Wallabies v Fiji, Sunday, 6 July, 1:30pm @ McDonald Jones Stadium, Newcastle

[Shiggins]

Silly penalty Williams. First mistake tonight.

 

[Shiggins]

This short balls to Wilson in the middle were working. A few of those to Wilson and Gleeson is how we unlock the middle more.

 

[Shiggins]

I don't like it. We make great breaks and then kick it away straight to a Fijian .Why not just take a bloody tackle

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

That was a mile forward

 

[michaelhoops]

[Shiggins]

[Major Tom]

Fiji scored on the only occasion they stepped on the opposition 22 with ball in hand

Look at where the Wallabies all are when Lolesio decides to put the kick up. There are I believe 10 of the Wallabies all ~10-15m from the left wing (ie all top of your screen) above Lolesio. He (Lolesio) received some contact, then tries to track back, there are three who chase (Wright, Ikitau, Sua'ali'i) the kick with only one player left (Potter) right on the right wing with a mountain (about 1/2 the field) of space in-between.

In short it was a stupid kick which allowed the Fiji to play the running game they love best, with the Wallabies scrambling and their defensive system in tatters. Then it just become raw play skill of the Fijians v scrambling Wallabies, with players like Jorgersen having to track across from the other side of the field.

In short it was a shocker from Lolesio who should have just punched it into the top left corner..

 

[Wilson]

Forward from Wright but will take it

 

[Derpus]

Jorgo is it

 

[LeCheese]

Forward from Wright but will take it

It appears we will not take it

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Jorgo got the freak in him though. Always there. Had the earlier run as well.

 

[Major Tom]

I’m not sure he can pass left to right.

 

[Ignoto]

Second time he's thrown a shit pill.

 

[Dctarget]

Way to ruin a Jorgeous try

 

[Wilson]

Look, I can't complain about them going back for this, but why does it take so long to decide to look at it?

 

[Rugby Head]

Basic school boy errors

 

[Shiggins]

Just say it's a forward pass move on. Taking way to long

 

[Derpus]

This TV director sucks lol.
