Wallabies v Barbarians - 1/11/14 (Twickenham)

[light]

Rusty so far but I reckon we got this.

 

[Swat]

Genia's slow play is a handbrake on cheika rugby.

 

[Tangawizi]

Thank fuck Kuridrani has remembered how to run forward. They need a reminder from Cheik at halftime that we are not the globetrotters and losing is unacceptable.

 

[oztimmay]

Breakdown protection, lineouts and backline communication are letting us down. McMahon is having a wonderful debut and taking his chances. Speight ok in patches but could do more. TK playing wonderfully again.

 

[Dctarget]

Was it Alexander who burnt it up the field in that last phase? Didn't look to flogged there. I feel for the Wallabies because it's difficult to defend against a team who are completely unpredictable and often don't know what they are even doing.

At the moment the issue is with the forwards.......... No surprises there.

Most of those guys aren't putting up their hand for a starting gig, or a bench gig for that matter.............

In the backs I think only Genia and Horne will/should face the chop for the next test, with a coin toss between To'omua/Lilo.

 

[troxler]

At least its a solid hitout for next week against Wales

I do like the English commentators, they're being very very very generous to the Australian players. I always love being told how good we are.

They must not rate us at all.

He's probably cleaned out more rucks than most of our forwards combined so far...............

Badger interview = gold. The queen 'she's a good Ol bird'

Yep that part had been good, but he's pushing a few too many passes. Bloody hard man to tackle, he looks good in gold.

Don't listen. They're telling you lies.

 

[Dctarget]

Just rewinded and watched Genia's passing from the rucks. He does take a lot longer than say Phipps, but what it does is opens up a second option. When Phipps passes, you know he's not going to run it or a small inside pop, it's going to the first receiver. But when Genia does it, the service isn't as quick, but Genia could run it himself, it could go short or to the 10. And we saw the benefits of this style in both tries to Carter and Fatcat.

How do you get the pommie commentators? I'm stuck with the crappy Foxtel mob.

His been quite involved. That left fend must be a nightmare guys just hit it and stop

Must be watching streams.

After reading Bob Dwyer all these years, Genia's slow distribution is beyond annoying. Surely the coaches say something to him?

 

[qwerty51]

hamstring injury, he's gone.

 

[Marcelo]

Well, the team started poorly, they seemed asleep but then things got better and now I hope that we will smash them in the second half
