Australia A v Japan XV matches

[The Red Baron]

Dont know if the line is porous, its their defensive alignment which is creating space at the back, they’ve got Campbell defending in the line rather then sitting back. Which makes space for the chip.

Yep, that's true. What I'm also seeing is that the Japanese have made a few breaks up the middle as well, hence the porous comment. The Japanese are doing a good job of exploiting our defensive frailties.

Can someone provide the occasional score update please? Out at the moment so can’t watch it. Cheers.

Is the guy sitting next to Jason Gilmore marking homework?

Not getting the basics right is the scourge of Australian rugby.

Australia A making all the same basic mistake as the Wallaby.

 

[Adam84]

How’s good is Leitch

 

[Confucius Say]

Do AA have a 10 on the bench?

 

[Adam84]

Australia A guys will be wishing they did more cardio in the past few weeks, this game is getting played at a cracking pace

He's a freak. Feels like he's been around forever too.

9-6 to Japan XV after 38

So is Tate completely out of the picture for the Wallabies?

He fell out of favour of the selectors in the Rugby Championship (so is he 3rd favourite?), and he doesn't get selected for Australia A (so that makes him behind Lonergan as well)?

Is he injured?

 

[Adam84]

Jock Campbell playing well, just seems to ghost through gaps

It’s weird Tate didn’t make this squad (Beale and Wilson too). I’d assume all 3 are going on the EOYT still.

9-6 to Japan XV at halftime.

So is Tate completely out of the picture for the Wallabies?

He fell out of favour of the delectors in the Rugby Championship (so is he 3rd favourite?), and he doesn't get selected for Australia A (so that makes him behind Lonergan as well)?

Is he injured?

I’d say it’s more a workload management for Tate, he didnt play during TRC but he was match-day reserve every match, he will be in the Spring Tour squad 100%.

You'd think he'd be on the squard, purely for some gametime. It's weird.

Best 5 players for me so far, Robertson, Gleeson, Donaldson, Daugunu, Campbell.

Think our boys will tire late with the pace and temp/humidity. Frost/Neville need to impose themselves more.

 

[Ignoto]

Gleeson, Dangunu, Vunivalu and Campbell are definitely been the bright sparks for the Wallabies.

Kuenzele and Creighton really don't seem up to pair to be playing Aus A.
