Paisami is the poor mans Kerevi
Has never shown anything at international level
Need at least Skelton, Kerevi and koroibete back for rugby champs

Kerevi can’t pass or kick… Paisami can
kerevei undoubtedly the better crash ball runner though.

Big man doing well thus far.

And your inside centre isn't the big body you would wish

Weather has been pretty average as well. Constant weekend rain to align with games on it on the weekends

Haven’t seen much of wright over the years - partially to injury and not watching heaps of super games. He is a lineout technician though and a perfect 6 with what he brings.

You need at least ONE big crash ball runner in your backline at international level. All the top teams have it. None on current Wallabies backline

I quite like the up tempo they are
Playing at and just no footy in our 40 policy by the looks of it.
We have been really accurate at our own breakdown.
Laurie fisher on the coaching staff has implemented his work yet again.

It's been crap since the summer concerts. Whatever they laid after the Pink concert never really knitted and it's kept getting worse.

A few errors or poor execution of skills that need to be ironed out for the second half.
Daugunu has put in three absolutely atrocious kicks, one off the kickoff which he caught a couple of metres inside the 22 and put his clearance kick out on the 22. This play led to the Welsh penalty try a few phases later. Two other shockers. Cut his leg off if he tries another.
Gordon showed very poor decision making late in the half when Aussies had to clear a lineout maul and off the next ruck he passed the ball back to where all the Welsh forwards were coming across from the remnants of the maul. Does he even look to see where opportunities are?

Surely you mean T. Wright has done nothing? Kellaway has been in everything the backs have done

Liam Wright has been great in the lineout, especially on defense.
Overall a fair first half, though i feel we need to play a little tighter (which is exactly what Laurie is saying right now). We looks great when we did in the first half

Nah I’d say this is a simplistic take on the issue, it’s rare for test teams to play dedicated crash ball players anymore. Those are a bygone era and in the Tier 1 teams is rare to play a big bodied player who doesn’t also contribute in playmaking or kicking.

Yeah T.Wright has been anonymous so far
