Gee we missed a smith
Or Weber, he was just firing them out
Weber could have been handy with his running game as well because it was so unstructured

Think we’re also really missing Goodhue’s level head out there.
Laumape - sorry mate - I don't respect your name.
Hes not the only oen who was disappointing
Reece was rubbish
BB was poor
Taylor not as good as Coles. Not even close
SB was an idiot.But well done to Aust. Like a diff team to the shit lot last week

Tense. No real expectation of winning especially with both sides making personnel changes around 9/10 but the ABs having more experience there.
Jeez I wish Swinton stayed on the whole game. I wanted to see if he could still motor at the 70th minute. He'll have learned from that but will be first picked next to Hooper. Multiple hard tackles, a couple of lineout takes, and a few runs. Best 30 minutes he'll play this year.
We did some dumb shit but something about Barrett at 10 just didn't work with TJP - he didn't pull off any of his trademark lucky bounces and we watched him like a hawk.
Good for the young Wallabies to get stuck right the fuck in, with the most appealing bit being the physicality.
A red card each way wasn't ideal in terms of keeping the game interesting but at least there can be no complaints like after Perth last year of too much one-way traffic.

Well done Yellow. Totally deserved and even a ridiculous intercept or something by black to win it would have been a travesty to sport.
A bit pleased for Rennie.
Travesty my arse, the travesty were he yellow cards.

This is what happens when you give a bunch of starts to the guys who don't normally make the bench.
Lomax was poor. SBarrett was stupid, again. Reece was dreadful and TJP was crap.
If we learn from it, I’ll be happy. Get rid of SB and Reece, and invest in the future. Lomax probably needs more time, and TJP is just not the right player for us - he’s no TKB and he’s no Smith. Finding the next 9 should be problem 1 to be solved.

Feel sorry for Jordan
He has a history of concussions. Hope he’s ok
Seemed like a nothing tackle as well
Head on the wrong side

Our new blindside looked good
Also, his brother actually had an awesome game, clearing up lots of poor ball, defending well and not dropping the ball when scoring his try.
Had to clean up so much crap

Peranara is shit now. Barrett was a ghost at 10, and Laumape has always been shit at 12 and putting him in the all blacks is just stupid. TJ Faiane is so much better at the same.size.
Apparently, there's a new rule in the AB Coaching Manual that you can't play the same 12/13 for more than 2 games in a row.

Have him on the right wing and the Jordie and Beauden battling it out for 15.

Based on what?
Decisions and ability to make space for your outsides to exploit.

Our forward pack was a bit scrappy. We didn’t look settled at all.
There was physicality from both sides and I think the difference was the penalties we gave away in our own half and Hodge made us pay.
Goal kicking still very critical.
