I think people must be watching a different game to me. Porecki won't be making a best in the world team, but his performances are far from poor. I think if you actually watch him a bit more closely he's a lot more industrious than the picture people seem to paint. Similarly with the criticism of AAA in this game.

Yep. I'm happy with Porecki. Let's just hope he avoids injury. Agree also on AAA, but I do think being able to rotate him would be useful. We need Tupou back.

Our u20s came 2nd in 2019 and were the 2nd/3rd best sise this year.
Fifht place this year to be exact. I watched all the games. Some great prospects at the backline. An undistinguished forwards pack and that's the main issue of RA. So the disease will continue

How do you figure that when our U20's came 5th?
Thankfully someone say it. If I said I will be the bad guy. TBH, some great prospects coming from the current Junior Wallabies. Sadly most of them are backs, the main issue, the forwards still a concern

Got to laugh at all the people blaming Argentina for diving and cheating, if Quade or Kerevi don't go high or tackle late it's not a penalty. They're the ones to blame.
Joker pulled up a penalty for something that wasn't and peyper found something different. Absolute joke.

Pretty simple our only loss was to the team that lost in the final. We almost beat the Irish too until injuries, weather and refereeing cost us. I'd love a rematch and I reckon we'd have them.

100 percent wallabies need to be better with the amount of penalities they give away but every game the cop way more than they deserve and the team they play get away with alot.

They also need to be better at holding the ball when in attack.

Absolute joke of a game though. Very average refereeing and the tmo was legit out of control. Disgraceful

Wallabies need to be better though. They hardly played rugby tonight.

Kellaway can’t come back soon enough, hopefully next week, Wright needs to go.

I would rather we just pick reliable hard working players like Harry Wilson, Cadryn Neville etc than keep picking “hopefuls” like Richie Arnold who do nothing

Carter Gordon needs to be in the starting side as well now, either at 10 or 12 but I also think quade is doing alright

wright needs to be dropped.

the wallabies defensive structure is wrong. the loig defense patterns aren't working.

eddie throwing his headset was a highlight. more because its his game plan, his choice of a defense coach, and picking a 15 who cant apparently pick up a ball.

the positives - carter, bell, marky's 90 m try, and kemeny winning the game of rock peyper scissors by a knock out.

and on another note, the focus on some mythical smash and grab illusion can fuck right off. apparently losing along the way to the rwc has become acceptable.

im not drinking that kool aid.

I think the upside of Mark Nawaqanitawase has been well shown. Yeah, he's not perfect but he adds a LOT.
Wright made a huge effort to score that try but undid a lot of that good-will thereafter. Not sure I'd bin him but he needs refining.
I thought Holloway was pretty good, would keep the back-row.
Cooper was OK, not great, but OK. I think Perese needs to come in to 13, Kellaway to 15 if a change must happen. I think Philip could be moved up at Arnold's expense. McReight not really allowed much latitude - not going to judge him on that, he looked like Robinson Crusoe at times at the breakdown.
Pleased with Bell's shift after injury.
Oh, and a fail from the tactical POV for the coaching brains-trust so a kick in the arse for all of them.

Only the wallabies can get a penlaty for something the TMO brings up which is wrong and then the ref calls soemthing different front a bunch of soccer players selling every touch.

Who called the last try a try ? A touchie? It looks held up. If it's called held up and it goes to the TMO it's never a try. Argentina very lucky it wasn't called a no try and looked at otherwise they lose this game.

We want the wallabies to be number one. Regardless of all these absolute terrible calls which happened we are no were near

I was pumped when Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) scored that try. Against all the crap called against Aus they can win this game. But they couldn't him out.
