Dave Rennie doesn't deserve this. This Aussie B team doesn't nearly have the quality needed, but there were many extremely young ones, so who knows how they'll improve in the next couple of years,
I’m sure he’ll lament this whilst reflecting on his million dollar contract...

AB forward pack just too bloody good. We dominated up front and executed.

@Kirwan Yeah i guess so. It can't go on much longer though, surely? Not sure how much longer a Wallabies team can be turned out in front of 20 fans without going broke.
There are other teams you play and beat. And plenty of Kiwis live in Oz.
If you want to have a strong Wallaby team, go back to three Super Rugby teams and get competitive selections improving players.

@Stargazer That Richie Mounga can play a bit, always liked him.

How shit is Perenara?
Dare I say it, even Brad Weber would be an upgrade
only in passing.
TJP is a bit Marshall-like -- brings a lot more aroudn the field. His try against Namibia remember, just incredible athelticism
He brought nothing in this game and hasn't for years.
When was the last time he came on in a match and actually improved the team's performance? I appreciate that might be an unfair question, because most substitutes come on and try too hard when the match has basically been decided, but he's played enough tests where we can judge his value properly as a bench option. IMHO, he has little value as a bench option
Bullshit.

Random question. If you wear compression socks up over your calves like Clarke, why would you have your All Black socks around your ankles ?
Pulls them down after a game, probably hot?
He’s been getting cramp late in games from his Kauri trunks.

I'd be fine with it all if Adidas didn't insist on being petty fluffybunnies with their 3 stripe branding.
They weren't allowed that shit on the regular socks

Answer the question
His passing can be laboured, but he does a lot of good stuff. His defence is excellent, he generates turnovers, he runs strongly with the ball

Fuck me, @Tordah is back. Seems like years
I don't know, had a hard time following rugby during the whole pandemic thing, and the last few AB tests were during ungodly times for Europe, I think.
Glad the ABs played (mostly) very well when I watched them again.

I thought YC to Frizell was fucking tough.
Petaia went head first into Frizell’s elbow, which with his low body position was set to make a tackle in the midriff of the ball carrier. Nothing Frizell could do there.
ABs get 9.5/10 for the first half, 6/10 for the second.
Coles brilliant.
Whitelock/Tuipoluto got through a power of work.
Sotutu solid starting debut.
Smith great, TJP shite.
Mo’unga bloody good.
Midfield mostly bloody solid.
Jordie, dodgy yc and wayward kick or 2 late in the game aside had a decent game. We’re seriously missing a trick though playing him ahead of Rieko.
BB anonymousWant to see Akira given a start at 6 next week, also wouldn’t mind seeing PUJ & Jordan get game time.

Sounds like a decent bench option for a loose forward, not a halfback
