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

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

Had his hands on the ground when he just chased down the halfback too?

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.

Too much "playing what is in front" flair. Not enough control.

Enjoying the game though. Tough winning it though.

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

All I saw was the ref standing there refusing to blow a penalty while Banks had his hands on the ball

Once again the breakdown reffing is completely baffling

 

[dru]

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

The strike back is scripted and planned. But that comes off their D which is simply awesome and the base of their game.

 

[dru]

To'omua is back at pretty much top form.

 

[TSR]

I’m liking Swain. Good to see a young bloke getting stuck in.

 

[dru]

Swain!!!

Yep trying to play up-tempo but failing to do the basics first.

 

[TSR]

Good clean out by McDermott. I’m guessing he didn’t learn that from Genia.

 

[Tomikin]

Dacy Swain ... get in there son

 

[dru]

The call used to be "breakaway to half!" Now it is natural - either 3 or 18.

 

[dru]

Yep trying to play up-tempo but failing to do the basics first.

It is a step in the right direction though. This is a good step forward.

 

[Happy]

Amazing difference in ruck refereeing

 

[Up the Guts]

Some appalling hesitancy to call a penalty. McDermott impeded from making his way back onside, blatant offsides, and no attempt to support bodyweight/not rolling away.

 

[Wilson]

Ikitau on for his debut

 

[dru]

I thought BPA was great, but like Gordon it was time for the bench. Go well Lonergan.

 

[Ignoto]

Kerevi coming back on the inside would be lethal against this rush defence. Sigh.

 

[Alex Sharpe]

I dont see how LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) is getting full games while Matty Philip is getting hooked early.

 

[A mutterer]

doleman apparently can finally hear the calls from his touchies

someone's had a word
