Strange match. For most of the match we were in complete control, but congrats to England for the comeback.

Have the Blacks ever not won a game being up 19 with less than 10 to play? Indeed full credit to England for the comeback though.

So close for the Wallies....but again yet so far.

For the Wallies, that is a win

Jeez, that's just so wrong.

Jeez, that's just so wrong.

That's terrible he received that.
Either there are some stupid mods on Facebook, or their settings need to be modified. Hope they can resolve it quickly.

Good to see Folau Faingaa still can't throw a lineout. Surely there's a 20 year old gap student in a walkabout style ar that could of played #2 this weekend?

 

[ripper868]

Wallabies look like a team with one foot on the plane home already, Wales could put up 50 here.

 

[ripper868]

Wee bit of character being shown here, discipline still atrocious, but some hope on show with Nawanataqwase showing some quality. looked alot more dangerous with McDermott and Lolesio on.

How the turn tables, big final 6 minutes this.

 

[BoyBrumby]

This would be a choke for the ages. TBF yer Leekists have form for conceding late winners this weekend already...

 

[ripper868]

Holy mother wowowowowow wewweewwaaa

 

[ripper868]

course the wallabies can give an opportunity like this....

 

[ripper868]

Longeran you beauty

 

[ripper868]

Some try that by the Bokke, Arundse step is unfair.

 

[Heboric]

Well done boys, did it the hard way with 14 men

Fair play to the Saffers. Better team won and it could've been much worse if they didn't play the last quarter a man down.

As for us, yuk. Going to crap very rapidly and no clear route out of the brown stuff.

I mean, dropping Jonny Hill forever and giving up this weird fetish for playing career locks on the blindside that Eddie's developed would help, but creatively we look bereft.

Smith and Farrell isn't working and when Owenaro shanks two easy pens it might be time to move on from Wigan's worst tackler.

That's a brilliant comeback from the Wallabies 21 down with the clock to fight as well. Great teams just know how to win even when the chips are down.

That's true. Which is why no one knows how the wallabies did it.

Make no mistake, this isn't a great wallabies team, but it's nice to see something from them before the next WC. think Gleeson has great potential tbh, impressed by most of the bench tbh, Longeran particularly (happy to admit I'm not a Fa'aiigna fan)

No idea how Eddie still has the job

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Eddie Jones has been sacked. No idea if that's good, bad or ugly.
