A lot of polite naysayers to my preview.

What above all else I wanted was a proper step up from my two favourite teams. A step past the issues in the background. Right now I'm feeling very satisfied. Keep it going blokes. Blokes means Green. and Gold.

I think Faf needs to kick-in second half and start kicking his pigs. They need direction so the backs get more space. Jantjies is connecting the way he needs to.

This second half we need our locks to try and kick up a gear. Yeah, ridiculous ask I know.

HODGE, what a bloke. Double 10 is looking like it might have something. Best game from Foley this year. Pooper - need to see some turn overs.

Loving it!

Watching some replays at half time, looks like Strauss was wayyyy offside for the intercept. 3m in front of the rest of the defensive line, who look to have greater accelerative abilities than him. Foley still shouldn't have bloody passed it to him though. Pass it over him, we're in. Or go yourself. Bad decision. Would love to see a reverse angle.

As much as foley will be ribbed, that was just sheer bad luck. What are the chances of a fat 30 something hooker intercepting a rocket ball like that?? Credit to Strauss though, great read

Pretty happy with the game thus far!!

Foley / Quade axis looking good. Genia looking good.

Kerevi / DHP / Hodge / Folau looking good.

Forwards looking good! Love the Douglas / Coleman 2 row (had a bit of a man-love moment after Coleman scored).

Also didn't think I'd be saying this - but we're not missing Fardy. Mumms been fairly industrious (not only today - hes surprised me all test season). Good workrate in defence and not bad with the ball in hand.

Even Stephen Moores impressed me. Him and Pocock have linked well with the backs, he's been captaining quite well and his defence has been solid.

Feeling confident about the 2nd half.

Pretty good if he's standing almost in the attacking line! Hard to miss visually.

I can't agree about Moore. Just because his team is performing better doesn't mean he is

Wallabies. See what happens when you have possession. You get calls go your way.

Its nice to finally have a playmaker controlling the game. Foley looking much better at 12 tonight which is good to see.

Is this game running late? A lot of competition for TV ratings. League finals, AFL finals. Celtic v Rangers is on. Manc derby soon to start.
