Italy wouldve beaten us
Aside from the try, Koroibete has been rubbish...
I think I'd like to see Noah on the bench for the next game, I would have loved him to have come on. JOC (James O'Connor)'s been a bit hit 'n miss today.
This is his first bad game I can ever recall. Not his fault nobody felt like tackling.
Start the kid, can't go much worse than JO'C.
Great first half and a second to forget. Will be a few changes in two weeks time, for me they'd be:
Simone in for To'omua if he's out
Wright drops back out, probably for Samu
Petaia to start over Paisami
And possibly Wright in for Koroibete, DHP in for Banks, and Hosea in for Simmons. That may be a couple to many changes though
I might also look at swapping Tupou and Ala'alatoa to give us more punch at the back end of the game when Wilson has come off.
Start Lolesio as well?Great first half and a second to forget. Will be a few changes in two weeks time, for me they'd be:

We are improved..ABs deserved winners but was closer then scoreline reflected. Rome not built in a day - some things to like - some things to improve - but wallabies to me exceeded expectations b4 the first game. We are not easy beats. Oh and FU NZRU...Agreed it's not the same old, we're very different. Our strengths (and weaknesses) are different now. But at the end of the day does it matter if we get spanked? I guess we hope that this is but the first step of a big improvement curve.
