Wallabies v USA Eagles, 5th September, Soldier Field, Chicago

[Major Spliff Biggins]

Did the commentator just talk about one the American greats: 'Dick Buttkiss"? I swear i just heard that.

Nice unders line from TPN off Phipps, but McCalman drops an unexpected ball off Foley. Wallabies have been sloppy on attack, not building much pressure. Luckily we had an advantage.

Someone forgot the printing numbers

Gits makes a break at first receiver by stepping back inside but loses the ball 10m out.

Another big scrum from the Wallabies but the Eagles get the ball in and out straight through the channel.

The protection at the back of rucks is poor for Phipps who is also a bit slow to get it away, but Jaco not exactly enforcing onside there much.

McMahon makes an impact in these games, I think he'll be a good 6 if he fills out.

More pressure on Phipps, the US toe through and Tomane cleans up but is forced out, big gain for the US - then they through a loose pass, Speight toes through but the Eagles clean up 5m from their line.

Game of errors right now.

The worst player on the field so far is peyper

Well colour me surprised

 

[cyclopath]

Jaco not actually bothering with onside at all now.
Good try Eagles though.

USA USA USA Deserved Meat Pie for the Septics. Poor defence reads by AUS.

AUS 14 USA 10 after 33 minutes after McGinty makes the conversion.

 

[Ash]

Beale hit with a big tackle as the Eagles steal. Peyper playing fast and loose.

US go wide, winger steps in and breaks a few, pops inside and Petrie is in!

 

[Sword of Justice]

That is a fantastic try from the Eagles. 14-8

 

[badabing59]

Now that was a good try!

Say what you will about the leadup (offsides), but that was a very good try and some ordinary defence from the Wallabies - the Wallabies even had an extra man. Nguenya (spelling) sold it to Tomane.

14 - 10 to the Wallabies, 34 gone.

 

[Major Spliff Biggins]

I think we should stop running at their inside Centre. He can tackle.

 

[Ash]

Loose carry now from one of the props, missed which one. He tried to force a pass that wasn't on as he was tackled. Lots of mistakes from the Wallabies.
