Re the come back:
I don't think it was down to Smith and Mo'unga.
I'm putting it down to our forwards sorting their shit out.And I'll have to watch again, but didn't think DMac went that badly.
Watched the first half and have to agree. The forwards put themselves under a lot of pressure in the 1st 20 with mistakes - particularly Sami T & Laulala. D was good - kept the score down
Def. shift in the 2nd 20 mins and the error rate dropped significantly, though DMac's kicking was poor.
Kinda the same thoughts re Christie, but he's my No.4 No.9 ...
100%

Should add I've only seen first 20 minutes + highlights.
Most of the best bits for an Aussie fan.

AB lineout was pants for much of first half.

Not looking that flash for Retallick and Ennor off for scans on knee injuries.
Fark.
Feel for Ennor, but we can replace him.

Did I imagine Ardie kicking like a 12 at one point of the game?

Replace Ennor as a 13 backup? Not a great range to choose from but I assume big L's stock has risen..

Yes it was a well executed kick, but he should've passed

It was actually a contestable kick, which our guys knocked on

Yeah as I said, well executed. But he was 3 on 1 and should've passed instead

Good start
Less good finish
Happier than I was last week
Should add I've only seen first 20 minutes + highlights.
Thanks for clarifying. Essential to have everything up front and out in the open.
In that I've still got space to get fucking angry about our fuck ups in the last 60

Ref makes the mark for the last penalty kick at 77:50
Mounga doesn't start his run until 79:03
So much for the shot clock
