    Australia v NZ. Bledisloe Cup Series 2024. Sep 21, Sep 28

    Completely agree on Toole. And fwiw I rate Donaldson and Gordon as our best performing halves. It just would have made diddlesquat difference tonight. imo.

    Refereeing decisions

    ? Maybe I'm an idiot. Hinging and losing your feet are like the opposite spectrum of a prop failing. I don't see how you could get them mixed.

    I did say "mostly" and Frost is not a back. Which was my central point. Seriously Derpus, do you think we would have been markedly improved by ditching Koroibete for Pietsch and with Toole on the bench? Or swapping the halves (which by the way I think Gordon and Donaldson have been our recent best).

    And like specifically, none of that would have given the Wallabies a better result. Even if I did agree, which I don't. The easy improvements here are totally in the forwards, and mostly not about replacing selections.

    Geez, I suspect I've seen much worse from White, the "slap to football/soccer rolling around the floor in faux agony" is probably not the only one. And I think I can remember a Wallaby throwing someone's shoe off the pitch, once. "Not straight"? pfft.

    OK dreadful fopah extending my own post, but wtf, yes I do know where to start. Our set piece was diabolical. I don't get it because we have shown at different times an ability to be effective in both scrum (and maul) and line out. There is a major snafu going on here somewhere. It has nothing...

    I'd run with it though. Different times.

    Mate, if I have your thoughts right, you've left the pack largely as is, but willfully attacked the backs? Don't know where to start with that.

    I thought the ref was good. As usual I'm not convinced on the video ref involvements. Ref's conversation was pretty clear, he allowed a reasonably free-flowing game. too much time out for water at the end but only over injuries. Ref calls could easily have determined that game, but didn't. He...

    mate I'd take K over Pietsch at 11. It's gopt little to do with how Pietsch goes in the open, nor having a higher ceiling. Pietsch will get there, but I definitely prefer Koroibete at 11 in traffic.

    Don't know where to start with that game. Kiwis really should have blasted that game. Cards brought Wallabies back into it - more than good play, but still there was a step up to finish the game out. Our set piece and the pack d just needs to do better through the first 30. Actually all game...

    Test #1 against the Pumas seemed to me to feature the bench successfully, complete capitulation in Test #2 to the Pumas. And against the ABs we came forward from the bench. Weird.
