Wallabies v Lions Game 2 MCG 26 July

[Shiggins]

Watching Wilson in the post patch. Anyone who says these guys don't give their all when they put the wallabies jersey on can fuck off

Bank or pay debt….

It doesn’t really matter, it’s a $100m improvement on the balance sheet. They now need to use it the right way.

 

[rugbyAU]

That old chestnut.

It’s always true though

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Hooper more so than CdC, but I agree with the sentiment about two No 7s. When will these bloody coaches learn the obvious?

Either or really. Just the balance was stuffed.

Don’t know if anyone is doing that. Their all just isn’t good enough. They give it though.

Don’t lose sight that this is a Lions series and we are apparently going to bank $100m. It’s not like we lost to Georgia on the Gold Coast or something.

but we still lost, just like we always fucking lose. And now we get a glorified training run in 7 days and then get on a plane to get pummelled by South Africa

Australian Rugby needed this series. It was the whole point of agreeing to everything Schmidt asked for, including giving his mate the job after him. We do we go from here?

Yeah, we’ve found our long term captain

He gave his all but he had a shocker

What is the right way?

Exactly, despite how well we played in H1, I can only see us beating one tier 1 nation this year - Argentina

 

[Linerunner2023]

Only thing that puts my sanity to ease is that Valetini did feel something so they held him off the 2nd half
Far out we missed him in the 2nd half

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

He’s a slightly above average player. Great in Super Rugby but just a guy in the Test arena v genuine guns.

All ticker, great natural skills.

hahahaa good luck

Big call, I call a wooden spoon to be honest.

 

[PhilClinton]

I honestly reckon that one was the end of professional rugby Aus.

I don’t think it’s that bad.

A convincing win in Sydney would be nice. Although it is unlikely, making Maro eat his words around them still having levels would be good.

 

[KOB1987]

You can’t argue that rugby in Australia is in a much better place than it was in October 2023. The officiating sucks but that’s not an Aussie specific problem, it definitely makes it hard to win fans here though.

 

[Linerunner2023]

Even after my penalty ranting, as I said, huge drop off in our attack and structure once Skelton and Valetini are off.

This might sound like a broken record but LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) for Williams on the bench in Sydney is the move. Skelton wanted to fuck blokes up, LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) wants to fuck blokes up. We need that.

Agree you need blokes to hate blokes and bully them around
LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) will bring that off the bench

Nah. We are gonna win the bledisloe back.

I also think we’re gonna win next week

 

[KOB1987]

What is the right way?

Developing and retaining local talent.

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

I just feel so sad - such a shit call. We did enough to earn that win.
