Wallabies v France - June 14 Etihad Stadium

[Aussie D]

McCabe on for Kuridrani - AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) to centre

 

[Aussie D]

Jones on for Big Kev

 

[qwerty51]

Not a bad first scrum for Luke Jones!

 

[ACT Crusader]

Good scrum there. French TH popped up

 

[Bairdy]

Kepu > Alexander

 

[Aussie D]

I wonder if St Andre is lamenting his decision to replace his props? the replacements don't seem to be holding their side up.

Beale on for Foley

 

[maxdacat]

Great intent from Beale

 

[Aussie D]

nice kick with the advantage - pity Folau wasn't the intended recipient

 

[TOCC]

Yeah as safe and consistent as Foley is, he lacks the attacking prowess of Beale or Quade.

 

[ACT Crusader]

What happened there with that lineout?

No lifters

 

[Aussie D]

take the points... messed up the lineout and then transferred the pressure

 

[Ash]

Jones forget to jump at that lineout?

 

[FilthRugby]

I love Hooper, but some of his decisions have been 'questionable' tonight!

 

[mark_s]

Take the 3 ffs

 

[TOCC]

Slipper is having another blinder.. Rock at the scrum and a pest in the loose

 

[Aussie D]

sanity prevails - going for poles.

Barnes has given the French a warning - will he go through with it if they continue to infringe?

 

[BabyBlueElephant]

Frances attack is appalling.

 

[Omar Comin']

bloody brilliant if you ask me, Ewen is aware that the 1% make a big difference in winning over the fans

I agree. But what might help win over the fans is having a game plan with a bit more risk. Even if we win this match the spectacle is more likely to lose fans than win any. It's a shocking match and no amount of interviews or extra access is going to compensate for it.

 

[Aussie D]

6-0

 

[Ash]

Both of these games Foley has let himself drift out of the game, this week it seemed like for nearly the entire game.

Good kick White, finally.
