First Nations & Pasifika XV vs the Lions - Tue, Jul 22 @ 8:00 PM, Melbourne

[The 6 Seat]

Farrell has been good. Really surprised he wasn’t in the original squad. F.Smith has looked like a sheep in an open field with no shepherd.

It may be too late for the test series unfortunately but LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) has to be playing himself into the selection frame for TRC and beyond. The contrast with a seemingly undroppable tighthead lock is frankly night and day. Has been best on ground IMO.

I think Debreczeni and Thomas also both deserve some kudos too.

Reckon big Farrell was protecting his son at the original selection, at that point of time it would have been so controversial. The absurd brouhaha over AF (an English great) has clearly taken a bit of a toll on the family from comments made. Just my take.

Been disappointed in F Smith this tour, had huge raps on the kid and he's looked off the boil. Probably an example of how much environment and comfort and consistency is responsible for the performance of Young 10's.

Wallabies need more Pacific and Indigenous power and passion

Bring in Lukhan, Swain, Uru, Gleeson, Tupou, Daungunu and Pietsch

 

[noscrumnolife]

some pretty random names on both benches for this one...the finishing 30 will be a fiendish future trivia question.

 

[Quicktapsonly]

3 errors from Thomas in 60 sec…

 

[The 6 Seat]

Has Farrell made it illegal to go for 3? I swear i’ve only seen them do it once.

 

[Rugby Head]

Tupou loves giving away a stupid penalty

 

[Strewthcobber]

Charge down looked pretty onside

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Shees, that McLeod looks like a chunky lad

 

[Derpus]

Kalani still aint it

 

[The 6 Seat]

You cannot let Jac Morgan one on one with a player! Silly error.

Is it completely out of the question that Joe gives LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) a call up? He's been outstanding in two tour games now.

 

[Super Hooper]

I’d rather have a match fit LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) than Skelton playing for the Wallabies at this point.

The bloke genuinely hates these pasty sunburned fuckers.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Joe has rung the bat phone and he’s on the pine soon.

I'm not sure. Doing the right thing has been a rare find for the Wallabies in recent decades.

 

[The 6 Seat]

Did everyone just fall asleep?!?!

 

[Drew]

What is this ref?????

 

[Wilson]

surely there was a knock on or 7 in that

 

[Drew]

We stop for this????

 

[cyclopath]

He only missed 3 knock-ons that phase of play...
