Scott Fardy was terrible and looked completely disinterested. He spent most of the game on the wing and is either carrying an injury or a grudge. That said I'm a big fan and hope he gets back into the Wallaby squad.
Sometime I'm staggered by rugby fan's lack of understanding of rugby.
When you see a forward looking 'disinterested' out on the wing at a professional level, it's not because he's lazy, it's the system the team is running. Not too many sides play 'get around the corner, same way attack' football at a high level, teams are too good at folding. They play channels.
In attack, a loosey out wide that's good in contact and at off-loading can do damage. It's also good for securing those wide rucks.
In defense, there's opportunities for turn overs. Lots of under resourced rucks out wide.
Fardy often plays this role at test level too depending on what shape they're using.
People used to say the same shit about Higgers 'seagulling'. It's just the way footy is played.
