Aus v Italy.
If there isn't a handful of better No 10s at U20s elsewhere in Aus, then Aus rugby is in some sort of trouble in the future. Deegan simply makes too many fundamental mistakes to be taking the side into the SA game, and hopefully the finals.
Can someone explain exactly what happened in the scrums? Italy dominant to the point of destroying the Aus scrum though our TH side. But after about 30 minutes, the dominance swung around to the Aus scrum even though no replacements had been made to that point.
As mentioned by others, Placid must learn when and how to pass to his supports. Could have been a couple of extra tries had he done so effectively. But he is massively good otherwise.
I thought FF (Folau Fainga'a) was better at hooker than McInerny, especially in general play. Others to show good form included Orr, Hanigan, Wilkin, Tuipolotu and Kellaway. AK (Andrew Kellaway) simply should not be captain. On one occasion, the ref actually ran about 40m across field to talk with him and then had to return to get the game started again. Other times, AK (Andrew Kellaway) had to come in to the ref and then pass on messages to his players before returning the the other side of the ground to take up his position.

I can't. Was suggested Italian prop was turning in until the ref copped onto him.

Maybe, but have to say I didn't see it. Just looked like Sandell was being overpowered. Although, I have to say, even in the early scrums the Aus one held together better when Wilkin packed behind Sandell rather than Gunn. Could that have been some of the difference?

Thanks Lee, great write up.
the front row stuggled in the scrum the first 25 mins due to the fact i think the italians scrummaging illegally then the ref had caught on wht they were doing
i prefer Fainga'a over connor , seems to offer a bit more
orr was good on the scrums and around the paddock
tui was a beast with ball in hand , same as korczyk, wilkin had a good first solid hit out
Deegen had a ordinary game , too many mistakes..
Placid is great in attack but needs to use peripheral vision to look for players couple of times players were open
the score for the lads could of gone to 40 plus if they had better ball control and bit more patience in attack

maybe they were illegal but the ozzie front row were far too high - I reckon I might have been able to get under them......nah
m
maybe the first 2 scrums eps the first penalty and 3 pointer for the italins, but then once the lads adjusted you could see the looshead trying to screw the scrum, and the ref caught on ...
our scrum will def be tested against the saffas , so the boys have alot of work ahead of them

The Aus scrum will hold its own for the most part if they can get frontrow slightly lower than they have been. Boks will also try to raise contact point of frnt row against them which wont help Matt Sandell trying to nullify an opponent who wants to work him slightly inward.
The ref wont pick that up because it will look like Aus are causing it.
A Kell. Needs some tips on how to get in refs ear early about scrums he should have done it in Italy match.
Shouldnt matter where he is on field a captain should always be letting ref know that he is aware of stuff that ref is not pulling up.
This mob are not overawed by any side I can tell and thats a big plus in big games.
Lets hope the recent game v all blacks has them smarter on the paddock because thats where they need it like recent lovely break by 15 who decides to be a potential showoff and stuffs the attack with 3 players in support on inside!!!
Have a close look at replay , it cannot be allowed to happen again because chances like that are extremely limited.
I also noticed a couple of my favourite plays being employed to great effect but not often enough , that is a mobile forward able to hit contact and stay on his feet with a backrower latching on at pace gaining very good metres wider off the ruck.
it disrupts defensive patterns regularly.
Good luck young men in gold and play well for yourselves and supporters and country.

Well done to the Aussie boys picked.
None of them made my top 3 for the Aussies, but Orr came closest; his side of the scrum was not the problem we had early in the game, and his little swerve against three "tacklers" before scoring was showing off.
Tuttle has improved since the Oceania tournament, but he had to.
I had Korczyk ahead of Wilkin, in a different position, I know. Apart from other stuff he did, I thought his handling of scrappy ball at the lineout and the back of the scrum was first-rate and was a significant plus.

Have heard that QLD 20s halfback Isaak Fines has been given the call up to fly to Italy. Has one of the inside backs picked up an injury?

Don't understand why people are so harsh on Tuttle. I get it that the NSW nine wasn't picked, but Tuttle is very good - and will be a good super rugby player.
