The worrying thing is that this is probably Australia's best team. Who's missing? Skelton, Ikitau, Ala'alatoa, and Tom Wright. Not much else; you don't have a starter number 10

Well…. Thinking back
Wallabies lost the aerial battle, Argies defence was immense(for 65mins) which forced Australia into penalties and unforced errors, and outside of those two factors there was a lack of composure and game control from the Wallabies as a whole.
For Harry Wilson’s captaincy, I’d say today was a learning curve. His temperament and tone engaging with the offical wasn’t well received, needs to learn how to manage that better. Whether you’re right as captain doesn’t matter, arguing with the ref won’t help.

Proper wild and wooly running rugby test match
TMO Alfred E Newman gave Aus that last try as a merciful makeup call for all the bullshit from the pith-helmeted twat with the whistle

He is at every Sydney test, usually accompanied by the current ARU president.

All fans wearing soccer shirts to a rugby football test match should be barred entry....... until halftime when they are wheeled out to the centre of the field and placed in stocks to be pelted with rancid tomatoes as part of the halftime entertainment.

Frost, Pietsch, Lolesio and Faessler are arguably Wallaby starters when fit.
Uh huh
Jim Clark (26)
Yeah and no trigger warning. I nearly lost my lunch.

Captain Grumpy lost his focus on Topou last week and aimed up at the ref this week

It's not fucking worrying. Remember where we were 2 years ago.... Fuck. 12 months ago. They're on the up. A 2 point loss isn't the same as having over 60 put on them. Go away

Frost, Pietsch, Gleeson, Gordon, Donaldson and Faesslar

I agree
Uh huh
Jim Clark (26)
Really?? That felt like a pretty second string team to me. Wright, Potter/Pietsch, Ikitau, Lolesio, Lynagh, Gordon, Frost, Ala'alatoa, Faessler all sitting out.

No way. They lost their starter 10, Tomas Albornoz too. And this is rugby, you need depth cause injuries are the daily bread

Huh?
you asked what other Wallabies are missing, I listed them. Also include Lolesio on that loan
Super Hooper
Watty Friend (18)
In my eyes starters are: Ikitau, Wright, Skelton and Ala'alatoa. Pietsch, Lolesio, Lynagh, Gordon, Frost and Potter are average at best

I want us to win and win consistently
We were woeful in the first half, terrible discipline and couldn’t adapt to their aerial game
all in front of a sold out crowd

Lolesio is a mediocre test player TBF
