Wales v Australia

[qwerty51]

A much better game from Skelton. His clean outs were effective and he carried the ball safely.

Congrats to Faulkner on his cap. Great stuff.

Yeah I thought he was very good around the field but the scrum is a major issue. Can we send him off to Gloucester for a week with Laurie?

Welsh tears are the most delicious tears.........

In all seriousness, that was a very strong performance by Wales for the first test together since June, and a rather auspicious but lackadaisical performance by the Wallabies

Our forwards bench replacements are not settled still.

Ireland and France have yet to play in the Autumn but we are going to have to improve substantially or we could drop those games. The England game looks like a 60/40 in their favour atm based on their game v the ABs.

Hooper made some incredible tackles in those last couple of minutes.

My heart is going a million miles an hour. What a tense finish!

Yeah, Michael is our hero, our superman!

Foleys kicking won us that.

 

[Shiggins]

I think I found God in that last minute. Probably woke up the kids too.

I got home.from work at 830.and.have to get up at 330 to go back. Dedication to watch the wobbs! (Perth time )

I didn't think it was possible, but the Welsh commentators are worse than Kearnsy and Marto. Atrocious whingers.

They have a lot to whinge about re Wales v Australia. Poor old Jonathan Davies

 

[Shiggins]

Good to see Alexander have a good game off the bench

 

[Tangawizi]

You beauty! Never in doubt.....

Fark that was tense. Talk about the Pool of Death at the RWC next year.

Got to hope TK & Izzy stay fit.

Foleys kicking won us that.

And nearly lost it. But that could've been Hooper's decision to kick it away. It was a strange one as the was the one to not take the earlier penalty (but paid off).

Foley's kicking under pressure has been awesome this year, will be key in the WC.

Alexander and Skelton...........

Both great around the field, but their scrummaging.......... ugh.

 

[ChargerWA]

Yeah I thought he was very good around the field but the scrum is a major issue. Can we send him off to Gloucester for a week with Laurie?

To be fair I though his first 5 scrubs were quite good. He got really flat and seemed to have it together, but then lost his concentration on that last one.

Showing signs of improvement, but more important, coachability.

 

[MrTabua]

Genia looked like you'd expect. Short of a run at test level.

Strangely slow to rucks, then tried to fall over every player's legs.

Welsh tears are the most delicious tears...

I prefer the tears of a Kiwi. It's a delicacy though. Don't get it too often.

It's always a good watch when we play Wales in Cardiff. Just as good as last year's cracker

At the end of the day Skelton needs test footy experience. It Will pay divert ends next year

Couldn't agree more. Jonathon Davies' little chime ins are nothing but bitter and twisted about everything..

I agree....his kicking nearly lost the game aswell. Motm deservedly tho. The bench did well today.

Wallabies played well today....was a pretty solid welsh defence!!

EPIC GAME

Scored more points than last year, attack is still there. Defensive systems will come with time, Tahs had the best defence and Grey will get them on track.

 

[ChargerWA]

That Honey Badger add is pure gold.

 

[Dctarget]

Surely Israel, the 14 point saviour, is the MOTM.
