Great start for the wobs, but knew they'd open a door, and dropping that kick off was exactly that. Knock on to 7 points in moments.

Not sure how wallabies are pinged at scrum time when welsh props are on their knees for 5 Hail Marys, but I guess it keeps it interesting.

Thought that was pretty clear head on head, and incidental or not, it should still be a penalty as it's dangerous play by the cleanout...love some consistency in those calls...

I'm pretty one-eyed in this match, but felt like Wales weren't getting called for being off feet and using hands at the end there - that final penalty for me both Welsh guys on the ball just had hands on deck 'bridging' rather than actually trying to steal.

Anway, Wallabies really lost their way after that dropped kick off, had the opportunity to really twist the knife there, but instead are going to have quite the fight down the stretch. Looked great in first 20 (tbf wales looked turgid) and it seemed the wind changed direction when that kick off was dropped.

Still annoyed to not be there, but lil girl dog has gone into heat again, so glad to be home to save the couch (boy dog in sympathy nappy), so silver linings.

Kerevi gets headbutted at a ruck, scrum Wales. Kerevi makes dominant tackle with marginal incidental head contact, and we are talking about possible red card.

How the **** is a direct shoulder to Nic White's head a penalty only? and white is off with the injury from it...

 

[ripper868]

Love some consistency in the cards here.

He can keep giving ruck pens like that though...

Apologies to all, I'm a little ranty.

Rugby is a 14 man game am i right?

 

[ripper868]

I knew Wales were in trouble, but boy, 50 to a 14 man (for 20 mins) Wallaby side is not a good look.

Apologies again for my inane rantings. I've still not shaken the feeling that the Wallabies will let me down, even from a 20 point lead with 10 to play.

That Kerevi red card is such a bad call
