Just like to say, When Nic White is on his the best Scrum Half in Oz.. Unfortunately his not always on and this is his best from him in a gold jersey.

But actually running the ball after the shovel from HB was an absolutely on in every game this year, here is the first snip from a scrummie..

Well done Australia. The first half was appalling from both sides, but both improved in the second half; the Wallabies more-so than the All Blacks. I'd imagine both coaches will have learned which players really shouldn't be going to the RWC, or at least in the top squads (D.Mumm, and S.B.Williams, immediately spring to mind).

Unfortunately winning the 3/4N is a RWC year, of course, means you cannot win the big event...

I didn't see him gob off. He seemed much more focused in this game and it showed.

Mumm didn't suck, SBW has always sucked at Rugby though.

Never one to doubt the quality of the ABs but tonight I thought we saw some signs of an ageing NZ forward pack.

Agree and I've been saying it for some time. Even the young ones aren't at the best of form. Retallick might of been the best last year but he's a shadow this year. Franks and Woodcock are terrible and Kaino and Read are past their best.

Mumm was dreadful 1st half. Thankfully his 2nd half was pretty damn good. He seemed to get.. fitter somehow.

Maybe he was just shocked by the pace coming from English club rugby and tried to pace himself.

Interesting to see what happens to SBW now. He was injured and shit all year. Should've started Fekitoa and he might miss the RWC squad.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but I hope the Wallabies took a bit of offence at the ABs choosing not to do their usual big game 'Kapo o Pango' before a match to decide a trophy

We shouldn't be too hard on Phipps.........

He was awful tonight, and his cynical penalty could've cost us the match........ but he also came on against SA and did what White did tonight (sans the penalty goal and try).

It will be interesting to see who Cheika starts with next match.........

If To'omua is at 10 I would pick White at 9.
