If I'm Dave rennie our first try is the one that pisses me off the most.

Decent but not outstanding maul, simple phase to the posts and then switch back. Same as every other team in the world does. And we have a 4 on 1 overlap? That's appalling

It was still a sweet pass from Smith to execute and take advantage of the overlap, that Karl T almost stuffed mind you.

I think we are still in building mode. Three tests in and we are basically relying on our defence as combinations build, particularly in the backs.

This house is taking a fucken long time to build

@chimoaus I hear the basement of that house is complete and a couple of large kegs of dry powder have been found therein

Fuck Patty had a big night 0 Tackles, 2 ball carries for 3 metres gained. Fuck look at Whitelock, 3 turnovers and 13 ball carries.

@chimoaus just beaten by beaudy ones run of one metre

[chimoaus]

I see Daugunu conceded 5 turnovers, conceded 2 penalties, yellow card and missed a tackle. That is about as bad a game as one can have.

@Daffy-Jaffy interesting. He speaks surprisingly well...

[Chris B.]

@ACT-Crusader Is it just me or is ESPN's Lineouts won stat pretty bloody meaningless?

Would be a bit more interesting if they credited the jumper.

ESPN count the thrower not the receiver, hence three ABs recorded a “lineout won” - Coles, Taylor, Mo’unga.

Agree with @Chris-B it’s a pretty useless stat

[chimoaus]

@Daffy-Jaffy TJ almost seemed a bit flat, he warmed up towards the end, but he was pretty dead pan which is unusual for him.

[taniwharugby]

looking at the stats, it should have been closer

It's not just the errors, it is where they occurred on the field.

[taniwharugby]

@NTA yeah I know stats dont always tell the story.
