Wales v Australia

[Stargazer]

Watching the replay, now. That try from Faletau, and the passage of play just before it, was great.

[Stargazer]

Unstoppable maul from Wales, leading to another try. One of the Aussie defenders was literally sliding backwards, despite his sprigs.

[Stargazer]

Sad to see Anscombe going off injured. It looks like he won't play for a while.

the implosion by Wales was the startling thing.

Pivac looks to be fucked.

All the players were in disbelief after the whistle

[Stargazer]

Awesome second try to Nawaqanitawase.

First one was alright as well. Plus he set up position for the final try with a great break even if that flick pass made me clench. Deserved MOTM.

Petaia was not so good. Comes in hard on defence and left space.

[NTA]

Good stuff - we won. Also our ruck retention was better than the last few games.

Work ons - our forwards got mullered at maul time and around the park a bit early. Then Wales ran out of puff.

[Stargazer]

Great comeback win from the Aussies!. Down 21 points at some point and win 39 - 34.

Nawaqanitawase had a great game. Indeed, deserved MotM.
The comeback started when Samu came on. Huge impact not for the first time, this year. Why did he only get one start this tour (against Italy)? He should start all the big games.

He's Mr Fixit for the Walllabies at the back end of a game.

[Stargazer]

@NTA Maybe if they start him, there won't be anything to fix?

But if they DO need to fixit, and he's already there, what do we do?

He didn't go very well in his start vs Italy.

He seems better suited to bench impact - they aren't the same role.

[Bovidae]

Can Nawaqanitawase play on the right wing? He and Koroibete would be a good combo.

Once again, we've seen how crucial yellow cards are as international teams can usually exploit a one-man advantage, or in some cases playing against 12 or 13.

The Wallabies holding out Wales on HT after Gordon was yellow-carded proved so important in the end.

It really is time that Wales were relegated from the 6N

Don't think it matters for either of them. Particularly Marika: point toward enemy.

Mark N could make a good blindside winger as he has a decent boot.

What we DO is bring Hooper off the bench into 7/8.
