Wallabies v Japan 25 Oct

[Shiggins]

Weak defence. I think toole created the issue running across our players

I'm actually OK with Japan scoring. BUT we need to pick up and pick up big.

I'm not England, France, NZ etc beat Japan by 40+ as they should and we're just ahead

Pietsch is a unit

shockingly bad

 

[Shiggins]

I think the entire team were all withing 10m of each other's there. Interesting that we are playing 10 man rugby

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

We are missing Tupou, AA, Frost, Potter, Ikitau, Skelton, Lynagh, McDermott, Wright, Gleeson, McReight, Jorgensen, JAS, Gordon

The bulk of the squad has been together for months with the Lions. I get what you’re saying but I’m not buying it as an excuse v Japan.

I agree we should have won this by 30+

Anyone who didn't see this game as a risk with this team are kidding themselves. The wallabies can still win by 30 quite easily so pipe down a tad

 

[Uh huh]

I am enjoying how much work both wingers are doing in the tight .....but on balance I'd prefer it if there was just a smidge less picking and going and a bit more passing and running.

Finally Tizzano!

how is it a risk? It's Japan, have they beat a Tier 1 team since 2019

We are up by 11 with 23 min to go

Don't forget Tizzano is 1/4.

Think the conditions might play a part there

Strong in the air too. He's like if Wendell Sailor was good.
