Wales v Australia

[Hoolly Doolly]

Pull the rookie...bring on Hodgo

 

[Lorenzo]

joubert having a shit game, not as shit as the wallaby defence

 

[MrTabua]

Well that was fun!

 

[Ash]

We can't rely on luck in the second half.

Folau's was practically a 14-point try, and Foley's intercept saved another, then there was AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s intercept.

We need to fix our defensive line, and our tackling.

We have also had more ball, yet Wales look way more dangerous.

If possession levels out, Wales may take this.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Joubert notwithstanding, we're lucky to be on a level pegging. That Folau jailbreak was worth 14 points. Defence not coherent - will not win a World Cup. Both sides kicking the ball away. Only two poor final passes preventing Wales from putting us to the sword.

 

[Wales Fan]

Truly awful defensively from both sides, entertaining though for the neutral anyway !

 

[Cardiffblue]

Mad game

 

[Shiggins]

Jeez Wales lucky to have that try awarded. It's been scrapy but you can't deny Wales. They are hitting hard and finding plenty of room. We might be in trouble if we don't sort our defence our

 

[Braveheart81]

I'd bring on Horwill for Carter and Hodgson for McMahon pretty soon if not now.

 

[Slim 293]

That must have been a call from the touchie on Kepu. Would like to see a replay.

Carter Simmons around the side.

edit: sorry Carter

No, you were right the first time - Simmons.

Don't remember our bench is shit. Won't win from here. Defensive system isn't clicking yet.

 

[Cardiffblue]

Don't remember our bench is shit. Won't win from here. Defensive system isn't clicking yet.

But neither is ours

there's no evidence of a "system"

 

[I like to watch]

Unfortunately,some of our shit bench options may actually improve things tonight.

 

[Ash]

No, you were right the first time - Simmons.

Was apologising to Carter, not blaming him with my second go.

Our locks have been outplayed, Jones has been close to the best player on the park in the first half.

 

[qwerty51]

But neither is ours

Wouldn't say that, scored an intercept and both other tries were from tackle busts. 1-1 defense, nothing wrong with defensive alignment.

 

[Shiggins]

Let's hope an inspirational reaming from cheika will make the wallabies lift!

 

[Ash]

A game this quick and loose, not sure Skelton is the right guy on the bench either, especially if he replaces a loosie.

 

[Dctarget]

Wouldn't say that, scored an intercept and both other tries were from tackle busts. 1-1 defense, nothing wrong with defensive alignment.

Think he was saying their bench was shit too.

 

[Braveheart81]

I thought Kepu was excellent in the first half. Lots of involvements and strong scrummaging. Shouldn't have been penalised that time.
