    @Stargazer I saw a 4 on his jersey when he sat down. Wasn't sure about the Aussie.

    I think they've got the numbers wrong as to what's on the jerseys vs whats on the program

    Was that the anthem or some celebration of the King?

    Moronic by Swinton - cost his team possesion and territory

    I was waiting for Swinton to do something stupid. It took 78 mins.

    Folau is wasted on the wing as he doesn't get his hands on the ball enough.

    Could switch Piutau and Folau. Thought both of them when they were involved were very good.

    @Bovidae Yep, commentator singling out Piutau and Folau as the stand-out players, but that's only because they're more famous. They were not. Piutau had some good touches, but you hardly noticed Folau. I think the best backs were Fine Inisi and Pita Ahki.

    Fekitoa was disappointing.

    @Stargazer I thought Folau was okay when he got the ball. But they don’t really play an expansive game.

    @Bovidae Same player he's always been - direct and physical but a bit one dimensional/lacking polish

    Tonga will get 3 cracks in pool play at an upset with Ireland, Boks and Scotland. Could really throw a spanner in the works of a tough pool.

    Not many in that Oz A side really putting their hand up. That first half was terrible really.

    @ACT-Crusader Harry Wilson and Fines-Leleiwasa were the pick of the Aussie bench - both superb.

    They could give Scotland real problems due to squad rotation
