Australia A - Back on the Cards

How is Jock Campbell in at 11 when Muirhead is in the squad

Campbell should be 15 but after seeing this performance I think they actually need some experience in Hodge.

The handling has been woeful. I can only assume its the heat and humidity,

Pollard is having a shocker in the lineout but i've also seen some of those called not straight let go in other games. Still no excuse.

 

[Froggy]

Well that was ordinary in so many ways, and not only the reffing and commentating.
Pollard's lineout throws, McReight's penalties, Lonergan's poor passing, Mark N (Nawaqanitawase)'s handling, Hodge coming in off his man and not trusting the man inside him, resulting in a try. Aus A props, Seru Eru and Foketi the only ones that can be remotely happy with that performance.

Yeah with that you'd think they'd just keep it pretty simple.. but it's a shit show.. although we maybe expecting to much from Aus A.

I'm expecting professional athletes to execute the basics of their position and of the game in which they are paid to play. Which they are not to the level they should at present.

Question above why Campbell is in 11 when Muirhead is in the squad. I think Muirhead actually withdrew, maybe injured?

Not all lineout problems are down to Pollard. Couple of throws on the mark lost by the catcher. But poor lineout effort all round.

I mean yeah I expect it from professionals but it's not like this lot out there have been showing us any different all season... So...errr your expectations are to high..

Terrible call on the obstruction from McCrate

Look let's hope just getting more game time is good for this bunch.. better then sitting in the stands or running out in QPR

 

[Thalium]

Bit damning of our supposed depth this

I’m harsh because I was expecting better and more but in all fairness this is all about building that depth.

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

What is the score?

We get it, you don’t like McReight

McCrate*

 

[Thalium]

Just not today but there is still game time left to surprise me

None of this team were in any danger of being picked in the top 23 or even 30 players in Oz except for McReight, literally at best 4th best player in there position sometimes 6th or 7th.

Playing like the Waratahs of last year.
