Australia v Scotland, 3:00pm 17 June Sydney Football Stadium

[WorkingClassRugger]

Interesting dynamic re the crowd here. This game is almost if not a sellout. The admin shenanigans haven't hurt Sydney interest in a moderately interesting test against a lower ranked opponent.
Possibly proving that Sydneysiders will watch any test in good numbers provided its not played at Homebush?
I hope they remember to dust some of those seats that the roosters and tahs have not seen the need to use this year. I s'pose some A league bums have been on them.

What the hell are you talking about? The joint is half empty.

Looks a decent crowd, but a fair way from a sellout. 25,000-30,000?

20-25 I'd say. It's a 45k stadium. Looks roughly half full

 

[Strewthcobber]

Coleman with a great cover tackle.

Scots are up for it!

Clean out time for the ARU

Bloody channel 10. Too busy playing ads...rather than the match

ARU massively over estimate the value of their own product. Empty stadium.

Now I understand the daily text messages and emails from the ARU this week around tickets.

any one know of a free live stream thanks

Foley misses from in front and now a pointless midfield kick with no pressure to hand back possession

 

[Strewthcobber]

And now drops the well directed bomb to his wing. Not a great start for our 10

 

[mark_s]

Geez we have started poorly

 

[Kev]

Ah yes we have the timely Genia box kick charge down

 

[Strewthcobber]

Charged down boxkick!

I think that completes the full 2016 test match kicking issues bingo card already at 10 minutes!

They need the advertising money....

Ah Nabuli, that's exactly what I was talking about, tackling high or taking man in the air

 

[Strewthcobber]

Not overly excited about Nabuli starting, to me their appears to be some ulterior motive like locking him into the Wallabies, I think he has gone well this year, but his tendency for a high shot and subsequent yellow card have proven costly for the Reds, and could be more costly in the test arena.

11 mins in and your prediction comes true!

Penalty advantage over but very sloppy and lucky by Nabuli.

 

[mark_s]

Miles offside

 

[kiap]

LOL

This is comedy capers

 

[Upthenuts]

hate to give barnes credit but hes been very vocal and clear in his rulings, wallabies poor very sloppy best get over this before the RC

 

[Brumby Runner]

TPN three touches and three mistakes. Better pull his socks up if he wants to keep the fans' faith.

 

[Heavyd]

Zero skill level. What exactly are wallabies actually doing at training?
