At what? Getting fucked over by competent experienced teams? It looks lame and pathetic, and 'building for the future' - a future that will involve being reamed by everyone decent. The barely fit Tupou is most caps with 48, what a pile o shite
-
Bad early miss from Gordon
Australia have to take their points when they’re presented
-
Australia were on a roll then
Good to see ref calling off feet and beyond the ball at the ruck
Let’s hope he’s consistent
-
Good communication between ref and TMO early
Huge bust up by Danty
Fra 7-0 Aus
7 mins -
Danty is a lump, just brushed Aus defenders out of the way like matchsticks.
-
Good charge down from Skelton then shit discipline at the lineout to concede territory and a free kick
-
Beautiful exit. Note to ABs. Kick long from your 22
-
Blocking from France
Ref not missing any shithousery
-
Aus need to score here
-
Marky Mark in the corner
Easy
France lucky Aus scored otherwise could have been a YC for collapsing the line out drive
Fra 7-5 Aus
14 mins -
@MiketheSnow Yep. Gives me hope. That looked simple enough for Aus.
-
Gordon already left 5 points out there
That’s a worry
-
Great scrambling defence from Aus after a solid scrum
They’ve improved dramatically in camp already
-
Loving the ref picking up the technical stuff
-
And another baulk from Marchand
Aus really disrupting the French lineout
-
Aus really targeting the blind side
-
-
Cracking match so far
Ref having a blinder

Yeah, liked it when he said "if you want to use the train (caterpillar at the ruck) you have to make sure everyone is on their feet or they're not bound." Unfortunately, two minutes later Aussies did it with Skelton totally parallel to the ground and he didn't say anything, but I appreciate his effort.
