We are playing well now. Sure Italy are porous but you still have to take the opportunities

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

At least they're getting "Ferrari" right.

I jinxed it

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

It's never been an automatic yellow, refs generally only card it if team in red zone.

 

[tragic]

Genia showing last week was an aberration
Hunt, Folau, and Naivalu having strong games.
Still not sold on 10,13 and 14.
Scrum solid.
Forwards same same but different.

Burke is the worst.

Yeah I think it depends on the circumstances, if there's a clear overlap and chance of making significant ground/try, then I think it should be a straight yellow, it shouldn't matter whether they're within 10m of 30m...

But, I don't think that knockdown warranted a yellow either

What a fucking try!!

That simply should not have been scored.

Genia ponderous and put more pressure on his outside runners again by skipping across field.

Foley with a fantastic through the legs pass to DHP who takes on the line, commits two defenders, offloads to Hunt who throws a lovely long pass to Naivalu.

Great stuff.

Foley converts and the score is 28-13.

whilst I agree with the call, I don't agree with how the TMO business is done, Rugby Union needs to examine the NRL's bunker system, much faster, simple and clean. I don't think the TMO should be explaining the reason to the referee, nor should they be having a discussion through poor communications..

 

[No4918]

Hunt thrown two nice long passes for tries now.

 

[Ignoto]

Man, if only Hunt came to Union straight from school, some bloody great balls he's played today.

Moores irrelevance has never been so apparent

Stephen Moore FFS what was that pass.

He looks like a machine that hasn't been oiled in years. Bring on the new generation.

 

[Dan54]

Why do Kafe and Marto don't understand the laws of the game, a try is allowed if the player reaches out and froces it, but you can't propel yourself with your legs/feet after the tackle.
Wallabies scored anyway, but geez half the people watching think these fellas know the laws!!

And Horne. Just saw him for first time in 40 minutes.

I'm not sure thats fair.

He's dropped the pill twice but thats hardly unique to him in the team.

He's committed the line well and set up his outside runners really well on a few occassions, as well as making all required tackles with enthusiasm.

 

[kiap]

Sio folding in

 

[Micheal]

Naivalu down injured.

Fuck.

He's been a real point of difference this game and I think he'll continue shine in Wallabies colours.

He's been replaced by Reece Hodge but he's walked off the field. Hopefully its not too serious as he's been quality tonight.

I saw him set up the first try...
