Bledisloe Three: Sydney, 31 October

Half-time thoughts
AB's very controlled. Very few mistakes in general play and very physical at breakdown. Ball retention has been outstanding. Defence is vicious at times. Both JG & ALB dominating in midfield. 6/7/8 really look a unit.
Close call between ALB & Ritche as to best in Black, for me. Caleb Clarke has a pretty good all round game - some good touches in defence.
Wobbles seem unable to string things together and their kicking has been woeful. Inexperience is showing I think. Could get ugly if there's a repeat of the 1st half, but we've been here before...

@Anonymous did they win the last 3N?
Guess it us a new 3N trophy?

Ok, so usually we go off the boil from here. Aus grit makes a bit of a stalemate before we stroll over the line good with a couple of late tries but a little underwhelming second half.
Can Fozzies team get another 4 tries and keep the foot on?
That'd be something of an improvement
-
For mine Coles has been top notch today

I wonder if that attitude will change with Foster? We shall see.

I wonder when he empties the bench 50 or 60m you reckon?

Welp the next gen appear to be as bad as the last. Gunna be a looong decade. If we make it that far.
Its taken Richie 15-20 odd tests to start showing his class at test level.
Lolesio needs time.

Everything is going well except for the scrum. We should be ahead by 40, really. Unfortunate combination for the Wallabies of us playing well and their flaws being exposed badly.
Inexperience too. Their whole backline except for White and DNP have made errors and panicked.
Our pressure has been very good and we are making all the play.
I’m usually not a huge fan of this ref, but I do like how he’s called the breakdown. He’s at least allowed a contest and for the attacking ball carrier to place the ball.

Bring laumape on , reiko for jordie , and let’s score a zillion tries

Nice hit from Frizell on their no8 to start the 2nd half
