Tonga v A: 16th July 10:00am

[Lightblue]

Willie Lose is a terrible commentator…

 

[Drew]

Lose says the bloke on his arse for 5 minutes had had worse at club level and we are scared of contact. Think he might be of Tongan heritage, like he’s commentating a game only his team will see

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

What the hell was that. Donaldson had the time and opportunity to catch that on the full and backed out in case of the contact.

 

[7137]

Langi Gleeson. Remember the name.

Best hard running 8 in the Tahs stable since Palu

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

A big criticism of the Aus A defence. Too much arm grabbing. Near the sideline the Tongan wing was perilously close and Sinclair could have driven him into touch with a solid hit. But nope. Let him fight his way back in field.

 

[Lightblue]

Soft try to Tonga.

 

[Lightblue]

32-22

That's why I called him an insufferable twat.

Soft try to Tonga.

It's the only threat they've had. The 5m rolling maul.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

And now we have Lose with the excuses.

 

[Shiggins]

Would be good if pickerol could referee a maul properly.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Campbell has had a better game. Donaldson not so much.

 

[Drew]

It's the only threat they've had. The 5m rolling maul.

But they had such an exciting backline pre tournament

This tour been a massive success in my eyes. I didn't expect to beat Samoa, thought Fiji would thrash us and Tonga would go close. Credit to the coaching staff and players. Gilmore looks good at getting a team to gel quickly.

Our tight 5 wasn't the best on paper but they fronted up.

If Fiji win I think we win the title?

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Who is the Aus A 18? Barely jogging back despite only being on the field for 25 minutes.

Tom Ross, Brumbies 3rd choice TH.

They did. But without those players and arguably even with them they didn't pose the threat they promised. If not for errors on our behalf marching them down field and into those position the score would have been a lot uglier for them as at no stage did it look like they'll break out.

 

[WorkingClassRugger]

Tom Ross, Brumbies 3rd choice TH.

Right. What happened to Archer Holz?

 

[Lightblue]

Gleeson, Daugunu the standouts.
Good win …

 

[Shiggins]

Agreed on Gleeson. Bloke was great. Best on park.
