[Upthenuts]

give the try!

 

[jollyswagman]

Why do I find myself rooting for Italy?

 

[TOCC]

Foley off to a shocker, fell for the dummy which lead to that try

 

[Ignoto]

Foley is having a shocker. A shit pass to Horne then another crappy clearing kick that got us 10 metres further up the field than where we had the lineout.....

 

[mark_s]

I guess we could have had a worse start...........

Why do I find myself rooting for Italy?

Because you'd rather be right about watching the team you "support" burn than be wrong and see the team you "support" be successful.

 

[jollyswagman]

Horne knocks it on with his first touch...

And it looks like Italy might have a try here.

Can't blame Horne for that one Slim........Foley's pass was a shocker.

 

[Up the Guts]

How can you only be capable of exiting to your own 22 and be considered a world class side? That near try was all because of that atrocious exit 9 phases before. Edit: Foley is the issue if I wasn't clear enough.

 

[Upthenuts]

why is foley kicking to to u hes shithouse

 

[kiap]

Australia have a LOT of over-rated players in this starting lineup.

Italy well on top and deservedly so.

 

[Micheal]

Don't mind the tactic of keeping it in field from that kick from Foley there.

Our defense has been well organised and dominant thus far - the kick chase was strong and we presented a really nice wall.

Forced a knock on.

Let's hope we can hold onto it.

 

[Upthenuts]

martin blowing his load cause a winger can run lol, nice try fastest a wallabies run all season

 

[duckbill]

Italy clear winners with the anthems and that try should have been awarded to them.

 

[mark_s]

And we're in! Hands and speed makes it look easy

 

[Micheal]

Beautiful decision making there from Genia to take the quick tap, through the hands of Foley to Horne who takes the line on, draws the defender and makes it into a foot race between Naivalu and the Italian fullback.

Naivalu is too quick and we go in for our first try.

Naivalu's already had more of an impact than Nabuli. Very happy to see him int he team.

7 - 3 to the Wallabies.

 

[TOCC]

Good speed by Naiavalu, is the best specialist winger in Australia IMO

 

[BLR]

Was Sef just doing 'mini dabs'? This is why the All Blacks keep beating us. Too many dabs, not enough biff.

 

[Up the Guts]

Naiavalu proving that speed>mass on the wing. Hopefully we end our obsession with putting big buses on the sidelines who have poor skills and can't turn and chase.

 

[Ignoto]

Since when is a deliberate knock down not a yellow card?

 

[Slim 293]

Naivalu's already had more of an impact than Nabuli.

To be fair, that isn't too difficult..........

But I agree, he should've been starting last week after Speight pulled out.
