.
Fish eye lens and Keys in a half squat position tricking peoples eyes.

Well he does look like he has just had a word with the Ref!
Some nice trick photography there. Glad to see you all brought into that but offered nothing in response to the facts. Cobra was always going to wage a debate with no substance but the rest of you should be ashamed

He’s definitely big at 114kg and 203cm, but Whitelock is lighter than both the Wallabies locks he’ll face in the World Cup final.Rob Simmons is 115kg and 200cm, and big bopper Kane Douglas has got 10kg on Whitelock, weighing in at 124kg and 198cm.
The combined weight of the Aussie forwards is 915kg while the Kiwis barely register on the scale at a combined 901kg.

And let's not forget the man mountain Skelton either. He is huge !
Fancy having to sit next to any of them of the team bus or flights...Lord knows how you would go at dinner, be easy enough to loose an errant hand and there sure a sh8te wouldn't be any leftovers !
