Latu deserved his starting spot with consistently good performances......... Uelese though was largely invisible, and showed no signs of his 2017 form......... shouldn't have featured so regularly ahead of Fainga'a whose form was way ahead, and stronger in the set piece.

I know I'm statin the bleating obvious......... but Phipps wasn't the next best halfback option, and certainly wouldn't have done any better than White or Genia.

Onward and upwards............ Hopefully we can get in a good coaching setup. A few notable players we'll miss as they were hitting their peak - Arnold, Kerevi, Latu.......... But quite a number of good young players coming through, and our junior and schoolboy teams have been excelling...

Eh?! Rodda (and Arnold) has been exceptional........... Coleman has been poor the last couple of years, and was lucky to be in the squad.

Indeed, the consistency in selections have been.......... bizarre. If we had won tonight I think any combination of Genia/White with Lilo/Foley/To'omua would've happened next week, depending on the alignment of Saturn.

Thread turning ugly way too early into the night.........

Nah........ Cheika and his support staff definitely get to share in the blame.

Yes, against England in 1995 and 2007.........

Nah, I can't buy that......... the Wallabies coaching staff/selections/tactics have been poor. We should be a much better team.

Well, based on the last four years that was a fairly predictable result for the Wallabies.........

AAA led Super Rugby this year for the most forced penalties in the scrum, whereas Tupou was the most penalised prop (and overall player) in the comp..........

It’s probably because AAA is an all round better player - better scrummager, has a massive work rate for a prop, and is also a decent ball carrier............ And also less likely to give away dumb penalties.

Naisarani was our primary lineout target against Georgia...........

Oakie doakie.........

I don't believe the referees have been officially announced yet.........

That only gives us two proper lineout jumpers......... We need Naisarani or LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) in there.

And ultimately the rules of the RWC explicitly state that a game can not be rescheduled for another day.........

Well, that was satisfying.........

Maybe the Brumbies Runners.........

I think this game once again highlighted how good Rodda (huge game) and Arnold are (our best locking combo for some time), and how much we're going to miss Arnold next year............ Some good young locks coming through but not ready for this level yet.
