3. Kerevi 2. Cooper 1. Hooper

This is incredible play by the Eagles. Their attack is All Blacks-esque - multiple offloads, miracle passes that stick, clever kicks that generate tries out of nowhere. Everything that's been MIA from Australian rugby recently. And backed up by a really strong scrum.

30 unanswered points in the second half after leading 32-16 at the break. QC (Quade Cooper) won't be happy with themselves for that capitulation.

Three tries in 10 minutes to the Rising. Don't have the video available so can't see what happened - sloppy work from QC (Quade Cooper)?

I've never seen Maranta play but the Reds seem to have enough outside backs so I'm not sure why they feel they need him. They have Hunt, CFS, Kuridrani, Laloifi (I assume) and Nabuli, and then guys like Banks and Perese who are surely better options than an NRL winger. From what I can google...

3. Genia 2. Folau 1. Cooper

Starting the year with 5 lost tests in a row. When's the last time that happened I wonder? We did play better, we didn't drop the ball nearly as much, we weren't quite as woeful in defence. But if I had to use a single word to describe the Wallabies' style of play under Cheika it would be...

That Cooper-Folau play is the first time I've seen the Wallabies play their 2011 style game this year. If they'd been playing like that all night it might have been a different story. Cooper has done enough tonight to show he deserves to be 10 for the next match IMO. Pocock goes up to shake...

Beautiful run by Genia, no support... biggest difference between the Wallabies and the ABs.

Half time assessment: Positives: - Much better kicking, thanks to players who can kick further than 30m - Showing intent to mix it up a bit with crossfield kicks etc - Scrum holding okay Negatives: - Still missing far too many tackles - Stupid shit - Moore mouthing off, Coleman - Lineout is...

What a dumb yellow. If the Wallabies would just cut out all this stupid shit they'd be in with a real shot.

Reece Hodge you hero.

Cane inherits the invisibility cloak of Black 7. Breakdown laws don't apply to him.

It looks like Pocock has been reffed out of the game by changes to breakdown interpretations. Awesome intercept by Genia.

Phil Kearns, the most one-eyed commentator in world rugby, just called the All Blacks to win. When that happens you know things are bad.

The problem IMO isn't the Giteau Clause, it just needs to be more judiciously applied. Just because you have a bunch of European players available doesn't mean you bring them all home, particularly backs who are well into their 30s when there are viable options at home. They should only be...

3. Genia 2. Mumm 1. Phipps

To'omua must have failed his concussion test, so is that an automatic rest for next week? I don't recall the current status of the concussion rules.

Phipps beat 4 players for that try - wasting his talents at scrumhalf!

If Kuridrani doesn't finally get dropped after this woeful display I don't know what he has to do to manage it. The only Wallaby player I think can walk off this pitch with something like his head held high is Genia. He's managed to get good quick ball all night, something that ordinarily...
