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!

Don't know what went on behind closed doors, but good to see the coaches admit their mistakes and shift their defensive plan from the crap they was dished up last week.. massive improvement in that area this week, you could see it in their body language, they weren't constantly second guessing their man inside them.

Beale played a incredibly impressive game, likewise with McMahon, Genia and Arnold. TK, Hooper and TPN also had good games.

Well he had an off night but was 6/6 last week. No, we can't afford to leave the points on the field and it could have made a difference no doubt. But the sliding doors theory applies..

Well, the 3 conversions makes it a draw. Of course, penalties are different, as you say, because the flow of the game changes, but................
Fuck.

5 tries conceded, ABs disallowed (just!) two more times and a penalty try not given for Hanningan getting in the way.

Definatley better, but there's still some issues to work through there.....

If only he's had the 100% night tonight. He could have missed every kick last week for all I care!

Shitty post--the Wallabies of any era would have been pleased with that effort against such a strong ABs side. Still not perfect but they were far from useless.

Elephant in the room is how the war criminal, Nigel Owens (who belongs in front of Nuremberg, not a rugby game) refereed us but seemed to be coaching the all blacks... the penalty count was extremely lop sided again.

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.
