Australia A v Japan XV matches

[Adam84]

Kuenzele seems decent, Creighton is struggling a bit to retain the ball in busy channels. Or maybe ive mixed them up.

 

[Wallaby Man]

Best 5 players for me so far, Robertson, Gleeson, Donaldson, Daugunu, Campbell.

Think our boys will tire late with the pace and temp/humidity. Frost/Neville need to impose themselves more.

Robertson done almost nothing you might be getting confused with Gibbon who has been close to best, Donaldson showing why Edmed will be the Tahs 10. Gleeson been okay, agree with the other 2.

No, don't think I am. Gibbon decent too. Robertson scrummaging well and getting to breakdowns quick.

Gleeson, Dangunu, Vunivalu and Campbell are definitely been the bright sparks for the Wallabies.

Kuenzele and Creighton really don't seem up to pair to be playing Aus A.

What has Vunivalu done?

my list of performers starts and ends with Gleeson.

Campbell has been going well at fullback

Campbell has been going well at fullback

Granted. He’s been solid in his role

Now we've got the Stan commentatory overlayed with the ground interviews. The best.

 

[Adam84]

Stan still struggling with this audio, they couldn’t get the on-field audio previously when they wanted it, now they cant turn it off when they want to give their half-time review

 

[The Red Baron]

Well that was painful.

 

[Froggy]

Don't know what Rennie has against Campbell, been the best 15 all year, outstanding here today. Daugunu and Gleeson been very good, Hanigan getting through a lot of work, a lot of other performances pretty disappointing.

I’d say it’s more a workload management for Tate, he didnt play during TRC but he was match-day reserve every match, he will be in the Spring Tour squad 100%.

Not playing.

Thing I really like about Jock is he is clearly a fullback, knows how to fullback, plays like a full back and probably knows how to spell it. Wallaby selectors will probably see that as a really good option for one of the wing positions.

 

[Adam84]

Not playing.

he was still the matchday reserve every game, had to train and warmup as if he were playing every time. Makes for a long season away from home if you do TRC, Aus A, and Spring Tour, even if you aren’t playing.

 

[gel]

14-6 to Japan

 

[Adam84]

R. Lonergan fell for the dummy on that one, let the Japanese play with a extra back

 

[The Red Baron]

Well worked try off the scrum from Japan XV. Missed the conversion, but lead 14-6 after 46.

 

[qwerty51]

Good response, some strong carries finally.

 

[molman]

13-14 (Aus/Jpn)

yeah - I understand what you said.

I think playing rugby matches is better for game sense. practice just does not do that in any way shape or form.

 

[The Red Baron]

Vunivalu scores after a good passage of play from Aus A. Lonergan makes the conversion and Japan XV is up 14-13 after 50.
