RWC Wallabies v USA - 23 September

[AngrySeahorse]

As I said in an earlier post (cant remember if it was here or another thread) but I had a nightmare the USA would win this game. Forget the Ireland game, I may well be suicidal after this one if our guys cant pull their finger out.

Well done USA. Seriously, what's wrong with Australia ?

 

[aussie1st]

USA well on track to finally score 2 tries against us. Those odds were dam good too.

Fainga'a is such a useless player on attack. He is not even worth 1 Tom Carter with the ball in hand.

 

[Blackjack]

FFS as a reds supporter i want Ant to do well, but what the hell! I'm about to have a fucking melt down

 

[dobduff11]

I think G&GR should create a Tom Carter attacking prowess scale. Similar to PR's Mark 'Usain' Cueto speed scale

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Yes Beale! But so far I'm pissed off watching this. May need to self impose a time out to myself and good stuff from Rocky, great run.

I bet the Americans are regretting starting a B team now. They are still going to lose, but they are going to put the shits up the opposition at times.

To win a world cup, you need three things:

1) A good goal kicker
2) To be good at the breakdown
3) To have a good scrum

I really don't think we have any of them.

 

[aussie1st]

Don't know why they did tbh, we were down in confidence and this was a great chance to cause the upset.

 

[kiap]

There is literally no contest at the breakdown without Pocock. This is worrying, and it's something I thought we had fixed in the try nations this year.

Hope that back of his mends. I want Beau Robinson over in NZ now.

What an offload from Palu, nice backing up by Horne and the pass.

 

[teach]

Now why are the Yanks kicking at away? They just don't have the defensive ability in their backs to contain Australia.

 

[minorbird]

Rob fucking Horne. This is a big call, but he is probably one of our best line runners at the moment. He set up our second try with his beautiful dummy run, and he sat off the hip of Palu there beautifully.

 

[AngrySeahorse]

Great stuff Genia, Palu, Horne, & Fainga'a. On a + I think Palu has done a some very good runs in this game. Horne so far doing well in his return.

 

[Blue]

I'm trying to think hard of something worse than listening to Phil Kearns whinging.

I can't.

Need to try AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) outside Horne for a bit in this game I reckon.

Fark you guys need an openside. Real bad.

 

[François]

Who else is happy with Horne ?

 

[Blue]

Rob fucking Horne. This is a big call, but he is probably one of our best line runners at the moment. He set up our second try with his beautiful dummy run, and he sat off the hip of Palu there beautifully.

He's the kind of player who just know where to be.

Who else is happy with Horne ?

Super happy.

 

[minorbird]

I reckon he would do well to watch a lot of Jacque Fourie. Similiar to the great man in that aspect.
