Sam Bruce and Christy Doran reflect on some misplaced optimism as they pick apart the All Blacks crushing victory in Bledisloe I. They look at where it went wrong for the Wallabies -- including one key moment after halftime -- how New Zealand turned their Springboks blueprint against them, and dominated the key fundamentals of rugby. They also lament the Test match's timing, look ahead to Game II in Sydney, and ponder what changes Australia can and should make. They also discuss Rob Valetini's hip-drop tackle, and why it went unsanctioned, before turning their attention to the stalled CBA negotiations and the Australia A squad named to tour the U.S.
