Wallabies v Springboks - Adelaide Oval, Sat 27th August, 2022

Nah I actually blame Paisami. He got cocky and started running it away from support in positions he shouldn't have and we lost the element of control that he was otherwise providing.

Really?

Samu had his moments so did Tate. TBH though, the pace is largely dictated by the half, and I wanted more from Tate. Of course he can only go as hard as the players around are ready for. Still the last 10 was a poor finish.

Tate does what Genia started to do where he holds it up every time, often taking several steps before passing. Great to have a running game but quick pill is priority.

Paisami does this often. I can't see him improving much and think he's pretty close to his ceiling, I'd like to see Foketi back in the mix.

Leota pushed Thor out of the way to take a run. Pretty telling assessment?

And then turned it over…

 

[Derpus]

Really?

Yeah?

I laughed at that!

Tupou was then penalized for his clean out.

 

[dru]

Yeah?

Sorry. Thought you might have been doing that sarcasm thing.

 

[Viking]

Actually it was Tupou who was penalised I believe.

 

[Derpus]

Fucking love Koroibete. Blokes pushing best in the world right now.

Interesting stats here:

McKenzie & Cheika vs SA: 4-6-2 | 33% win rate
Deans & Rennie vs SA: 12-5 | 70% win rate

Might check the stats vs NZ next.

Fluffed the clean out - something that should just be mindless muscle memory.

I wonder how much the extra mental load of being a Dad is having on Tupou. I think it’s best if the Wallabies coaching staff give him some time off to freshen up and get his mindset right before the RWC - he SHOULD be one of our key weapons on that campaign but his form is getting worse and worse.

Nope.
Leota was penalised for holding on.
Went straight to ground and SAF latched on. Tupou didn’t shift him in the cleanout. Pretty poor from both of them tbh.

Something was going on for Leota to step in for Tupou though.

Yeh that was bizaare

 

[Tomikin]

Dismal how much would you pay to see Faf and White locked in an Octagon for five 5 minute rounds?

And who’s the betting favourite?

... is this some kind of weird porno...

Tupou has to stop believing his hype if he wants to be the million dollar man

 

[Brumby Runner]

Arnold packing too high. That's why we're getting folded.

Overhead shot showed Philip also packing high, almost under the prop's armpit.

That’s up to them to decide.

 

[Dctarget]

quality game, best of our season I imagine. Wallabies are a tiring team to support but that was a great performance.

Love that in ball from Slipper to Lolesio, is that oldest to youngest?

Thought Paisami was pretty good till the final 20. Hope Ikitau is all good.

I fucking love beating the saffas, can't wait to see their bleating about the ref conspiracy and how Paul Williams isn't allowed into SA. At this rate they'll have no refs left available to visit.
