If he can string 2 seasons together while staying full fit. He will be scary good and be on the trajectory of GOAT status.

This gives me goosebumps. Love hearing the different commentary. Almost a joyful riot in the French commentary box.

Rugby was dying for a clip-able moment and this doing the rounds is awesome.
Maxy finishing it off with the glorious dive makes it even better.

Yep this.
I love to watch Tate but his passing just isnt there still. There was a moment in the second half just after he replaced Gordon where we were trying to clear our 22 and he has laid a left-to-right pass right on the receivers shins when under no pressure. It could have gone pear shaped but we recovered. Its a tough one because his work around the rucks is excellent but core skills at this level are paramount.

The French commentary is always so much fun, they do away with any pretense of impartiality. It’s the wife’s biggest complaint about watching rugby with me is the English commentary is so dull and unemotional.Wallabies on Instagram: "The match-winner called from around the world #Wallabies"

Just saw the LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) collision at 62ish minutes. We were so lucky not to play with 14 for the rest of the game there.
If they take a look at it....it's high contact and no mitigation available because what he is doing is illegal in the first place

I am surprised there was no mention of the Wallaby player receiving the high ball, who LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) was protecting, getting taken out in the air on the same play
One thing that was really clear from this game is how well the bulk of the team needs to play to beat strong teams, particularly if the opposition don't have a bad day. Overall I thought England played to about the level we'd expect this current team to play to and it took an incredible Wallabies performance to win. In most years I would say we lose that game by 13+ points against that level of English play at their home ground.
It's hard to remember the last Wallabies game where so many players produced between good and excellent performances. It's very hard to pinpoint anyone who wasn't at least solid. The bulk of our team were significantly better than that.
Now the goal needs to be to improve our consistency so this isn't a one-off performance. How do we get the bulk of our 23 having a 7/10 performance with a sprinkling of 8s and 9s?

It was egregious from Salakai-Loto.
I think the tackle in the air on Jorgensen would have needed to be pretty ugly and dangerous for it to trump the penalty we'd already given away.

No, you can never watch enough angles of this try:

I'd missed it initially, like many others who were focussed on LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto), but it was pretty not great from Itoje - just a straight up tackle (albeit seemingly aborted after contact) to Jorgenson's lower legs. Jorgo lands on his hip and shoulder and was pretty lucky not to rotate further forward given Itoje's area of contact.
Not discounting LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto)'s actions, but both incidents probably should've been looked at a bit more closely.

Agree that the penalty was a lucky sanction, but not that a red was necessary. Not that the teeth flying out of his mouth should necessarily increase the sanction, but it was a pretty gruesome injury and vision.

It's straight up peak Barcelona tiki-taka football, and those silky hands are from big men at the end of a heavy contact 83 minute game. Just beautiful.

Oh thank god, I saw it live and almost spewed. Carry on!

Oh baby. The slow-mo, the fast hands, the flick pass - that is pornographic.
