I disagree entirely about Moore. Much tighter and higher work rate when he came on. So many here are stuck in noticing a big play or carry, but I suggest you watch the players continually out the back. Timani, Higgers, and TPN are all culprits, and it just isn't acceptable at test level...

Turned off the replay now, too depressing watching out pack. Bit unfair of me singling out Tmani, he wasn't alone in taking too many bludges. TPN and Higgers, and Kepu less often too, all were we'll down on what is expected from forwards in the second ranked team.

Watching the replay and Timani, in particular, closely. Honestly, the guy is a myth. An occasional big tackle or offload or clean out but he spends half his time walking. He ends up wide because he gets up so slowly and walks his way to the defensive line more times than not. How a guy like...

In the forwards, the balance is way out. Too many players who don't play tight enough in TPN, Sharpe, Timani, and Higgers. I'd change the following in the forwards: 1. Robinson out, he is way out of form and seriously struggling. He was walking within the first quarter of the game. A shadow of...

3. Digby 2. Sharpe 1. Genia

Just watched a replay of that 2008 Bledisloe, and the amount of work that Horwill got through was incredible. It put Timani and Higgers combined to shame. That is what we need. The closest is Douglas, why he isn't there is beyond me. Hell, they even saw it at the Tahs and shunted Timani to the...

Have to say that the team we turned out looks a darn sight better than the one tonight, particularly the forward pack. Horwill in particular is sorely missed from those still around, Palu too. Gits and Barnes going well on attack and defence too.

Don't forgot that Deans also need to get some more conditioning into the forwards in the next week, and increase their accuracy at the collisions.

2008 first Bledisloe on now on FoxSports 3 for anyone who wants to see the Wallabies do a bit better. Thorn just got binned. Gee not many players from that Wallaby side played tonight.

Injury. One of the specialist positions that someone needs to be able to play if the started goes down.

Kearns calling for Quade to come in at 10 with Barnes at 12. And admitting that we were destroyed up front and at the breakdown. Cooper would make difference because of two reasons I think: 1) he will do more with the limited ball he gets on the front foot, Barnes was way too conservative and...

Watching the Wallabies press conference is sad. The fitness and intensity of our forwards was the big difference. Think back to the Brisbane Bledisloe last year. Our forwards were intense and in their face, and we won collisions. This game our forwards were walking after about 20 minutes. At...

Yes, agree. Resting on our laurels because of a few close wins over an out of sorts Welsh team was just wrong, especially when it involved picking so many players who were struggling in SupeRugby before and after. The question is, who will Deans do? Will he roll out the same team? The ABs...

Barnes and Genia offer little structure in attack, and our forwards are just as bad. Too slow to realign and offer a good option. I would drop Robinson, TPN and Timani to the bench, Higgers too if Palu is available. In the backs, bring in Cooper damnit. But Deans will do none of this...

Meanwhile, 2 of the 5 forwards remain fairly unused. Why risk not carrying an inside back if you don't use them!

And that's the game folks. Wallabies unstructured and clueless in attack.

It took Rolland so long even.

Wow I can't believe that Rlland to blow that penalty on McCaw.

This should make it a 5 point ball game. My margin is now possible! Barnes and Beale leading our attack has been a massive fail, it has been all Diggers and Genia in the backs.

Barnes winded by the looks. Timani walking in back play. Why Deans why?
