Replacement front row and replacement 9 & 10 won us the game

Both Whitelock and Savea were massive in that second half too.

Well said that man.

Do we really need Nepo, fuck me he is average.

Very average

That wallaby team has a guaranteed semi final. Give Eddie another 8 weeks with them.

They will take a scalp I reckon.

They almost took us....

[sparky]

@Bones You beat me to it. Surely the big learning of this game is that Finlay Christie needs to be playing NPC rather than getting the plane to France.

@Mattasaurus

Blackadder out injured so Finau in
Along with Ardie,Cane,DP,Jacobsen ,Frizell

Forgot about that - yup I'd agree with that.

[Tordah]

Good interview from McDermott, a bit more talk than the usual and seems like a good bloke

[booboo]

Good result from 3-17.

Should have won by more though.

Blew plenty of points.

HIs goose has been cooked for a long time. Offers nothing between set pieces. Im not overly enamoured with Ofa either to be honest.

The young props are all playing great stuff. Fletch, Ethan, Lomax, Williams.

We need to move the Paddies and Frogs around the park. They don't like it up em !!!!!

[Dan54]

Happy with that, I can be critical of SS at 14 for his defensive lapses, or Samisoni etc, but they sttled down at did it at end, so happy with a 3 point win in any test!!

[Windows97]

Obviously the turning point in the game was Dmac's wonderful pass to his Chiefs teammate SS to go over in the corner....troll, troll, troll

[booboo]

Wouldn't write Aussies off based on that.

But add in 3xBarretts, Groot, Lomax and Roane and we're a level above.

[Steve]

Id be finding a seat on the plane for big Leicester after today.....wouldnt shed any tears if he took Clarkes place.

They've got a real chance of going further then us with the stupid draw

[booboo]

Didn't get McDermott's speech to Sky and crowd.

But seems a decent bugger.

From Bundy apparently, so there's hope for the regions.

Hearr that Queensland Rugby?

[sparky]

Finau’s a keeper.

[Old Samurai Jack]

It was Ofa that lifted the Aussie tighthead in the scrums, wasn't it? Had a big influence!

[booboo]

Damn. Nearly 3 o'clock. Time for a nap now ...

He's very posh with ferrero rocher on his necklace

@Bones I’d be having a quiet word with Perofeta too if I was Fozzie…

I'm not going to judge a ten outside that abysmal halfback performance.

I would've said Jordan is a really good wing and an average fullback, Faingaanuku doesn't offer anything more than Clarke so can go bye - but again tough to judge when the halfback takes so long to distribute, if he even makes it to the breakdown.
