Wallabies v France 2
-
France building some depth when you realise that forward pack wasn't their 6N team. The backline would run better with Dupont, Jalibert and Fickou too.

First win for 31 years in Australia unbelievable
When the commentators (over)use of the “famous victory” actually means something tonight…

Enjoyed that match. Flawed but entertaining. Aussie need JOC Daugunu Hodge Petaia White and Ikitau starting in support of the magnificent Koroibete. Awful backline errors although Banks and Lolesio had some very good moments.
How good were Woki and Jaminet though? -

@toddy Rennie is fine. No one could slap together a real test side with a bunch of under 20s and blokes like Banks.
So it’s a cattle issue?
Robbie Deans has entered the conversation 😎

France still fun on the counter attack
Woki, the French no7 has been awesome tonight.
Big brute isn't he? Potential superstar

Also interesting:
It is, I wouldn't have guessed it was that lop sided.
The Wallabies showed signs of good structures but let down badly by individual decision making and skill execution. Particularly in the backline. Hearing backs complain about effort at the breakdown as if that was the failing would be fucking galling as a forward in the sheds.

Also interesting:
Get a head start on the scoreboard, then defend for ages, make a few plays on counter, get some penalties, and then defend some more.

I hate this crap at the back of a ruck when a halfback has his hands on the ball for a good 5-6 seconds and the defence can’t do anything.
I noticed in the Sharks-Lions game Peyper said to the halfbacks early in the game that if you roll/slide the ball back from a ruck with your hands it is out. I wish all refs did that.

Is it just me, or do the Wallabies not look nearly pissed off enough post-game?
I thought the same with Rennie's interview to be honest.
Perhaps a recognition they were beneficiaries of considerable luck in the first fixture?
