Thank fcuk it was only a friendly

[akan004]

We lost to them by 21 in 1999 as well. We all know what happened later that year.

We lost this game in 2011 and 2015,

There was something more reassuring about those teams though

Didn’t lose by 21 points from memory. Hmmm...

@booboo If we play like this at the WC we'll be lucky to make it out of our group.

Steady on

You have Italy as the 3rd best team in your Pool

Italians are a Tier 2 side

There is more chance of pigs flying than Italians beating ABs

Where did that come from? Best we've played in years.

We got the rub of the green, but we've had that before and still lost. Glad we made it count. Scored some lovely tries.

Bring on Eden Park.

Matt Todd can pack his bags to Japan!

Did someone mention 2003?

Role reversal is a good omen

So we lose the Bledisloe and lose the RWC Final...keeps getting better!

[Siam]

Fair dues Wallabies. Gave us a fucking hiding. Respect

To replace Scott Barrett??

We don't need to play one openside, not two opensides, but three opensides!

Worst loss I can remember against Oz.

There was one worse when we got raped by Sydney in a game at Penrith many years ago. Think Matt Cooper might have played his first AB game that night.

The Wallabies by far the better team

That was true before Scott Barrett’s idiocy too

[Stargazer]

According to the stats, Richie Mo'unga made 8 tackles and missed 0. Excellent on defence; it was others who missed their man.

The one in 2011 felt similar , but we lost players through injury , this one was worse because we looked clueless

[Tim]

Foster
MacLeod
McLean
Hansen

The f*cking dream team.

[akan004]

No physicality on D at all.

[Mokey]

So, brain farts and basic rugby skills aside...let's move some furniture on the Titanic. BB back to 10? BFA to fullback? The AB's tag out and let the Black Ferns do the rest?

[Kirwan]

Just looking at the first half, we got blown away up front. Forwards got owned.

Franks is gone, Moody not much better. Dual sevens didn’t work. Brodie is a massive, massive loss.

Richie is not ready to be a Test ten, midfield is disjointed, Smith is slow, can’t get any decent ball to Ioane and our best back has to play ten and 15

This has been coming for some time. We keep being told that we can play rugby without the ball. Kicking it away. The Wallabies showed that keeping the ball in hand is what matters. Some of our tight forwards struggle with their hands. Tonight they lost the contact as well.
