Wallabies v France, 7.00am AEDT Sunday Morning

[Major Tom]

French player just running behind players fml

 

[Yoda]

Hit it up a few then spin wide. Why don't we do that?

 

[Upthemaroon!]

The defensive scheme of the Wallabies is so bad man

 

[KOB1987]

Yeah so basically can’t compete for the ball? And France score off the back of it

 

[Major Tom]

Who’s the lineout coach?

 

[Wilson]

That is special

 

[KOB1987]

Jorgo’s back!

 

[LeCheese]

Really don't like to see Bell with a limp that seems to be favouring his lower leg...

 

[KOB1987]

That was a clear penalty and possibly yellow card, picking the ball up in front of the knock on

 

[Where's the beef]

They were a man down!

So what. They can be 2 men down and score. The french have flair. Alot of Flair.

 

[Yoda]

Sua'ali'i hooked.

 

[Where's the beef]

JAS off with Dungunu on Like that. Would Have preferred potter off and JAS to wing.

 

[Yoda]

Whatever result. Australia playing much better.

 

[Major Tom]

So what. They can be 2 men down and score. The french have flair. Alot of Flair.

I’ll reframe it. You’re an idiot. If France are good enough to take the ball away from us and then not kick the ball out but score against us then so be it.

 

[Upthemaroon!]

Just a bit of tactical talk, but I can vaguely remember Schmidt being criticized for essentially using both 12 and 13 as proxy forwards in his tenure at Ireland. Just hitting it up and letting the 10 or 15 make the loops.

This could be a reason why Sua'ali'i (and let's be honest Ikitau aswell, he has done nothing much besides hitting it up) is misfiring in this scheme. Hopefully Kiss can engage both a bit more, looking at his Reds plan with Paisami and Dre I think he does have that tactical ability (or willingness).

 

[Yoda]

Fraser to captain in 2026 too.

 

[drewprint]

Pearce having a hard on for penalising Australia. Legitimate ones go for it. But those couple against Sualii and Valetini are laughable.

 

[Wilson]

If Pearce was serious in his apology to Fraser for getting his name wrong he would've reversed the penalty

 

[drewprint]

What can you do when all the good things you do to remain competitive in the match get pinged anyway. Absolutely rails run for France currently.

 

[Yoda]

Edmed needed to put it closer to line there.
