Wallabies have looked strong with the ball in hand. However, To'omua's lost his nerve too often and his kicking options have been poor.

Vermeulen's probably been the best player on the field. Dynamite over the ball & preying on isolated runners.

Our set piece has done well. Fardy's earned us a couple of turnovers, Slipper's been strong again and Kuridrani's been our best. His bust & pass that that led to AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper)'s try was sublime. How I wish he had started at 13 against the All Blacks.

Good first half from Aus. SA don't look dangerous on attack and the Wobs have been very aggressive at the breakdown. Kuridrani has been very impressive when he's kept ball in hand.

Chunder think you will find that Bob has been calling for Tevita to be the 12 with AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) at 13

That sound right, Bob does love some AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper). I'd like TK more at 13 but then where do you slot AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) once we have enough wingers? Bit rough to bench him seeing as he basically always performs and we lack experience

Vermulen in a machine. havin a great game. although i must say at his last steal he wasn't really supporting his body weight.

Great discipline from the wobs. I'm liking the defensive patterns.

Saia Finger has been playing very well - lineout has won its own ball (not all hooker but has thrown straight), scrum has held despite creaking at times and his tackling and breakdown work have been sublime. Good selection call there.

Props have kept up there recent form, no big runs but plenty of good work.

Locks have been efficient without really standing out - much better performance from the pair of them.

Backrow is performing well as a unit - Hooper doing lots of running, McCalman tackling and Fardy has got a few pilfers.

good solid, pack work.
