Arnold has been picking the opposition throw and Fiji have reacted by keeping to the front jumper. Arnold just hasn't quite gooten onto the ball solidly. Hopefully it comes.

Second lineout won against the throw. Fiji to second jumper to set up maul but not good enough.

Nice finish to the half with the Aus lineout ascending to dominance.

It will be interesting to see the possession stats. I suspect the penaltiew will work to the favoured possession - except for ruck turnover where a quick defender on the ball is rewarded for 20 nano second hands on the ball. I dont mind the interpretation if its consistent and we click to it.

The positives: lineout defense, Donaldson's boot.

The negatives: everything else.

The scrum has held up in spite the depressiive narrative.
We have stayed pretty tight, not playing to the Fiji strengths of a loose game. Fiji have run with it anyway, but let's see after 80.
Some booming kicks and 50/25.

We started with scratchy set piece as some strange decissions by Nick White, but the game is there if we shape up.
