Agree on Maddocks, the ball to Wright who then beat 2 to setup the Ikatau try was a peach, there were a few others too. He definitely adds some creativity at the back. He and Wright put in a couple of nice kicks from the back also. Thought both Wright's were strong actually. Moeroa impressed me in midfield both defensively and getting over the ad line, cant believe Penney barely played him. Hosea was strong. The starting forwards were all very good at the set piece, we fell away considerably once the substitutions were made.
That was a great pass. Maddocks looked good and T. Wright definitely had something about him. I thought Gordon was good too with that pass for AusXV second try being on the money. He probed well and was a little juggle off getting a try of his own.
Harrison as some mentioned had a rather mixed performance. Not a great day of the tee, one or two fumbles. I thought some of his option taking was 'ok', with that little grubber showing that there was space and his little break in the 1st half highlighted his running rugby, just needed supporting players to make more of it.
Morea was decent. Liked his carries, some of his hits. His positioning in the line and fitness showed a little when the Argies gassed him when he folded in too hard.
Overall I thought the AusXV needed to work on their ball retention and the breakdown wasn't good enough. Though to be fair I felt the Argies needed to be rolling out of the ruck better, they were lying all over the back of the ruck and slowing quick ball time and time again.
