Ah crap.

 

[Viking]

Great second half by Australia. The poor first half is what hurt us.

 

[The Honey Badger]

Might be better to come second in the pool

 

[Up the Guts]

Wales aren't a WC winning side.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

The road from here is now very difficult

 

[Bobby Sands]

I can't even imagine how Cheika feels. That was disgusting officiating. We got blew off the park in the first half.
The grubby NH tactics to wind down the game made me sick.

Might be better to come second in the pool

Are you mad? Have you seen the draw?

 

[Viking]

Kurevi has lost ball in contact 5 times.. it cost us big time. but he is our gain line man.. i do not know how to solve it.

He really is a one-trick pony that comes with so many weaknesses.... he can't pass and he has horrible ball security.

 

[Adam84]

Honestly what the fuck was Cheika thinking by selecting Foley to start.

Too much favour shown towards players who served him well 4 or 5 years ago, and not enough focus on form in the past 2 years

Hooper played great, To'omua wasn’t great but was heads and shoulders above Foley.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

think To'omua is our 10 going forward now

Well I think we can all finally agree Foley is not the answer. To'omua needs to start.

 

[cyclopath]

Hooper looks like he wants to tell this guy to fuck off. *Next stupid question please*

 

[tragic]

I think we’ll score the same or more tries than Wales
The result will come down to our goal kicking lottery and how many dumb penalties we give away in kicking range.
Hard to watch when you're nervous the kick will be shanked even with a try near the posts.

Thank you and good night

 

[A mutterer]

paid the price for a very soft start, and we couldnt close it out after the chase to catch up.

hooper, latu and To'omua best on park. honourables to white and arnold.

 

[Brumby Runner]

I hate the fact the Welsh are giving us a rugby lesson but 2 field goals shows out a skill we are ignoring.

Eventually made the difference.

 

[Dctarget]

Well played to the Welsh. They were the much smarter team and played to their strengths. If we had only a little bit of smarts we could dominate.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Great game, slow start cost us. Good to confirm that Foley shouldn't play test match rugby anymore, would have been worse if we hadn't realised that before the knock outs.

If we play like we did for the first 20 we will lose the quarter final, if we play like we did for the last 60 then we can beat anyone!

Also if Poite and Skeen get roles in the knock out rounds there is a serious problem for whoever is involved, they were a joke today. Poite lost complete control of the game towards the end and was just talking garbage and letting the Welsh time waste. Explain to me how repeat infringements on your goal line doesn't get someone sent to the bin?

 

[Tex]

Positives
To'omua; Hockock; DHP at fullback; set piece dominance.

Negatives
Body height into contact; Foley.

Then there's Poite. Get fucked you fucking fuck. The call on Kerevi was insane, double insanity was spending 5 minutes on it then not reviewing the offside intercept at halftime. Disgusting.

 

[cyclopath]

Well I think we can all finally agree Foley is not the answer. To'omua needs to start.

Hope Leali'ifano is good to go again - we obviously need a reserve, one way or the other. Foley had an utterly forgettable game.

 

[Up the Guts]

Yeah, our draw is fucked now unless Fiji do us a favour. Still I don't think Wales are going to trouble England, NZ, or the Saffas. A couple of intercepts and penalties isn't enough to win.

 

[Dctarget]

I thought AAA, Latu, Genia and DHP were best on. Biggar then red head Biggar for the welsh. Oh and that jammy 9 for them.
