Wallabies v Fiji, Sunday, 6 July, 1:30pm @ McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle

[Derpus]

Braindead from Wilson

 

[Aussie D]

Wallabies have started at a frantic pace, if they fix up their handling errors they should do well

 

[Tomikin]

Try time.. that was a great maul

 

[Derpus]

Clinical try.

 

[LeCheese]

Braindead from Wilson

A bit too much force on it, but 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) was in if it stuck

 

[Wilson]

They've clearly been given a license to attack by Schmidt, a lot of intent to take this game to Fiji and press every advantage

 

[Aussie D]

Try to Porecki though it looked like the maul had become disjointed at one point

 

[drewprint]

Just clear that ball from our 22 boys FFS.

 

[Major Tom]

Good scrum. This halfback is taking the piss with the feed though.

 

[Marbig]

I guarantee you Lynagh puts that penalty out, FFS

 

[LeCheese]

Good scrum. This halfback is taking the piss with the feed though.

Every single halfback in the modern game is too though

 

[PhilClinton]

Wallabies playing like a 1st grade team doing a team run against the 3rds.

Very loose. Need to score some points with this kind of play soon or it’ll become too scrappy.

 

[Major Tom]

Slipper is fucked

 

[Major Tom]

Gleeson doing a very good job of replacing Bobby V.

 

[Wilson]

Really benefitting from the continuity in this side and last years ones. Everyone looking well drilled and pretty well in sync with each other

I feel like that is kinda what Schmidt is telling them to do. He is creating a system where they can play a little loose, a little Australian, but can always fall back on base system if it doesn't work out.

 

[Aussie D]

Fark. Get the little things right

 

[Derpus]

Fuck sake and it starts…

I doubt the coach is saying

“push every pass and try and score off each play”

which is what they seem to be doing.

Absolutely, it looks a lot like he's letting them really play and express themselves after laying that base last year
