We seem to rely on our tight five, locks in particular, for ball carrying. Would like to see our loose forwards used for carrying more.
Akira got used once I think for that. Dalton is good for that too. Bower was surprisingly good for that.
-
If I am looking for positives, Havili continues to look good at 12. Nothing much else to add in the good column though
-
Think we are looking OK at this stage. Set piece good, defense dominant, it looks like ABs just need that 10% more intensity.
-
You guys are delusional, losing will not affect anything, the decision is either already made or an application process is going to happen regardless of what happens, so losing is just another record we lose.

Sometimes, but looks shaky as fuck on defence. ALB is the only back running straight.
-
@old-samurai-jack Bit more continuity with ball in hand would go a long way. We draw penalties quite regularly when carrying.

Havili had been a real mixed bag for me.

Can’t agree more with Kirwan. Worst 30mins in 5 years of rugby.

Don’t forget that Rennie is a master at making good sides look bad. It’s his real strong point. Picks out all the ways to stop rhythm and patterns.
Remember how he’d send Chiefs side to the Crusaders and make them look like a shambles.
This is not an excuse for Foster just a bit of extra observation to take into account as to why we are looking so disjointed.
As long as we find a way to get past them and win I’m happy. -

Both sides are a bit too much on the creep for Williams' liking.

That was 80 minutes of bad rugby, not 30 😉

It’s like some of you have only started watching rugby today. There have been some dire 1st half performances by the ABs in the last 20 years with far more talented (and accomplished) players.
I personally think we are trying too hard and did not play to the conditions. Go into the sheds talk about it and come back better.
Aussies got a fortuitous lineout win that put us under pressure. A couple of poor reads and they scored. Good try.
Discipline from both sides has been costly, but it should’ve been know that this ref loves the sound of his own whistle.
