In terms of cards we came out better off. Reece committed an obvious professional foul on our 22 in the first half, just flopping on the ball and hanging onto it to stop them clearing. Similar to Koroibete but probably worse and got away with just a penalty.
I said before I'm not a fan of the card happy refs but it didn't end up benefiting Aus.
The red card situation definitely favoured Australia. They only lost Swinton but the ABs lost Ofa and Akira. The consequence of that was that Lomax played much more minutes than he was expected to, and faded in the 2nd half, and it removed one of the better performing players through no fault of his own. Losing a front rower to a red card early in a game is always a double whammy.
That's a fair point. Though we didn't have to lose Akira. We just went with the cookie cutter "sub off your 6 if you lose a front rower" despite Akira being one of our most effective players on the park.
Teams train to play without a 6 though and I'm pretty sure it's been clearly thought through that that is where you can best hide the gap.
I guess you could have chosen Ardie instead, but that would be losing one of our best players over the past couple of years for a guy on debut who had had a bright 20 minutes.
I don't think it's a very valid argument.
And yes Sevu was having a stinker but you don’t replace a back in that circumstance unless you are willing to have a forward defend in the backline at set piece.
we took Kaino off for SBWs explosion against the Lions didn't we? That says pretty much everything.
It was only after that SOB took out Navolo with deliberate swinging arm that AB’s defence was so disrupted that Lions managed to break it.
Seven man pack was absolutely heroic in taming eight man Lions.

Not that I can remember it happening!
Closest was Sinckler going off will HIA. Left Pom front row compromised.

@voodoo I don’t know but @number9 doesn’t like the fact that the ABs traveled to Brisbane from Sydney on game day because that’s unfair.
And now it seems @number9 doesn’t like the fact that the Wallabies travelled to Brisbane on game day because it gave them an advantage
Make sense? If not, go ask your girlfriend or your dog.
Hey I'm a half back I have an opinion on everything including dogs, routines, familiarity with your surroundings and acclimatising to those surroundings when you are not familiar in the first place and dickhead refs and opinions.
