Papalii did well to get wide from a collapsing scrum, but completely overran his mark with Smith taking the 8. Left clutching at thin air from a misread.
Yeah nah, he abandoned his prop then mis-read on defence, he had a huge role play in that try.
Made a few pretty ordinary errors tonight I thought

First point, that was a shit crowd, there is no defence, it wasn't bigger than it looked, it was awful. I cannot believe I just watched an empty Bledisloe.

Both tries tonight came from Pap missed tackles. He only missed 3 (I think) and made more than 20 (rugby pass) but they were costly.

2nd point
Do people think that was good?
The wallabies put in 40 minutes. And most of that was off our errors. For all the talk of playing tighter o saw the same old shit this week.
If those two guys are the best we have at 10, then we are Kinda fucked. Headless, chuck it around bullshit from the start.
Our forwards look like they could be good, but aren't given the opportunity to be. Our set piece creaks.
When it opens up by christ there is running talent to burn out there. The retallic try was gorgeous. And we punished errors repeatedly. But a good team wouldn't give us those opportunities.
If Aaron Smith gets hurt, shit will get very real, very fast.

3rd point
The wallabies are a mile off.
There is talent
And they want to have a go. And I thought the half time score flattered usBut jesus when it goes wrong they fall apart fast. They hit hard, but fall out of shape very easily. They lack the skill to play the enthusiastic shit they want to play.
Even if it's all played in Aus, they are in a fight for 4th. Too many kids. Too many players want to play the small percentages, nowhere near enough guys in the trenches with Hooper.

That would be the Bower going forward?
Lol. "forward" after laulala implodes and Bower is the only black tight five forward on his feet.
UK feed only had view from Bower side.

Few thoughts. Congrats ABs. Brodie is not done yet despite some comments. And Smith sublime. Ardie gets a card and u score while he is off. Jordan looks great too. And 17 tackles for Papalii is a bad day coz he missed one…ok 2
but still…workrate insane imo. In love with Havili workrate too. He is the business. DMac bias myself but TSF crucifixtion was a bit surprising. Injury recovery and confidence shortfall notwithstanding, I would still stick with him myself. Gifted doesn’t go away. Form absolutely fluctuates but 15 is always in the spotlight. Hope he gets his mojo back.
Drubbing for OZ. They looked great at times. But really they were battling in areas I expected better. I had ABs by 8 ….umm…fork🤣🤣🤣 -

@kiwimurph no question. Best 9 of all time period.
Best AB 9 I've seen.
Sid Going a better runner but couldn't pass for shit.
Chris Laidlaw had a pretty sharp pass.

Just before my time. Fast and accurate by all accounts - Meads and co rated him the best passer.
Just think Nugget is the best/most complete 9 I've seen - his kicking, running and passing is way up there with anyone else.

I think there's probably a few better running 9s around and been around, but shit when Smith does decide to go, it's deadly.

So much better than last week.
Can we please start JB over the crab. You would think JB would be able to kick those stupid 50 22 kicks no issues and ran much more direct.
Other than scrums and defense around the ruck I thought we played well. Much more clinical. Think we played to a better game plan than the mess last week.
For the Aussies no one works harder than Hooper. How fit is that guy. -

He has the complete game for me. Can't spot any weaknesses and when did he last have a bad game?

I think Nugget has the Laidlaw pass, and more, allied to a pretty good running game, which I'd like him to show a little more often.

That was such a vintage performance from DMac. Superb mixed in with absurd.

@bones Got murdered in the scrum and did nothing around the field, so had to get some impact in.
Missile into the side of the ruck, twice, then gives a spray when the ABs point it out. AR does fucking nothing. Knob
Just went back to look at that. 82:05 on the clock?
Who said "Fuck you're so dumb eh?"
