Should rename them the Wallatahs…
Ivania Wong on the wing could be a handful. She has good speed and doesn’t mind the physical stuff. Saw a bit of her for the Reds. Has a PNG background

@ARHS Weather update? Is it raining?
Yes. Been some heavy spells during Canada v USA game. Just a light drizzle now.

@Damo Thanks! It will be interesting to see how they cope with it. Will stay off the thread from now, because I'll be watching the game delayed on TV3.
Pelting down now.
Good crowd. Especially considering the weather.
BF need to stop playing so much ball in their own half. This is a day to hoof it down the other end and wait for an error.

They're not kicking much at all, to their detriment. Territory in the first quarter felt like 100% Australia.

I coached Ili. Good to see despite that setback she's made it this far.

Despite a faltering lineout, the Wallaroos' scrum is stronger, which is handy in these conditions.

On the feed both sides look vulnerable at this point.

That's an impressive run by the 8 off the back of the scrum.

Score?

That's some super dumb play in your own half in these conditions. Just punt it down field towards the sideline.

That lineout is the sole factor putting Oz under pressure.
