Hate to say it but a bit of a "everyone gets a run" to this side. Would much prefer tizano over samu

When do we get a team announcement?

I think you have to play CG in this game. I honestly just can't see us beating France or Ireland with Edmed at 10. If CG plays the house down against Italy I'd be much more optimistic about our chances for the remainder of the tour. Besides, even if he's shit there's enough quality in the...

Feel a bit sorry for Edmed cause he really got less than zero help from Paisami at 12 (who's decision making was outright moronic). That said nothing I've seen from Edmed suggest he's anything better than a decent Super Rugby player. A wallaby 10 he aint. Lolesio and Lynagh are both much better...

agree with your thoughts. Hard to take much out of the game given the seeming gulf between the two squads other than some of the guys who you would expect /hope would show they were a level above their opposite number did that. Was really nice to see Faessler take the reigns as captain and lead...

Agree...the penalty seemed like a 50/50 call in real time. Upon replay i reckon even a penalty would be tough call but at least arguable . Squinting as hard as possibl l cant see how the ref justified a yellow. Even the warning he gave shortly prior that seemed completely unwarranted. We were...

Its unfortunate the officiating is overshadowing an otherwise very good test match and australias best performance at eden park in a long time

Its definitely a bit unprofessional but honestly after the run of ludicruous decisions that have crueled us this year, he's just saying what we are all thinking. Its also somewhat of an acknowledgement to the casual fans that have been tuning into the wallabies games this season that its not...

I feel fairly confident that we will be too strong for them at home...then again if i take into account the ref we probably get fucked again

Should be happy with the teams performance but just kinda angry...i counted at least 6 decision against us in that last 30 mins that were basically indefensible

Nothing like a game against the wallabies at eden park to help the all blacks find form. This seems like a bridge too far. Im expecting a comfortable win by NZ but i also think the wallabies are a decent chance of getting the win back next week. Result aside, im hoping we see a good 80 minute...

I think most of us will agree that the starting forward pack pretty much picks itself. Id be minded to go with daungunu over toole given the task at hand ..bit more experienced and a better defender imo

My assumption with Faessler is that Schmidt decided he hasnt shown enough this year and needs to work his way back. I wouldnt say schmidt doesnt rate him. He was schmidts go-to last year (even for game 1 against the lions) for good reason. But he's not played much rugby this year and needs to...

can we just start a seperate thread to debate Tom Lynagh's abilities. Maybe call it "if you think Tom Lynagh isnt shit you must be from Qld".

Depends which boks team turns up...all 4 teams a bit inconsistent Depends which boks team turns up...all 4 teams have been inconsistent. They certainly wouldnt beat the boks i watched this evening
