Useless Wallabies - I for one couldn't careless about how close they came. 15 years of misery. Foley absolutely useless cost us that match with his kicking. Wallabies useless can't hold on for 3 measly minutes.

So many people saying well done - look what has happened to Aus rugby - we are happy when we lose!

El capitan knock that ball on from the restart? Looked it.

Australia rode some bloody luck there but by the end they played well enough to deserve something from that. You can only take advantage of the breaks given and they did that. Defence was immense.

On the other hand, AB's have some serious problems when someone gets in their face. Ioane is absolute class. We're going to miss B.Smith hugely, given J Barrett is also out.

Ioane's evasiveness is something to behold.

Went to the shute shield final where record crowd I reckon of 20,000+ (read: find another bigger venue for next year and also sort out bars as waited 40mins to get drinks)......and then went to pub with mates to watch wallabies....wow...so Proud....

If I had of just gone on today and been oblivious to the past I would have thought where is the crisis for rugby in this country?

The writing was on the wall that we weren't going to win with Foley having a shocker with goal kicking. I think he lost the game.

Take a hike mate. Takes a really weak bloke to be that pessimistic and you have nailed it.
Massive bollucks from the Wallabies tonight. We play the AB's again this year and I rekon we'll do them.

Despite the loss, very enjoyable match to watch.

There was one moment in particular that slapped a grin on my face I couldn't shake. When Izack Rodda, who only turned 21 a few days ago, debuted with 15 to go. ABs pounding away at the line, cracks showing in the WBs, when suddenly the ball pops up from a tackle and Izack collects it and goes for a solid 10m gander with it, first touch of the ball.

Don't think he'll forget that game for a while.

I was very critical of the coaches this week, mainly about their defenesive selections...

Glad to see that changed this week, they did what many of us wanted them to do and it paid dividends.. not sure whether it was Gray or Cheika who realised the errors of their way, but glad to see them change. It's a very positive step.. not perfect, but there might be hope yet

p.s Foley's kicks at goal that hit the bar go over we win....which is about the finer margins...and bit of luck....

Anyone not proud of that Wallaby performance tonight despite the result is missing something imo.....

Proud and definitely can't wait till the next wallaby match after that performance....

When you see Beale put in an absolute world class performance like that it is a little hard not to question where it is week in and week out. He showed the talent he has tonight so let's see it more consistently now please!
