Well, from 21-0 down, I didn't expect to lose by 3. A few dud calls against as well, not sure how Perenara isn't penalised for a headlock on Paisami with that last run, or how it's ever a maul, but yeah.
Nz deserve the win, Wallabies turned up eventually, felt like the ABs took the foot off the throat though.

They haven't scored in the final quarter all tournament which is terrible. They got real problems atm
Anyway Australia with the all important bonus point.

Hard for Lolesio to do much when the pack (and entire team) was blown away in that first 10 minutes, but the moment for me was when there was a loose ball, Lolesio was nearest to it, and just kept looking at it for 2-3 seconds instead of diving on it - you can't wait for someone else to make the 'sacrifice' at this level, if its you, its you, regardless of the number on your back - it felt like he didn't have his head in the game, and has kinda looked like that every test this year. Another time we had 14 or something phases of forward runners off rucks, going one side to the other - Noah didn't touch the ball once - the 10 has got to take command there an step up. He looked better in the last 20, but was very noticably absent for the most part. My old man mentioned he was the only one gathering high kicks...I retorted that's because he got hidden in defence, and if his name was Quade he wouldn't get away with it.
Anyway, after losing to Argentina by 45 last time out, I'll take a 3 point loss and keeping them tryless for a half.

Absolutely terrible from NZ.
The McKenzie experiment hasn't worked, and I don't think Scott Barrett should be captain. With Vaa'i, Darry, and Holland (when eligible) he'll soon struggle to make the 15.
Sititi is a gun though and our depth at 9 is fantastic, so give TJ a farewell test in Wellington.

Argentina can’t just repeat those same little errors that would be let go by the wallabies
