Wallabies v Lions, 19 July Suncorp

[fatprop]

Quite passive defence from the wobs

 

[cyclopath]

Cannot see how that tackle in the air is not a YC.
Wait, O'Keeffe...

[rugbyAU]

No Valetini, no Skelton, no Gleeson, no Kerevi, no Koroibete, no ball carriers

Korobiete is well past his best

 

[whitefalcon]

How isn’t that a bigger deal. Tackle in the air no attempt at the ball.

That is surely a yellow everyday of the week.

Or are we back to only penalizing foul play when a player gets injured?

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

Yeah the 3 relatively undersized Aus loosies are scrambling their arses off but its fingers in the dyke stuff.

CdC having a crack and Fraser a couple steals but the rest of the 4,5,8 need to step up.

 

[whitefalcon]

Korobiete is well past his best

As is Kerevi

 

[Shiggins]

No Valetini, no Skelton, no Gleeson, no Kerevi, no Koroibete, no ball carriers

Have U seen koro? Blokes a turtle. We are missing Bobby V. Gleeson in the form he has been in.

It's really shifted from a couple of years back where they were really looking to protect the players in the air.

He’s trying to stay popular with the Lions fans when he’s out drinking tonight

 

[Micheal]

The problem with the size difference is that it’s not like Tom Curry is Andre the Giant. He plays 80 minutes every week too and is industrious up until the end.

Its not like we have some energiser bunny advantage here imo

It would have been a card if the teams were reversed

 

[Drew]

I’m surprised LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) isn’t there, his physicality is missing

 

[Micheal]

We need Bell on asap. For the love of God somebody please get over the gain line

 

[Super Hooper]

The Lions are just making metres for fun. The Wallabies look like me in my uni days; zero penetration.

At times it looks like the Green and Gold users vs the All Blacks. We need 5 players together against one to have any chance in contact. Meanwhile they gain metres easily

Maybe not yet but you can feel it starting to come

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Both Lynagh and Gordon have both been shockers.

Conversely, I think he's showed, for a kid in his first test start (?) that he's a keeper. Had a rough first few minutes but then knuckled down (in a HIGH level game) to show he has the right calm temperament and ticker for his position.

 

[Dan54]

Good test this fellas. The Lions rightfully ahead, but they are playing well. They have to as the Wallabies aren't playing badly, just being a little outgunned at moment. This is still anyones.

 

[Derpus]

Honestly they arent even that good they just, to a man, have 10kg on us.

Doesnt help that we invite meters with the weird passive defense.

 

[The Ghost of Raelene]

JAS does that and people will want him locked up.

 

[A mutterer]

The wobs forwards need to fucking starch up.

Imagine letting your 10 get caught in the air, oh wait it happened. Soft shoulders, flat-footed takes.

We're looking OK at best building back into game but the efforts and impacts are nowhere near what's needed.
