I yelled at that tackle in real-time, it seemed amazing neither Poite nor the AR could see it. That said, White should have been binned earlier at the other end - way offside then in the side at the ensuing ruck. Sure he was penalised, but 2 killing plays in 20 seconds. We're getting pantsed good and proper - fast recycle by ABs, moving it well, getting hands free to offload, and not being challenged by our defence nor our ruck work. Wallabies are just looking pedestrian. The ABs are at pace.

ABs have too much of everything for Wallabies. They wet even the better team with just 14 players. Cruden has been very impressive but straight lines and hard straight running getting it done

Same old same old. Last week when Izzy was out of position, Beale (or anyone else), failed to drop back. It's happening again, and Hansen will have picked up on that!

Well, they had only lost McCaw when down to 14, so not too much of a loss (where's the finishing icon gone?).

Hoping for a better second half.

McCabe really isn't offering anything. Time to sub. Kuri to 13 and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) out one. Horne is a similar player and at least smashing blokes in hits.

Maybe the play just isn't coming mccabe's way tonight but we at least need some attacking spark when it does.

Poite did miss the high tackle but overall he's had a pretty good first half. If we're ranking those on the field by the number of mistakes they've made Poite is doing a lot better than most of the Wobs and 1 or 2 ABs.

Unfortunately, we can't sub both of our second rows.

We need to watch our shooters in defence.

Hmmm, thought Retallick didn't release there, but we should have cleaned him out.
