2nd Test Wallabies v France 8pmTuesday 13th July,

[Dctarget]

Took a while to fill up, are they temp testing everyone on the way in or something?

Strangely the crowd control was bizarre, they barred anyone from
Entering till after the game started so none of us got to our seats till 5 mins in.

 

[dru]

People are going to complain, but I don't mind that from Wright.

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

I've not been impressed with Valetini so far. He doesn't offer the abrasion in defence that the Wallabies need. His attack is not much better.

 

[Pass it to Dunning!]

Just confirming all the people in here that rip Hooper apart more than they do anyone else, saw that turnover?

Australia is the only country where Hooper isn't considered one of the best players in the world.

 

[swingpass]

Once again french tackler lying at the back of the ruck interfering with gordon

 

[dru]

Who have we on the bench for MK? Ikitau?

 

[tragic]

You mean the one where he had hands on the ground not supporting his body weight and should have been penalised?

 

[Wilson]

Kellaway

Gordon's service is visibly slowing. Gotta be thinking "when" for Tate.

 

[Adam84]

Bloody hell these French players aren’t properly releasing before having a go at the ball, slowing the ball down

 

[footy1>31]

Jesus Noah, own it mate

 

[PhilClinton]

Tom Wright slowly watching his ARU top up roll away from his fingers just like the ball tonight

Release is optional it seems.

You mean the one where he had hands on the ground not supporting his body weight and should have been penalised?

So basically every French turnover in this game?

 

[dru]

And then the energetic defenders through the ruck become lazy runners back through the ruck.

 

[Up the Guts]

Wow the old penalty when the ball is out

 

[cyclopath]

Gordon's service is visibly slowing. Gotta be thinking "when" for Tate.

I'm tipping 55 mins still, but sooner would work too. Gordon has been better, McDermott could carve up here with structure loosening.

 

[rugboy]

We will miss MK

 

[footy1>31]

2 pretty meaningless box kicks

 

[Drew]

And then the energetic defenders through the ruck become lazy runners back through the ruck.

How is he not seeing it??? Gordon’s tripped over them on numerous occasions, some of the turnovers are a direct result of them hindering the cleanout
