Holy crap. I'm all over the show.

Really good scrum from Aus there. Aus need some big defence here. Ireland only 1m out.

Great work by To'omua, that tackle forced the knock on.

Looks like he have Sexton a nice rib tickler when he was holding him back as well.

Forwards need to start turning the corner and hitting the ruck square with their shoulders. The coming in at angles and flopping around does NOTHING but remove players from our defensive line.

 

[TOCC]

Cooper having an average kicking performance so far

 

[Toddy]

Aus give away a penalty. Shame as they were defending pretty well then. 15-6.

 

[Pedrolicus]

obstruction?

 

[Pedrolicus]

Hooper yellowed

 

[Toddy]

Yellow card against Hooper. Slowing the ball down.

 

[USARugger]

Well there goes our cover tackler...

 

[RoffsChoice]

Had to happen eventually, we've had players on top of their ball at almost every ruck.

 

[TOCC]

Kuridrani made a really poor defensive read in the broken play then, allowed Ireland to make another 30m

 

[Toddy]

15-9. Aus with 14 for the next 10.

Wow another horrible truly terrible officiating call against the wallabies. Clear, absolutely STONE COLD obstruction not called and then a bizaare yellow card to hooper. That is a yellow card that should END a referee's career. I don't make that mistake refereeing 13C games.

 

[RoffsChoice]

Not the kick we wanted from To'omua, far too low.

 

[Zander]

Folau in the air is really something else.

 

[RoffsChoice]

If To'omua went through the gate we kept that ball.

 

[Pedrolicus]

Simmons finds a new way to give away penalties

 

[ForceFan]

Have our forwards totally lost their mongrel??

 

[TOCC]

Simmons finds a new way to give away penalties

How was that his fault? it was a poor clean out and slow support

I need to see a replay regarding the obstruction, but the YC seems pretty spot on to me. He stopped the recycling of the ball, clenching it with his legs, lying in the ruck
