Australia v Wales - Match Review Game 2, 13 July - Green & Gold Rugby

Hi everyone, Welcome to this week’s review of the Wallabies v Wales. The game was played in Melbourne in damp conditions; for mine, they should’ve played it in Brisbane where it was clear, sunny, and 20 degrees today. The commentary team said that Slipper is now the most capped prop in the...

Fuck that. Wright had insane momentum and should’ve kept going. Unlucky to not get further given defensive position.
Yes butchered try by LSL (Lukhan Salakaia-Loto) bulldoze over

I am happy with two wins in a row - if someone told me last year after that diabolical World Cup, we would win our next two games , I would not have believed them. Some good things. Same as I said last week- players have real clarity around what they are doing and the tactics are current rugby tactics.. not Randwick from the 1990’s tactics.. its nice to see some thought into what we are doing.

Looking forward to being in the crowd next week against Georgia.

Why does Horan pipe on about how full the stadium is - 30k attendance - no way, the whole top tier on one side is empty

Cause the stand who shows the TV cameras is almost full. The other side you only see when is kicking time

Wow, talk about speed!

One of those games where neither coach will be happy.

Luckily for us Wales butchered that game

They missed three opportunities for rolling maul tries that we were going nowhere near stopping

And they scored 3 tries doing absolutely nothing to deserve it

Meanwhile Eddie's horror run continues with a loss to Georgia at home

Forgot to mention that there are player ratings in the post as well.

Horan …. it’s time to give him the hook as a commentator.

All the players have mentioned the crowd / Melbourne in post-match interviews - no doubt there's been an understandable nudge from RA to do so.

Get Noah off not a test 10

Yes, I have always said Donaldson is better than Noah. Nearly got laughed off this forum by all the Brumbies supporters. He has the better pass, the longer boot and puts more people in the gap and has deceptive pace when he takes on the line.

 

[KOB1987]

We won our last test at the rwc v Portugal so officially it’s 3. For the record, I’m starting from this year as well

 

[Brumby Runner]

Yes, I have always said Donaldson is better than Noah.

Not by me OT.

 

[dru]

As I said, my count is two.

 

[rugbyAU]

three wins in a row when was the last time that happened

As mentioned in the post-game - congratulations too to 7As (Allan Ala'alatoa) on his first Wallabies try in 69 caps.
