Watching that replay of DHP's drop ball: that was absolutely criminal. I wouldn't mind seeing him serve a stint at Silverwater for that one.

This times a thousand. I adore these two giants. What the fuck were we doing faffing around with workhorses like Simmons and 'impact players' like Skelton when you can just have both in Arnold and Coleman.

I think whats giving Foley so much space to work a bit of magic is the carries in the midfield. Timani, Arnold and Coleman are having monster games. We've got grunt we haven't seen in the pack for years.

"Hey boys our shape, hey boys, hey boys, hey boys our shape. Our shape" Hahaha. Future Wallabies captain right there.

Halfpennies had a bit of whatever Foleys been sipping on throughout the week.

Foley's in a goal kicking form slump. Not good at all for a NH tour.

Foley with the inside ball, Hodge with the sexy angle, Folau to interplay to finish it all off. This inside ball is systematic and its working. Really liking our attacking patterns with the inside passes / cross field kicks.

Fucking Hodge you gun. Lighting it up tonight.

Theres no flow to this game. We're running semi-opposed backline moves but its getting towards the end of training, concentration is low and we're fucking it up right at the end. This has been a problem for Australia all year. We regularly make linebreaks against every team we come up against...

Hahaha fuck me DHP. You were going so so well.

Benefits of having a 18m tall 2nd rower? He can charge the ball down from the next suburb.

We are looking delightful at the moment. Everyones looking superb out there. Beautiful little deft ball from Hodge. I'd like to see a few more of these opportunities converted though. Timani with the lineout take!

Wales getting away with murder at the ruck. We're looking great in attack so far. Great physicality from the Welsh though. World Rugby refs need to learn the rules regarding contesting rucks. That Welsh penalty was 3 points that shouldn't have been. You have to be the tackler to contest the...

Fantastic offload from Folau following that delightful little chip from Foley - nice to see us mixing up the point of attack early to put some doubt in the Wales defence (inside ball to Hooper from the lineout another example).

I must be used to it - my housemates and I can't afford Foxtel so we permanently livestream onto our TV from one of my housemate's parents Foxtel account. Clunky free Foxtel as a student is better than no Foxtel.

I'm streaming onto Foxtel play and its ok so far - a tad clunky but no huge concerns as of yet. Commentary / pundits are fairly dry though. Wheres Kearns? Scrums / hookers haven't been mentioned nearly enough yet. I'm getting withdrawals. Edit: Production / camera angles seem a bit off...

I think the biggest problem for the Wallabies this year is not the standard of play, but a drop in confidence following several losses and a constant shellacking in the press. I actually think for most of the RC and especially the beginning of the England series we looked quite good (I was blown...

Same with Tom Robertson and Allan Ala'alatoa. 12 months back these guys were hoping for Super Rugby jerseys and now they've all gotten 5+ test caps under their belt and a paid trip around Europe. I'd trade a lot for that experience.

Back to the game - these three hours will feel like an eternity. Theres nothing like a Spring tour - new competition every week and largely variant playstyles. It also helps that we're expected to win a fair few of the games.

As I said over in the Brumbies thread, Beale is forever Tahs property (whilst in Australia). We lent him to the Rebels and that went fucking terribly. We gave them our favourite toy and they bloody broke it*. Plus I'm not sure if Beale would last over there in the Wild West. He's a real latte...
