Watch the rucks! The glaring exception is the passing - they really do seem to have been good passers. The only recent example that springs to mind is Cedric Heyman's try against the ABs earlier this year (6th minute of the second half in match two) where, much like these Wallabies, they run it right at the defenders' faces before flicking it flat and in front of the next guy<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-15271">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> So much of what they do is by today’s standards so ineffective.

None of this lateral bullshit.

They didn't score, but should have if they didn't drop it. and what's with the drop goals? This is the first game i've seen where AUS has sunk more than one.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-15244">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> how good was that play off the back of the scrum with the ella flick pass to lygnah.

What I have also loved about these Grandslam videos is the old school scrum engage. Have a look from 0:38 at how they bash in from a good 2 feet apart. None of this crouch, pause, touch, pause....pause....pause, engage rubbish which i think is more likely to collapse scrums.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-15236">1</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I love that try, it is one of my all time favourites.
