This is a pretty ordinary Wallaby team that managed to make a supposedly Rolls Royce All Black side look exceedingly mediocre.
This describes Wallaby wins over ABs under Henry and Hansen.
Those were all “famous victories” too. Every one of them.

Postives: Smith still great, Paps awesome, Whitelock a good leader, Havili and AB beginning to gel, Bower better than expected.
And RM
That miss on defence means you can't say he had a good game. That was truely below AB level.
Good goalkicking and a well taken try (and almost set up a pearler) but that was terrible defence.
Better than others,Rettalick missed a few tackles gave away 5 penalties.JB missed a shit load of tackles,D Mac was poor.
At least RM had impact that lead to points. -
@mn5 😅 @His-Bobness is a Fern legend.
You know that guy at the bar who's been around forever who doesn't say much, but every word is gold. That's @His-Bobness.

That is seriously clutching at straws. One miss and his game is below AB level? FFS

Agreed. Codie Taylor getting palmed off right after was worse.

@tim that would make more sense. Usually have the bigger body crashing it up. But that’s just the little things that tell me Foster clearly isn’t up to it.

Foster, like Hilary Clinton, was given the top job simply because it was his ‘turn’.
A perfect comparison. No spark or flair or dynamism about either, but the right connections. Foster simply not up to the job.
Foster wasn't a Juris Doctor from Yale, Secretary of State, University Chancellor, or US Senator, was he? I must have missed that bit.

@canes4life Yeah, and use Savea's pace wider out.

@mn5 I’ve been on this site for 20 years chum. I said ‘supposedly’ because the Wallabies weren’t given a show by either the pundits or the punters. So I have to assume you can neither read nor count.
Well no it just means they’re even shitter than the ABs.
I think you need to get up to speed with car manufacturers.
20 years ? I’m not familiar with your work sorry.
oh bloody hell, you were serious? HB has written some great posts on here about rugby (and Dylan, of course). Just been quiet a few years.

I think that starting 15 is maybe 1 or 2 players away from our best 15, but some of our tactics leave alot to be desired.
Our disipline is getting worse, just dumb shit, not even close to 50/50 calls falling our way, just clear infringing.
Players dont look like they fully trust one another or the systems on defence, we had a great 20 mins where we played a bit straighter and simply, then we emptied the bench and let aus back into the game.
I worry about on-field leadership.
Not bagging Whitelock as he's good, solid and calm, but we seem to be missing the senior players stepping up and taking charge when things aren't going well. Seems to have been missing for a few years.

He needs a rest - Conceded two penalties, (equal with BBBR @Chris ) and missed almost as many tackles asa he made (2 missed, 3 made). Ra for all of 3 metres with one pass. We have to get much more out of our front row and his role is crucial.

I said, very clearly, that sort of defence is below AB level.

@victor-meldrew he seems the ideal man when leading the Crusaders....
I think whatever way they are trying to play is putting themselves in poor places causing them to concede.
Given that 20 min period was probably the best under Foster, it makes you wonder if it was the players just playing what was in front of them, given it all fell apart when the subs came on and they probably went out to play whatever plan they had for them
