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

[dru]

Fuck me. Anything goes on the ground in the ruck until you are at D on the line.

Have to re-set to the ref having different interpretations in different places.

 

[TSR]

Valetini made a couple of key stops in that little passage.

 

[Up the Guts]

A net win

 

[A mutterer]

Valetini made a couple of key stops in that little passage.

Valetini has definitely grown into the game, particularly coming in a bit tighter

 

[Joe King]

Watch the French support in broken play compared to ours.

 

[TSR]

2 pretty meaningless box kicks

Yeah - but the chase on the second one was even worse.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Jesus Noah, own it mate

Not a good look screams I don’t like contact or it’s not my job. Is a pity because is has been growing into the role.

 

[cyclopath]

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

55 mins it is!!

Valetini has definitely grown into the game, particularly coming in a bit tighter

\Those stops were out wider I thought.

 

[dru]

We were lucky there to not only lose 3 not 6, but if the ref kept blowing advantage we weren't far from a card.

 

[Tomikin]

Maul it straight over boys

 

[A mutterer]

hooper you beast!

 

[dru]

How far has Aussie set piece come? Tupou off and the replacement immediately stamping his name on the scrum.

Now THAT is rugby.

 

[Wilson]

Shocking lineout, jumpers and lifters completely confused on the call

 

[TSR]

Valetini has definitely grown into the game, particularly coming in a bit tighter

He’s been a bit quiet - but I do think he’s been doing plenty of work at the breakdown.

I think everyone just wants him flattening guys, but sometimes he just needs to do truck loads of unglamorous stuff and if he can add a couple of crucial tackles he’ll have done his job.

Speaking of doing his job - did Hooper just run down the fullback?

 

[tragic]

Just need to play for territory and wait for the penalty

 

[Adam84]

This is a disheartening game to watch I’m afraid, solid defence but execution in attack is just woeful, the unforced errors are unacceptable and some players deserve to be sent back to clubland after this game.

 

[Drew]

Too much tackling the ball and not the legs

 

[todd4]

hooper you beast!

Hooper's like a cattle dog. He just keeps working.

 

[Joe King]

I'll say it again, watch the French support compared to Wallabies.
