Patty T might have some fitness issues. Still think our 6 is reactive rather than proactive
yeah Patty not yet carryign his Superform over, hopefully just getting into his work as he was better in the 2nd 40
Frizell, really not sold on him, so hot and cold

Why don’t clock. We need a specialist. That’s a the advantage of having a specialist. It was great. BB stepped up to the plate. If you have that much talent you’ve got to be involved. WTF. Now we have to go to Oz. Hey the Ozzie are are still a work in progress. I’m still more concerned about the boM and their forward pack and England and their forward pack. That will be the measure of us.

@broughie no doubt but it needs time. Both sides rusty last week, of which we took advantage. ABs brought back the right guy - Beauden - and came with a little more intensity
Initially but I think he was silent in the second half.

assume you mean Bok? But cant play them if they are
scared
arent playing in AUs this year, nor England. -
I just mused this on the social medias:
If "failing to score from within 5m" and "pointless flick pass instead of going to deck" were KPIs, the Wallabies would have their maximum bonus.
The issue for Rennie the next fortnight is - if you get booted for not doing your job - how many can he reasonably expect to boot?
I'm not as disappointed as I could be, given I expected to lose, but it is ample demonstration that the players haven't yet broken the shackles of brainfart play. The young players throwing flick passes instead of better options - that needs to be tempered.
A couple of individuals weren't up to scratch today and when it is strike weapons like Koroibete it hurts.

I think it is more that his injection was less necessary once you were two tries up.

@taniwharugby fuck you. Are you an English teacher? You know what I mean. I’m slightly drunk but go with the flow bro ??? Trying to text with your thumbs is difficult.

@taniwharugby I thought Patty was OK personally. Did a lot of work in the tight. Yeah he looked to be struggling towards the end but it was a very high paced game so he did well to go the 80.

@broughie well I did say I assume, plus I have had a litre of 8.5% cider!!
@African-Monkey thought he was much better in the 2nd half, much more dominant

Was one of the few starting to struggle with tight calves I think. Good work rate, just a couple of knocks that blemished his game.

Lets kick it to Caleb Clarke in midfield with a 30 metre run up.
Sums up the performance. Couldnt make a tackle or catch a ball to save their lives.
We were way more physical this week, so you see that put you guys under more pressure. Be interesting to see how they adjust to that back home, still look a way better team than the last few years.
