Take away the intercept try and Oz got their kicks and it's a different looking scoreboard. Happy to win but fuck me we have some work to do.
Fully this.
We fuggin suck at the mo.
Heaps of love for Aaron Smith and Brodie though. ❤️

Drew Mitchell mentioned the class of the ABs shining through, not where I am sitting. Two mediocre sides with mercurial at best coaching. Possibly the Wallabies bench is stronger than their starters and the ABs bench is a serious step down (apart maybe from Jacobson and big Karl).

Still cringe when the stadium only pipes up for the English verse. So odd... shouldn't most of the fans at least be around our age and know the full anthem?
Felt the Maori verse was sung loud and proud as it's ever been.
I'm not here to talk about your feelings.

A less than favourable finish. One of those difficult ones when you are up by 20 and you want to give the bench a good run.
As predicted last year, there are going to be some up and downs to this ride given the new players and inexperienced combos. Some good things tonight but some things that are a clear work in progress.
Some lessons being learned hopefully for some of our less experienced boys.
-
Heaps of room for improvement. This isn't a vintage group of players so there's always going to be some ups and downs. It also didn't appear like we left it all out there. We'll be better next week.
Oz also had a superior build up with that French series.
-
Noahs kicking a major issue. He was near perfect in the French series. Eden Park psychological effect clearly huge.
Cant wait until these RA flogs realise we dont have to play the Darkness every other bloody game. Why not throw in a test against Japan or Fiji as well?

Well, minutes 35 to 65 were good.
That's what's so frustrating.
It's almost as though the AB's have a Play-like-Shit/Play-like-Gods switch and someone's lost the instruction manual.

Safe to say we have a lot of work to do despite the win.
Can this current AB setup turn it around, I’m not so sure. Especially not with Foster in charge.
It's also the quality of the Assistants that is the problem. The defence looked good, then it didn't. The forwards looked shit, looked good, then looked shit again. The attack is still miles away.

Both of which gave away dumb penalties…

yes I said maybe, still think they are worthy ABs though

Wallaby tries in the end saved us from playing with a player on the naughty chair. Advantage, new advantage, new advantage, try...
