I'm sure the SIW brigade will be on here later talking up Giteau and giving him points for being one of Australia's best. He is truly wretched, an absolute horror show.

As is typical, the Wallaby backs are killing us. Their white line fever, poor support play, and lack of patience is infuriating to watch.

Well Ist half is over and we've gone from the penthouse to the shithouse in 20 minutes. Good news is the short passing game is exceptionally good. and our lineout is superior. the scrum is dfoing okay and even has a tight head! the backs have lost there way once Barnes left and Giteau took over thing went pear shaped.

Did you like the one where he caught the ball ran sideways and threw the ball behind Tahu!

We need to play Eddie Jones rugby. Hold onto the ball. Stop running away from your support. Play in their half.

Again with the aimless up and unders that hand ball back to the opposition ?

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) just ran to the line kicked the ball 10 metres and didn't chase!

Forwards are clearly getting hammered and I'm not even watching it :D What's wrong with Barnes?

Have Italy scored 3 drop goals? :-\ Says something like that on Sky text

30 -20 to Oz final score. I said all along we didn't show them enough respect still a good hit out for the second stringers.

Final Score - Aus 30 Italy 20.

A master class in Wallabies playing down to the level of their opposition. The worst culprit being Giteau.

I think Deans will be very happy with that. He blooded a heap of new caps, found out a heap of things about a few players and saw how much better the back line works with a flyhalf on the field.

Are you taking the piss ? There's nothing to be happy about - we should have flogged them by 40 points.

Terrible game to watch. Only entertainment value was seeing Ben Alexander boring in at every scrum.

What did he find out?

AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) is not a fullback?

Morty is getting too old?

Timana is not ready?

Gits aint a ten?

Moore gives away silly penalties?

Mumm is fantastic. As is Brown.

We have pretty good bloody depth at lock.

Waugh is a yesterday man?

Mid field kicks is not the best option as a counter attack.

I know how did he get away with that. Lawrence was letting us get away with murder in the scrum!

Think you're tough on Moore and too kind to the locks. Brown is the penalty magnet to worry about, though I am enjoying his attitude.

Agreed on the rest - Waugh is completely off the pace and is done. If I see another midfield up and under, I'm going postal.

Well I would be interested in other's opinions but I thought he looked lead footen in attack and defense. I thought his handling was poor. And I'm now starting to question his leadership skills.

I'm prepared to say that Cross is a better 13 at the moment.

But that's coming from the guy that said we'd thrash Italy.

My points prediction was 100% accurate (dare to visit the Colo for evidence)

Mortlock is just proof that even the best can be infected with Giteau disease. Cross is shit. AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) for 13. Cross isn't even the best outside centre at the Force, Nick Cummins is.

Does anyone still want to claim the Wallabies are getting better ? :lmao:

Yeh I will. the short passing, support play and cleaning out is light years away from 12 months ago.

I can't comment until I see the match but everyone seems to be blaiming different individuals (depending on the states they come from generally).

Is Barnes ok? What happened to him
