Wallabies v France - June 14 Etihad Stadium

[Scotty]

Simmons what the fuck is wrong with you, seriously.

He has a quota on those in the air penalties.

Did you actually watch what happened.

That was more his lifters fault - he was pushed into the French player and certainly didn't grab him.

 

[qwerty51]

The announcers did. Multiple times.

Oh that's Hooper taking the hit up even though he is still bound to the fucking scrum because this is first phase.

Didn't most of these guys play the game or something like that?

We need to get our fingers out of our asses right now and start playing some footy - or start chasing these kicks a whole lot better if we are going down this road.

Calrkie has to go he gets way too many things wrong thesedays.

 

[USARugger]

Oh yeah, AB ripe for the plucking alright. You heard it here first, y'all.

Maybe if you say it a third time someone will bite

 

[Bairdy]

Hodgson's not going to get the jersey, best to leave it.

Didn't know I couldn't make an observation without it being construed as advocating for Hodgson,

Not much he can do when the lifters throw him across the line. I thought it was his fault initially as well.

Fair call. I'll let the scoreboards do the talking from here on.

 

[Mr Doug]

My prediction of "Wallabies by 20+" is looking a bit shaky at oranges!

 

[Scotty]

What an odd first half. We haven't been poor just really conservative - why?

Under pressure both have gone back to conservative brumby style. White has been very poor in his decision making.

He should be hooked if he keeps that up.

 

[qwerty51]

Yep just had a look Horwill and Fardy push him over. Not his fault.

 

[ACT Crusader]

if Australia had played like this first half under Deans I wonder what the reaction would be?

The internet would've exploded

 

[KOB1987]

that ridiculous no try ruling stuffed up the momentum for us..

 

[Ash]

Maybe you should tell Izzy and Cummins too mate.. Whites probably been our best back atm..

The French have come to play

Folau and Cummins have looked less keen to kick. White and To'omua seem keen to kick away front foot ball that we held onto last week. You're letting the club team those players play for cloud your vision.

None of our backs have been particularly good. But: our forwards aren't giving them as good ball, and that's the major difference from last week, and as I said, our halves are not keen to play with the ball they are getting.

Was a fair call. This forum would have gone mental if it was given and the teams were reversed.

 

[ACT Crusader]

Interesting strategy by the Wallabies so far. Seems To'omua has been used a lot at first reciever.

 

[CTPE]

Total reticence by the Wobs to run the ball tonight is totally perplexing - izzy is being given no opportunity to join in to running play - did AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) get a touch in that half? Nearly tempted to suggest Beale needs to come on for To'omua.

 

[Aussie D]

Burke has just suggested bringing on Beale for To'omua - my heart nearly gave way at the thought. Basteraud's eyes would light up like a Christmas tree.

 

[mark_s]

Take the 3

 

[Tangawizi]

So when's Ewen bringing Genia on again?

 

[A mutterer]

Line speed or offside speed?

I swear some people may have mistaken this game for a Football World Cup game with a score of 0-0.

However, it may have not been the most entertaining thus far, but at least its been bloody competitive.
