Nice team. I'd probably start White over Genia as I think Genia's impact off the bench is much better, and White services is a bit faster which is better served at the start of the match.

3. Petaia 2. Kuridrani 1: Toupou

Nah I wish Barrett wasn't Red Carded in Perth, as I feel the wallabies would have went on to win it anyway with the momentum they had that day. The win would have been better 15 v 15.

Well said. I fear scrums are one of the sticking points of rugby right now, especially the amount of time taken for re-sets and penalties given.

I agree. Kerevi has shown some of a distribution game in the past, I just seems to have deteriorated. His ball-running is second to none.

No. I'm happy to grant a 13 the shortcoming of a lack of distribution game but not a 12. Herbert, Mortlock, AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper), Horne, Folau, Kuridrani - have really all had this problem to a degree. A 12 who doesn't pass has never been successful at the highest level for long periods of time. Anyways...

You're ignoring they are playing in different positions. A 12 who can't pass is more of a worry then a 13 who can't pass.

I am loving the Japanese style of play, so entertaining!

TK also plays 13, and Kerevi 12. So the expectation for passing is probably a lower at 13, especially if one of the wingers you are passing to is AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). TK's lack of passing has never been as big of an issue, I'd say he does it often on a 2 v 2 with a winger outside him but rarely ignores an...

Most concerning..whites decision making was pretty atrocious in the first half.

I think 10. To'omua 12. JOC (James O'Connor) 13. Kuridrani is much more logical. To'omua has recent good form in the 10 jersey and much more experience controlling a game. JOC (James O'Connor) very little experience at 10 compared to To'omua. I think it's worth a look.

Kerevi is gone next year, so no doubt Kuridrani will be back since he's been a consistent performer in the 13 jersey for a number of years. He just needs a passing 12 inside him.

Well overall a pretty underwhelming performance. You expect more against a teir 2 opposition, and from players supposedly pushing for starting spots.

Dempsey getting better

Who's Captain? Pocock?

TUPOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So sick of these TMO's... even tho it's the right call.... just so many damn stoppages

Poor ruck security cost us that try.

To be fair a mixed bag from Kurtley. Few nice touches with ball in hand.

we are soooooo bad at the breakdown.
