We look like we can score at will. But our D is soft and and scrum is ineffective.

Scrum much better vs SA and Argies. Strange to me with this Aus forward pack

Yeah what has happened to our scrum???

As I said last week: EdG.

Also our locks are working a bit harder this week

Quite an even first half, but we got more into it was the game went on and we stopped conceding penalties. Hopefully, we can start the second half strong.

We are more up and down, possibly more talented, but they look better coached.
Australia still don't have the line speed of SA or even (gasp) England though I think.

Would be interesting to know what Wayne Smith has made of this week with the team.

Wallace is some find, one of those players that instantly looks at home in black and I am sure will be for a long time coming.

[nostrildamus]

Vaa'i is doing the hard yards that SB used to do. Glad he has stepped up but SB really does seem more passive this year-card phobia?

[Victor Meldrew]

Bloody good game to watch. Wobblies playing way above their 10th ranking.

Really interested to see how we go in the 2nd half when the bench comes on.

Makes me wonder if he'd look even better at 8.

[His Bobness]

Not sure that EdG is 100%. All the promising ABs are the young guns, which is a good sign. ALB showing up JB, don’t you think?

[nostrildamus]

On attack at least I feel we should build the trio around Wallace. Not convinced Savea has the impact he might think he still has.

[Canerbry]

ALB almost Crotty-like in his centre play, positioning, physical presence, drawing to set others up and great decision making.

[BerniesCorner]

How are we leading

[Chris]

Reece having a much better game.

I think Cane,BB and TJP have had their day time to move on.
De groot also really offers nothing a bit like Newell to be honest Williams in the starting side Tosi on the bench I like big ball carries.

[Canerbry]

@BerniesCorner
Scoring more poins.

@nostrildamus 🤦‍♂️

Actually, and this might be heresy for a non Crusader fan, but I thought Crotty had this team knitting /strategy quality that ALB has yet to master but yes he is having a good game. And I gotta say Proctor might have looked good out there today (Rieko looking good today defending, not so good on distribution).

[KiwiInLondon]

Williams and Ratima on please

Barrett has made a lot of tackles out there to be fair he is going ok letting Vai play a but more loose which suits him.

[Machpants]

Sititi rocks, proving that a) injury our best selector, and b) more faith required in the newbies instead of the crap cane, Ardie, TJ, and BB are dishing up
