Roigard and DMac on the bench. It's not rocket science.

It's learnings!

Roigard with the Trophy. That's nice.

Isn't that tradition? The most junior player has to carry it.

I knew they had to carry it, but he actually let him be first to lift it.

[nostrildamus]

@Nevorian yes but Ireland and France-I'm not sure how ready we are for them..

[canefan]

ALB and CC both made the most of their opportunity. Showed a lot of desire

[canefan]

I'm happy that we seem to have shelved the helter skelter stuff. The learnings appear to be starting to bearing fruit

Freedom Cup
Bledisloe Cup
Rugby Championship trophy

Just one trophy missing from the set.

[BerniesCorner]

Sco Bo was even best at the lip. Shut TF Up.
Complete performance.

I get that promotion is half the job

But no, there is nothing to provide hope. The wallabies are fucking terrible

[Old Samurai Jack]

Nah, you play what is in front of you. The ABs played well. Absorbed the pressure and struck when necessary.

[African Monkey]

@Old-Samurai-Jack Yeah pretty much. Apart from our lack of ruck protection in the first half, I don't see much to moan about. Everyone put in a shift(some better than others). Well played, good on them.

Well done, you've just beaten NTA to the Derpus Overly Optimistic Award.

[nostrildamus]

The Wallabies could still beat a few teams at the RWC. Wales could be licking their lips though.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

One thing that strikes me is that there isn't a single marketable commodity on the Aus team. Seems farking Nick White is the face of the team, which is enough to make any Wallaby fan want to top themselves.

Best on the park were Valetini and Scobar. Bell was great too but just 2 strong Wallaby performances.
Thought Smith had a sloppy game for him and Dalton seemed to lack impact in first 60. We missed Cane!
Our bench was great and added punch. Cam looks like a keeper and ALB was on fire.
I hope we see a bunch of changes next test to give everyone a good shot for RWC.

Has anyone listened to the Sky TV alternative commentary?

I'm actually watching this in French at a house in London. Interesting experience.

Tant pis.

@mariner4life If it's true that NZ rugby is in any way reliant on Australian rugby going forward you guys are fucked.
