Fox sports says it's A

To announce that he is fitter than most of the starting 15, he understands cheikas game plan and is making a comeback

Mumm's arguing that the ARU can't afford to drop a team, and is probably right. But does Mumm think the ARU can afford to keep 5 teams? He avoids that qn. What if both are correct? The ARU can neither afford to maintain the status quo nor pay for the changes needed to make it...

Hard one 3 naivalu 2 Folau 1 Coleman

Out of jail. Should never have been this close

Reckon jack quigley is on the turps yet?

Timami is second row, because we are smashing them in the scrims already...

What's the chances of a scrum penalty here, to them

Fuck, we have been sloppy this half. Now the game is well and truly on.

What was that izzy?

I jinxed it

We are playing well now. Sure Italy are porous but you still have to take the opportunities

And we're in! Hands and speed makes it look easy

I guess we could have had a worse start...........

BH, I originally thought Hooper should have kicked it too, but the Aus support players were too far away to be any chance of retrieving the kick or even pressuring the Scotland retrievers (there are 5 already back in line with Hooper on the second to last photo, in addition to the two tacklers)...

Finn does very well for the scots. He is second to get to Hooper (after only the Scotland fullback). Very good effort from him. Look at this last photo, the scots have a reasonable defensive line set before Higgers even attempts to clean out the ruck. Scots win this sequence (starting from...

The maul goes no where, other than spinning around some. Hooper's breakout takes everyone by surprise. The scots react far more quickly. They have to turn and chase. While Higgers and Hunt are giving up 2-3m to them, they are already on the front foot. Kuridrani chases also but runs an outside...

Thought I would bring the Hooper breakout discussion back here. The Hooper breakout from the maul happens in the 28th minute. It's straight after the Genia charge down try. From the restart, Finn clears from within his own 22 and finds touch on our 22 (the joys of having kickers who can kick...

Horne is the only surprise to me. The other changes are positive, even Moore - my guess is that latu will get a gig on the bench. Personally I would have rested hanigan before Higgers. One thing that is not a surprise is we can't name a bench. The novelty on this has worn off - Why is it so...

Not the Scots, they had to turn and chase (dis-engage from the maul) and still beat us there. In any event, I'm not criticising any particular players or their effort. I think our game plan is based around structure and phase play for our point scoring opportunities. Other teams are...
