@nzzp guy with same name , does my head 😂

Good save by RM
Vai looks more than useful

[NTA]

Good half of footy. Plenty of momentum change but someone really needs to look after Barrett if the Wallabies want to win

We seem to get turned inside on defence too often at times when the Wallabies are going wider.

Aussies have a lot of players in motion every time.

Just like England in the semi. Same attack coach.

[ACT Crusader]

That last 10 minutes we got caught down our own end too much.

Good start.

[canefan]

Some good individual performances but we look out of control, oz look to have a far better pattern

[Frank]

Have we ever had two Polynesian locks as the starters?

[Tim]

Would be good to see the Oz number 8 get solidly tackled.

Difference in coaching

[taniwharugby]

We sem to be loading one side too often

earlier in the thread a couple thought not.

[chimoaus]

Great test so far, their Bledisloe series is going to be owesome.

Agreed.

Wallabies attacking structure is far superior.

[kpkanz]

More talented team vs a superiorly coached team

[broughie]

@NTA It’s a pretty even game. You’re lucky to have rennie

God I wanted him to be the All black coach.

Earlier in thread. Yes, Chicago.

I think someone mentioned PT and Kaino vs Ireland in USA.

[BerniesCorner]

Frizzell great game

Bad option taking. Goodhue's distribution has been dire. All hospital passes and passes to no-one

I thought our game plan in the first half was noticeably different to last week. Better players in motion on phase ball. Beaudie coming into the line has helped also.
