MotM vs Australia II

Yep, but what I think we are also seeing is not just tactics from players with those skills, but also a strategy to put BB in speed mis-matches by operating, for example, second man plays that open small gaps that most 10s couldn't take advantage of.

It's most noticeable when DMac subs onto the field and takes a lot of first receiver duties. Even BFA was doing it against the Wallabies last week.

I missed the game as my wife decided to go into labor - as a Wallabies supporter I guess from her perspective childbirth is less painful than watching them play the ABs so fair enough.
Have caught the highlights - geez we scored some great tries eh? Squire's was a thing of beauty, the angle he ran and the perfectly timed ball from BBBR. Orgasmic. Also loved how Moody lined up a couple of backs on their goalline and just smashed the fuck through them.
Great to see us put Beauden into some space as well, he's a very different player to Carter but fuck we can tear teams apart if we use him like we did last night.

Thanks guys, after finally getting the first one trained we've plunged ourselves back into chaos. Good times.

@mariner4life nah, our #2 was a breeze compared to that 1st spawn of satan (that actually arrived almost exactly 13 years ago...)

Not sure why @No-Quarter is getting all these Congrats posts. Like the rest of us dads he only had to contribute 5 mins of rooting to plant his seed while his mrs struggled for 9 months followed by something as comparitable as pushing a water melon through a garden hose

Our game plan has included our fullbacks going into 1st receiver, for some time now. Notice that Bender didn’t do it on the weekend but we saw Jordie in there a few times.
DMac late in the 2nd half.
Dagg was very good at it and could’ve been a revelation at 10, but Henry and Hansen obviously didn’t read my emails
