Wallabies v France, Paris, Sun 6th Nov 7am AEDT

[drewprint]

Appalling right before halftime from the Wallabies. Worst part was how utterly predictable it was.

 

[Pokinacha]

Discipline. It’s a new concept apparently

 

[RugbyReg]

I’m glad we’re giving Foley this vital game time at 10 so that one day he can develop into a real quality Flyhalf for the Wallabies.

 

[rugboy]

Kellaway should have got rid of it at the end there also, no support around him and french everywhere only one outcome

 

[Adam84]

some on here claimed Paisami was dropped because of penalties against Scotland, will be interesting to see who is dropped this week

 

[LeCheese]

Foley has been very poor overall this half - even his highlights were VERY lucky to come off.

Liking what Campbell’s been doing

 

[molman]

The last try was a coach killer.

 

[Pfitzy]

Go back to the ruck we had near halfway: if Valetini sticks his head in there to shore it up, we're not getting rid of the ball under pressure. Foley then compounds it with a poor pass and we're under our posts.

It was held up, anyway

 

[PhilClinton]

Kellaway should have got rid of it at the end there also, no support around him and french everywhere only one outcome

That was tough for him, you can’t throw the ball out on purpose and throwing a loose boot could have meant the ball ended up anywhere.

We should just executed that recycle quickly but to the French credit they flooded it so well.

 

[Pfitzy]

First quarter good by us - and reflective of a France team together for the first time in a while.

It is going to get ugly.

 

[HogansHeros]

To be honest - score now reflects the game. We are losing every third offensive ruck and conceding a penalty within seconds of France entering our territory.

Yep, just got one away against the run of play...

I’m glad we’re giving Foley this vital game time at 10 so that one day in can develop into a real quality Flyhalf for the Wallabies.

The constant gas lighting of Lolesio must be made even worse on him given how the bloke who’s supposedly better is going. Foketi a loss.

It's like they just have no idea of the concept

 

[Pokinacha]

The constant gas lighting of Lolesio must be made even worse on him given how the bloke who’s supposedly better is going. Foketi a loss.

Not to mention having Hodge ahead of him on the bench. Or maybe Lolesio isn’t as up to it as brumbies supporters think?

 

[Derpus]

Lolesio not being picked is just straight up fucking idiotic. He needed this time. We arent winning shit with blokes like Foley or Hodge at pivot. Hell even Cooper is too old.

 

[Dctarget]

That counter attack try from was amazing. Genuinely didn't know we had it.

I'm not that fussed by Jaco's reffing either. Ya win some, ya lose some. He's going fine.

 

[Pfitzy]

Let's focus on the fact it is the *Wallabies* and not a bunch of ostensibly provincial franchises for a minute.

Need to get back into this half with some ball retention and a bit more accuracy at the breakdown. Our kicking game is good so far so the tactics aren't wrong, but we'll need to limit the counterattack because it will come.

 

[Dctarget]

Also wouldn't hate it if we kept the ball in longer in our mauls outside the 22.

 

[John S]

That counter attack try from was amazing. Genuinely didn't know we had it.

He's actually being relatively consistent this game

 

[rugboy]

basic errors again
