Australia v Italy, Suncorp Stadium, 24th June 2017 @ 3:00pm

[TOCC]

Hunt-Folau combo not linking up yet, either Folau over running or Hunts holding on too long

 

[TOCC]

Good quick hands by DHP in the lead up to that try

 

[Upthenuts]

i guess all is forgiven for the shit first 12 minutes

Beautiful inside ball from Foley to DHP off the lineout (we've seen that before) after a ~50 m penalty kick from Foley. Pop gun? Not this time.

Genia and Foley held back as support runners (almost had another Hooper-Scotland moment there). Through the hands to Folau who goes in the corner.

Foley slots it from the sideline. Aus 14 - 3 Italy.

That's better

Italian defence has popped its seal

Nah, if they did that against the All Blacks then the Wallabies would be down 14-0 already

That's an exit. Passed the 50.

 

[Micheal]

Lineouts looking more competitive with Hanigan and Arnold with some near steals.

Of course near steals are worth diddly squat but it seems to be functioning better as a unit.

Edit: spoke too soon. We fucked the last lineout.

 

[TOCC]

Watch the amount of work Hunt does at the ruck, not bad for a league convert

And again...

It's the 3rd time a ball has gone down between these two

Shepherding calls like that piss me off to no extent.

The ref blew his whistle after the ball carrier (Sio) had already been tackled and gone to ground, about 0.5m past where the blocker (Arnold) was standing.

It literally had no impact on the game.

Listening to these numpties mispronounce Esposito is literally making my ears bleed

There you go, finally made it work with the try.

Pretty good link there

Honestly forgot Hanigan was playing.

He could have literally run anywhere and not have broken a rule?

Is Karmichael playing 5/8?

 

[Slim 293]

I was gonna say, some of Hunt's passing in the last couple of tests haven't been great........ but then he goes and does that.

 

[Ignoto]

Jesus Hooper. Makes the covering tackle, backs up and goes for a huge run after the boy gets scooped up.

 

[Up the Guts]

Loving the exit from Genia.
