Qwerty is harsh, but hardly wrong, it came down to 4 players. Placid's individual try in the first half, Kellaway's ankle tap kept you in the game in the first half, otherwise you would have been down by at least 14, rather than 2. Orr put in a great performance off the bench both physically...

Re: props, Orr looks like a beast. You guys should sign him up before someone else does.

Edinburgh offered him a 3 year deal, but he had to remain internationally unattached, so he would be eligible at the end of his contract. Glasgow offered slightly less cash (fractionally so), but matched the length and said he can decide his own international future. He'll be at Glasgow come...

Horne should have started. As classy as Vellacott is, George is a wee livewire. On a somewhat positive note, there's enough '96 births in the squad to make the experience worth it. Final score 31-21, Aussies shoukd count themselves lucky, and we're left wondering what if. Got a lot that can...

It's a hammering and it really really shouldn't be. No energy or enthusiasm left, you should get another 2 or 3 before the game is over.

First 2 tries after the break were all good work, and you deserve to be winning based on that, but he's given you a really easy ride fir tge kast 10 minutes or so,

Ref is not to blame, but christ, he's not really watching the game, canary hands all over that ruck. Got an odd interpretation of high tackles too.

All gone to shit. I'd go to bed, but I'm not sleeping and there's 20 to go.

Orr driving sideways. Ref standing on the wrong side. Not even gonna comment on the card.

McInerney over. I dared to dream, but some selfish play, some bottled nerves and a timely sub have swung the momentum. Aus lead 17-7 and look to be significantly more cohesive.

Momentum lost. Big boy gets over the line from a maul. Conversion missed, you guys lead 10-7.

We have had the worst development of any teir 1 nation. No academies. About 20 boys from 18-22 got any sort of financial support each year before professional level. Last year we had the weakest domestic development system outside the islands in this comp. Tjis year it's only Samoa we're worse...

Sa'aga has Fagerson for raw power on the couple of occasions that the scrum has been going their way, but on a technical level Zander is scrummaging like a vet. Poor kick to end the half Kinghorn needs to be pulled, he's not handling the pressure well.

Backs aren't classy enough to make use of good forward work. 9/10 axis is ok, but centers are just big, wings are just fast, fullback can just kick.

Exactly what I'd said. Game opens up, 2 consecutive counter attacks and you guys even up the scoreboard. More or less.

If the game opens up for an extended period of time you guys will win. Our best backs are Vellacott and Horne, and while the rest aren't too shabby, none of them have the pure quality of Paia'aua, Kellaway or Placid. That's a mighty forward pack through. 5 of the starting 8 are professionally...

That's fine I guess. But GS was playing for Lyon this season and for Wasps next season. Hasn't played for Suntory in about 16 months.
