I’m going to have to put on my Brumbies goggles, although to be fair he’s now a Rebel so to hell with him.............. But if you want a halfback for his box kick and all round reliability - Powell would be a big step up from Gordon.

I have to agree with BR - Simmons was probably our best forward tonight. Hodge and Paisami also going alright at 10-12......... Paisami especially. Korobeite wasn’t having one of his best games and should’ve gone off instead of Wright... Petaia made some great breaks in the first half, but...

Eh?

They were? I seem to recall them being bested in several aspects of forward play.........

They may initially revert back to 2019 backrow......... 6. Valetini 7. Cusack 8. Samu

The Pumas didn’t really have anything in attack but they just did a lot of simple things really well that the Wallabies have certainly struggled with recently, such as effective cleanouts leading to quick recycle ball, strong set piece (particularly the lineout), good defence and making your...

This thread is finally headed in the right direction.........

To be fair, making reference to Trump’s habitual lying is not so much expressing a political opinion, but rather pointing out an everyday scientific fact............ such as the earth is round, and Discipline is the best King Crimson album.

3. Hooper 2. Koroibete 1. Philip

First capped by the Brumbies in 2007, Wallaby tourist in 2008, capped in 2009......... Spent most of his career here injured, until Jake White took over in 2012 and finally got some consistent playing time in his last two years.

My main criticism was that for the most part of the first half we were being beaten up around the breakdown, and were under too much pressure on our own ball.......... And again being schooled in mauling. Overall the scrum was very good once again - shame about Slipper though........ Tupou...

Sad.........

I’d like to see him given another crack if he can get through a half of rugby..........

I thought a number of players earned their reprieve tonight, and some quality performances off the bench.......... Lolesio looked so much sharper without the added pressure of starting. McDermott really should be given a start next match. Wright solid in his debut.......... Swinton not so...

Peter Kimlin?

These seem like desperate selections........... White to box kick the shit out of the ball?

Caderyn Neville has been called into the squad with LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in doubt.......... https://www.rugby.com.au/news/2020/11/02/wallabies-send-brumbies-lock-caderyn-neville-sos-after-lukhan-salakaia-loto-injury-bledisloe-cup

Yep, we need to add some physicality to the backrow........... let's send him out there with the intention of smashing rucks and AB ball runners. I wouldn't mind seeing Wright given a second chance at well, but let's not pack him at no 8 again.

Generally, would agree........ but there's been a few big tests against the likes of England and New Zealand (again on the weekend), where he has been unreliable.
