2nd Test Wallabies v France 8pmTuesday 13th July,

[Alex Sharpe]

Wallabies better side. Left a lot of points out there.

 

[Tomikin]

Lolesio nice kicking buddy. Wallabies have had a couple of missed tries.. when we have the pill new look dangerous I feel we have got this.

 

[A mutterer]

Wallabies better side. Left a lot of points out there.

glad to see the french are living up to their military history post-bonaparte and going for the patented roll over

I think these WBs are starting to catch on to what "test rugby" means

I'm really liking the French as an opposition, sensational test for the WBs. I also don't mind the "northern hemisphere" interpretations at the ruck - as long as we keep re-setting to the interpretation.

Wallabies better side. Left a lot of points out there.

Yeah, Tim Horan needs to lose the perpetual touring team cheerleader act. The French accidentally scored a try after a pass to nobody and haven’t done anything else yet he’s riding them for all money.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

France fairly professional.

Aus look like a Blues outfit, racey and daring but keep stuffing it up

Bit frustrating for Straya. Hot on attack, bride at the threshold and they keep bashing the poor womans head against the door jamb then dropping her. Do you love the woman or not Australia?

 

[Dctarget]

I’m at the game so I can’t see half the penalties but is the ref riding our balls or what? This is crooked. Why was Koroibete’s first try called back?

 

[cyclopath]

Jake Gordon take a hint.

Tupou put himself at 9 so I think all assumed he was going to pick and go. Why wouldn't the 9 stand off? Bit desperate to slag Gordon, who actually put himself wider where there was a space.

 

[Derpus]

They look a hell of a lot better punching up the guts than when we hitting another second man play or a random forward cut out.

 

[Joe King]

Wouldn't mind seeing some little draw and passes among the forwards.

 

[Dctarget]

Also uncomfortable amount of french people in the crowd, enough to make any man uneasy.

Honestly, why are we acting surprised? The team we play the most at an international level are known for bending the rules at ruck time.

If the Ref is going to be more lenient with his interpretation at ruck, don't whine, adapt and push the boundaries yourself.

Yeah i thought that was a planned move.

 

[Slim 293]

They’re clearly running a 1-3-3-1 setup which sees the 6 parked out on the left wing, but I’d like to see Valetini brought infield to get more involvements…………

He’s almost stuck acting in a support role, but he did make some big first to the ruck cleanouts when we were on attack in their 22m that gave us some good quick ruck ball.

 

[syndrome]

Cheeses plate again in French dressing room…or are they taking the piss?

 

[dru]

Yeah i thought that was a planned move.

I don't think that Slipper thought the cut out was expected.

The locks and Wilson are getting plenty of hard work though.

Yes he is, first try was called back as Wright knocked it on when he dropped it.

 

[Derpus]

To'omua having a shocker. Came off the wing to tackle a marked player for the their try, a pass to the ground leading to a turnover in their 22, two forward passes and a cold knock on. Shockers.

 

[Dctarget]

Good crowd, I’d say about 90% full so probably around 26,500.
