Fiji v Australia A 1:30pm Saturday 9 July

Bit more time together and a completely changed performance.

Much more professional performance. Not perfect but significantly better than last week. Discipline still an issue. Probably would have kept Fiji to lower score if he didn't give away as many penalties. Anyway. Good game.

Hopefully next week is the best of the bunch from Aus A.

 

[Up the Guts]

Some impressive depth building given guys like Creighton, Williams, and Holz aren’t even regular Super rugby starters.

 

[Thalium]

Could the commentator sound anymore depressed Australia won

 

[Lightblue]

Hopefully next week is the best of the bunch from Aus A.

Yes, although winning today and losing last week who slots back in?
For the coaches….
The boys will have a Kava tonight!

 

[tragic]

Entertaining game and a solid performance from Aus A. Still haven’t seen anyone putting their hand up for promotion to the wallabies squad.
Enjoying the absence of the TMO.

Me either. But Lonergan, Gleeson, Donaldson and Daugunu are doing their reputations no damage at all.

Love Willie Lousi having to give an Australian team credit. Feels like Fatty whenever a NSW team have a good game.

I've flicked over to QPR.

Seemed a good win from Aus A, and what you want to see quite an improvement, so should be some satisfied people involved with team

Also got the Norths v Gordon rivalry game at the beautiful North Sydney Oval.

To be fair, Willie Lose (& Ken Laban for that matter) only gets chirpy when a PI team wins.

I reckon Sinclair is the inverse Luke Jones. Looks like he’d be a shit player but is surprisingly competent.

Gleeson should play blindside at the Reds if he wants to start. 6. Gleeson 7. McReight 8. Wilson would be nice

 

[RugbyReg]

A very good win. Donaldson was very good despite having to deal with Lonergans passing. All the pack were good. I think Campbell was average again and perhaps showing why he’s not quite test standard. Lots of defensive work by the centres. Creighton a surprise packet how comfortable he looked.

Yes.. I thought Creighton played very well.
I think that was Donaldson’s first game at 10 since pre his injury earlier this year.
Great win by the Aussies.

Langi Gleeson the standout for mine, would love to see him get some more gametime at the Tahs next year.

That’s the benefit of these fixtures- these guys showing what they can do at that next level and getting some high level experience. Well done to those at Aus Rugby for bringing this back. A big step in the right direction.

Tane did very well this season for the Tah's, but everytime I see Donaldson play I feel like he's got a greater ceiling than Tane.
