@Steven-Harris Who would you put at fullback? Smith is too old and slow.
-
We're being beaten every where. They are playing well and we are not.
Our forward pack is getting owned
-
We are being too cute with our selections. Need to pick the best 10 at 10, and we used to mock the aussies for playing two sevens.
We were getting dominated like an Oz pack of yesteryear
Be interesting to see how we cope with the man down, and if it forces us to play a more WC style/pragmatic style. Hoping for a silver lining.

Sounds like I'm lucky not seeing this...

The player that has made the difference for the Wallabies is White. He is taking two steps from the ruck and finding runners or getting behind us.
Think this is a good game but our usual 2nd half comeback will be difficult.
Have never particularly liked the plan of kicking the ball away. Combined with knock on from carries by the forwards and some shoddy lineout work we have been on D too much.

You were saying similar in the Irish Tests we lost as well if I remember correctly...
No. I made no such predictions in that match.
Wallabies might be leading at half time but I still wouldn’t pick any in a combined ANZAC team.....
Some of the ABs on the park wouldn’t make it either 😎

The problem is this helter skelter bullshit when they have the ball. No patience. The plays and passes are all low percentage plays. It's dumb rugby and dumb tactics.

Smith was good at fullback against Argentina. He should start in his best position.

So what happens now , does pat t come on and we drop a loosie ?

To be brutally honest, I am totally over this 2 pivot idea, how about a novel idea of having the right people in their respective positions...I think our coaches have totally over thought this and confused many of the players...dumb from Scott Barrett..,and his brother Beauden has not been much better, how about kicking playing a long kicking game, playing deep in the Aussie half forcing them to bring the ball and bring Kane and Savea into play at Breakdown...
Two pivots is working well for me. Definitely not the problem out there.
Yep looking effective.
Read having a blinder also. Ardie struggling a little, not his sort of game.
3 missed tackles and a drop. He has cleaned up from his mistakes and looks fit though.

19% possession? That's awful. Someone point to something that is going right

It’s not the WC final?
