the game plan which seems to revolve around individual players doing something all on their own

Exactly.
Give it to the fastest kid and he'll run around the back of all his players and score in the corner furthest from where he started - doesnt matter, all the kicks are taken from in front.
What do you mean this is a test match?

Mirror image of last week. I thought the Lions were the better team tonight and made far less errors.

Wallabies showed, as always, that their pride and passion for the jersey will overcome the shockingly undeveloped game plan put in place by those above them.

They have to go away this week as the Lions did last week treating it as a loss because had halfpenny kicked that goal or one or two things gone the other way, we would be down.

Congrats to the boys on some truly courageous efforts!! Go the WOBS!!!

I did't see RD dropping the ball or losing the collisions. If the players had executed we might have seen whether Deans did have an answers.

If the players had been told what happens after the collision - say 5 years ago - in this other world the great man inhabits then perhaps they wouldn't all be playing as if you have to score on the 5th phase or its a turnover.
These miracle balls they insist on throwing arent a sign of unbridled confidence they are a sign that they have no idea how this is all meant to end and that they have no faith in the "system".

I'm not having a pop at you just saying there is some doubt.

Absolutely, but I'm astounded he didn't get a week. Unfortunately you now get the ridiculous situation where he could be suspended, a week later on the IRB appeal, and miss the decider.

True dat. It has been a bit of a farce.
