Why are we looking for penalties like that there, not given sure, but why did play need to stop for nothing at all.

The silly chip kicks are creeping in now...wallabies looked much better just holding the ball.

Especially as our 10 is not a renowned kicker in general play

Hopefully hold it more 2nd half, try and give guys like Flook, Wright and Daugunu a chance in space.

Think this game either really opens up in the last 20, or becomes super scrappy...given the weather, I'm backing scrappy.

tbf, Wales are offside a lot but you do have to play to the whistle

For our Kiwi friends, how close is Harry Plummer to getting a call up?

Saw him play for the schoolboys years ago & he looked like a world beater and has just won a SR title with the Blues

Oh no, I meant the low clear out where they stopped to look at the screen.

First upset you could say of the weekend, Japan getting up over the Maori. Well done to them.

Finally some running onto the ball, one heck of a slide into 3rd Base for Daugunu.

Even though one of them just scored, I get the impression that our 2 wingers lack a bit of toe

Never should have been caught there and Kellaway isn’t quick either

 

[ripper868]

I'm just happy he came off his wing looking for some work, need to do it more.

 

[ripper868]

Surely simple hands instead of kick pass was the option there.

Tom Wright turns on his best Kurtley Beale impression. Great run.

Give Lynagh the 10 jersey, even if it's just to kick goals.

Epic try from Wright wasn't it, great vision.

Fantastic to see a crowd of 35,000 also, Aussies still love their rugby.

@Burgey 's town really likes its rugby union

Joe Schmidt, wallabies most successful coach in history (percentage win wise)

Wallabies generally get a crowd in Sydney & Brisbane

Super Rugby is dead and just waiting to be buried

Of course, the stadium is in the silver spoon suburbs so of course the toffs turned out for their champagne and caviar /burgey

(Sorry mate )

As well as McKenzie played tonight and his season generally, I think he's a better impact player myself.

I would have liked to see Plummer invested in, in the leadup to the next WC. It may still happen, who knows, but I doubt it somehow.

You would think he's the next go to after McKenzie and Barrett.

Such a shame isn't it. It was a great competition when South Africa and Argentina were involved.
