We really miss Beauden at the back, as a 2nd play maker and organiser. Jordan is a great player but better suited to wing at this level. Stevenson looks like a Super rugby player so far, dangerous on attack but being targeted by the opposition for his poor defense, which is not unexpected. Hopefully some subs just after half time can shift momentum...

That first half has been personally chastening based on my current opinions of who should and shouldn't be in the side.

Maybe that's why Ian Foster is sat in the coaches box and im sat in my underpants with no hopes, dreams or prospects.

I feel bad for the likes of Stevenson Willoams, Finau, McLeod, and a few others, to go into a match v Aus with this many changes was always likely to go this way.

Lack of gametime and combos not ideal, but good for us to be tested if we come back...

Ahh well - looks like they've dug their hole and now the coaching staff is asking them to dig themselves out of it. Fair enough if you want to see how players perform under pressure.

[Damo]

First 30 seconds was a lot better.

If we maintain that for 39:30 well be ok

Fuck Stevenson looks dejected in the changing rooms, he knows he’s not going to the WC.

The way he's playing, it's probably just as well he's not going. He'll embarass himself

The look on his face when he dropped that admittedly bad pass. He looked gormless and embarrassed.

Every other Allblack winger has been mustard this year so far. Doesn't bode well.

They need to stop putting concrete in Nepos boots, it’s not funny anymore.

[Stargazer]

Ref, give Nick Frost a red card for a shoulder against his team mate's head.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby on a hiding to nothing , and in the case of Stephenson lets play him out of position for good measure as well🤦🏻‍♂️

[canefan]

A bit more urgency there

Yeah that aspect of the game is baffling how you clearly.see a head contact

[Windows97]

Playing a lot more direct - which is better.

[chimoaus]

I guess many of these players haven’t played in a long time also which doesn’t help.

[kiwiinmelb]

Score first we can win , I’m calling the comeback

[Mattasaurus]

Aussies D line looked to be offside a few times there
