I don't think they needed too much retrospect for that, but it should hopefully light a real fire under those guys getting another crack on Saturday. Does go to show the difference having a proper 7 on the field makes - Reimer was a big part of keeping the Brumbies in touch with the Lions...

Brumbies get away with one there

No, the Anderson no try was because the ball was on the dead ball line when he put pressure on it, the ball was still live after bouncing off the corner post

Kinghorn, injured early on

Still plenty of rust in these Lions backlines, good to see from a wallabies perspective

The last thing I want to see is the Wallabies tossing out their defensive system less than 2 weeks before the Lions first test, particularly for one that none of the coaching team responsible (Schmidt and Fisher in particular) have never really been proponents of.

Man, Racing 92 have spent some money, and not just on Tupou:

Easier for them to balance with Sua'ali'i being a competent place kicker too, but I suspect they've got the same issues with finding any decent amount of money under the cap space for another back. It also doesn't help much if he's keen to stay close to home.

Really depends on the price he's asking - there's room at the Reds squad right now for another 10/utility, but not really a lot of money to spend on one, unless maybe McLaughlin-Phillips isn't re-signed, but I doubt he's on a lot yet. Unfortunately for Gordon the best way to slot him in is...

I'd be bringing both Edmed and O'Connor in to be honest. I don't have much faith in Edmed as ready for test rugby but he does have that exposure and some combination with Gordon (though they've always looked an unnatural pairing to me). While O'Connor has less exposure to the squad (though he...

Aside from Tom Hooper at 7, I generally wouldn't be unhappy to see that side run out for a test. Certainly not the best we could put out right now, but not crisis level either. Biggest issue at the time was all the chaos in coaching behind it and inconsistency of selection leading up to it...

Lancaster definitely didn't make himself a useful target for Wright, positioning himself on his couch in Sydney to watch the test ;) But I do agree that the issues with Wright's forward passes are more down to the connection between him and Potter, particularly the first one. This will come...

Wallabies statement on Lolesio: https://wallabies.rugby/news/media-statement-noah-lolesio-202578

I wouldn't mind seeing Paisami come into the 23 jersey. Running Daugunu and Sua'ali'i in the centres at the back end of the Fiji game didn't work at all and it's not something they'll have anytime to work on improving. Bringing Paisami in gives us full backline coverage with him covering 12 and...
