At what? Getting fucked over by competent experienced teams? It looks lame and pathetic, and 'building for the future' - a future that will involve being reamed by everyone decent. The barely fit Tupou is most caps with 48, what a pile o shite

Bad early miss from Gordon

Australia have to take their points when they’re presented

[MiketheSnow]

Australia were on a roll then

Good to see ref calling off feet and beyond the ball at the ruck

Let’s hope he’s consistent

[MiketheSnow]

Good communication between ref and TMO early

Huge bust up by Danty

Fra 7-0 Aus
7 mins

[Jailbreak7]

Danty is a lump, just brushed Aus defenders out of the way like matchsticks.

[MiketheSnow]

Good charge down from Skelton then shit discipline at the lineout to concede territory and a free kick

[Jailbreak7]

Beautiful exit. Note to ABs. Kick long from your 22

[MiketheSnow]

Blocking from France

Ref not missing any shithousery

[MiketheSnow]

Aus need to score here

[MiketheSnow]

Marky Mark in the corner

Easy

France lucky Aus scored otherwise could have been a YC for collapsing the line out drive

Fra 7-5 Aus
14 mins

[Jailbreak7]

@MiketheSnow Yep. Gives me hope. That looked simple enough for Aus.

[MiketheSnow]

Gordon already left 5 points out there

That’s a worry

[MiketheSnow]

Great scrambling defence from Aus after a solid scrum

They’ve improved dramatically in camp already

[MiketheSnow]

Loving the ref picking up the technical stuff

[MiketheSnow]

And another baulk from Marchand

Aus really disrupting the French lineout

[MiketheSnow]

Aus really targeting the blind side

[Tordah]

Irish comm gets both Aussie wings wrong all the time, "Nawaqinitawase" or some variation of that that's way worse and "Vulivulivalu"

[MiketheSnow]

Cracking match so far

Ref having a blinder
