Commentator "There's a try for the forwards... In fact it is the scrum half Harrison Goddard."

Lol, Australia leading 7-0 after 25 minutes.

Happy to go in only a converted try down.

On the basis of the earlier game, the wind is playing a reasonable part, and when your boys actually used it, it was pretty damn effective.

Half time Australia 10 (Harrison Goddard 1try, 1 conversion & 1 penalty) Scotland 3 (Connor Eastgate 1 penalty)

I have been impressed with the Aussies work at the breakdown when the Scots have the ball.

A better ref would have been giving a couple of penalties against Wright.

Brilliant timing, but always has the elbows on the ground or the tackled player.

Fix that up and he'll be a future International for sure.

Good call Highlander35 Eastgate's kicking has been very important so far in second half.

A fair few similarities with yesterday's game. I am a big fan of Stewart but he looks the weak link in the Australian team. Too deep, constantly just shuffling balls and kick options poor. Good education for the kid tho.

Oz need a second playmaker, Scotland is applying enormous pressure to Stewart and its disrupting the whole backline, plenty of good ball runners for Australia but only the one playmaker.

I wouldn't say he is the weak link, he is the playmaker of the backline and he is getting targetted effectively, he needs players like Tuipulotu or McNamara to alleviate some of the pressure and make themselves another option.

Not whinging too much here, but there is something about dark colours (Scotland & nz); we grab around neck collapse a mural penalty; Scotland do it play on.

He needs to flatten up his play and bring his big runners into the game, a few inside balls wouldn't go a miss. He's just shuffling the ball, not directing play or being a play maker. He's just shuffling the ball doing neither. It's like watching a video game with the side to side tactics

can't pass to runners who aren't there, they set up to shift it wide and that's there only game plan. Scotland like Italy are using rush defence to shut down the outside backs and the Australians don't shift their point of attack, just keep the same running lines.

its a problem with this backline, Tuipulotu isn't a 12, and Perese isn't a 13, they both should have been shifted one position out, this team needs a second playmaker.

They aren't there because the ball isn't been taken to the line. He took the line on more against Italy in the second half with massive results. If the 10 isn't going forward the others won't.

Perese and tuipulotu are easy targets 2/3 out with the rush d. The wingers have also barely touched the ball.

Ok, the outside backs are running great lines, it must all be the 5/8's fault

One think we can take out of this is that our forwards are up with the best. However our backs (except for Goddard) are lill bit behind especially with speed n space.
