Hooper with his first turnover. Been really busy tonight. Physical game. Quade with his first big mistake as he misses touch.

ABs lineouts is struggling, and Aus scrum is struggling.

Yeah much improved from Robinson too. Hope he had a rocket put up his ass and he has a big one.

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) with a huge tackle saver. SBW went straight at Quade, who had him but Barnes comes in too allowing SBW to offload to a free Carter. Ball goes wide, then a heroic tackle from AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) saves the day.

Carter misses a first penalty, and a fairly easy one at that. Dennis drops the short 22. Hint of being knocked in the air.

Quade defending at 10. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) turned and he places it to the wrong side. Oops!

HIggers work rate already up too. But they slow it down too much and Owens gives a penalty.

Amazing he let Read steal that, unfortunate drop from Dagg on the counter with a huge overlap. Wallaby forwards already manning up better. Moore and Alexander getting involved.

Alexander down already. Hope he can keep it up. Second time he was going forward at least.

Alternate haka, ABs taking it as a serious challenge?

Only about 10 mins to kick off now. Feel a lot more positive than last week. Hope we can make a real good show of it tonight. Getting excited!

What? Like a carpenter? Or maybe a myth?

Moore's year may not have been as outstanding as previous years, but you're missing the other side of the equation. Remind me how TPN went this year in SupeRugby? Bonus points for talking about his last 4 or 5 games in particular.

I would be annoyed if that try was disallowed, and pretty frustrated if the Wallabies had a try disallowed for a similar circumstance. I think it was Horne that was taken out, but it didn't affect play at all as the ball was passed well behind where he was taken out and it quickly travelled...

If no time is three months, then right on!

You don't ignore a problem because it wasn't the only one. If you are struggling for fitness and conditioning at the end of a SupeRugby season, you are being overly optimistic if you think that you can turn it around in 3 - 4 weeks with the national side and no club games in between. Kepu...

Are you referring to where Timani watched Read run past him, only for Read to drop the ball cold? That was just poor positioning from Timani, and it doesn't even go down as a missed tackle as he didn't get to attempt one.

Some issues with that ranking, I'll just post the most obvious ones. How did TPN get at 4? If all you want from a hooker is to throw straight in a line out, then you could have selected a few Subbies hookers to do the job. I actually rate Moore's 25 or so minute effort off the bench as...

Anyone know if the new rules will be in place next year? In that case, two props, one LHP and one THP, will probably be on the bench.

Agree. I'd take the entire front row from the ABs twice over before ours last night. One of the hallmarks of the Wallabies in recent history was struggling in the scrum but the front row would really get around the field. Last night we did neither. The other difference was the speed of the...
