I'd like to see the Wallabies protect Pocock a bit more this weekend. He was getting mugged out there on a consistent basis. Perhaps a bit of a shoulder in the back of an errant Ireland player who's trying it on might send the message. Either that or have the captain turn around to the ref and point it out every time it happens.

Mate Hooper pointing out cheating would be hilarious, the guy is always holding players back and carrying on when the ball is gone.

It's a joke, right? Who was holding who last week?
Hooper pointing out cheating vs Irish pointing out cheating, calling holding back cheating, Jeez and you think the Irish come off worse? Um.
No.

Hooper almost never does that. I'd say 'never' but I haven't seen every minute Hooper played. He goes where the ball is, as fast as his little legs will carry him.

Pocock's headgear didn't accidentally fall off a few times because he is a poor judge of what kit to wear into a test match.

Um?
Er, actually...“The Velcro is actually worn,” Pocock explained. “I need to get it replaced."
“A woman came up who had an older headgear that I’d given away,” Pocock said. “It was better than the one I was wearing.”
Sensing an opportunity, Pocock began chatting with the woman and they came to an agreement; a good old-fashioned trade.
“So I actually swapped it around,” said Pocock with a grin. “I’ll definitely wear that headgear in Melbourne. I’ve only got a couple. I’ll try and get the most life of it.”

512km radar at 1330 Melbourne time. A band of light rain a few hours out then clear skies.

Damm. So he is a poor judge of what to wear into the most important game of the year to date. And people tout him as captain material!

It happens when you take a year off without pay!
He should be able to afford new ones soon.

Well Stockdale at least is injured (although is expected for the 3rd test) and the starting hooker from last week was benched due to poor performance (viewed as being too small at 101 kg and being the reason for the scrum penalty in the 69th minute).

A much improved side. Only person dropped due to form was the Hooker Cronin (sp?). And, relatively unfairly imo.
That side is at least 10 points better than the last side they ran out.

He's still captain material, it's just the velcro that isn'tDamm. So he is a poor judge of what to wear into the most important game of the year to date. And people tout him as captain material!

Interesting that the blame for the scrum penalty in the 69th minute was put on Cronin for losing his bind on Furlong, some would have you believe that it was Robertson deliberately wheeling the scrum which is obviously not the view of the Irish coaching staff.

The way some commentators speak, it's actually a wonder that the other 14 players need to turn up at all.
