The bench was immense, as was Mark N (Nawaqanitawase). They've built a ton of depth over this tour. Tate, Mark N (Nawaqanitawase), Jock, Hanigan, Lolesio, Lonergan, Samu were all immense in the last 20 minutes.

90% of the Wales offense was off scrum/mauling penalties.

I also think Lolo was better than Donaldson when he came on.
I actually think Donaldson was pretty good. He was on the field when we were penalised off the park. Couple of cards. Then Lolesio came on with no pressure and got a chance to throw it around a little. Don't get me wrong I think he did well but I think Donaldson would have also exploited the space with his running and passing game.

Good to see our lineout fixed - I don't think we had a single not straight
Not sure if it was Donaldson or not, but our attack looks a bit one dimensional in the first half
I thought Hodge was very quiet
Slipper had a shocker at the scrum, bad luck or not
Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) is what Petaia was promised to be.
Speaking of Petaia, he was very quiet.
Gordon can fuck right off. I seriously want either Lonergan or Fines to get a shot as the third halfback.

FF (Folau Fainga'a) with the not straight overthrow?? He needs to get in the bin ASAP. Lonergan is the future - plays with great composure.
Agree with Gordon - has to go.

I don't even know how to look at the whole your now.
I mean a couple calls go the Wallabies way and it could easly have been 5 wins.
If Donaldson makes the kick against Italy, and a couple of calls go our way like that rolling maul penlaty against Ireland it could have been a clean sweep. Hard to think but it's true.

Yeh for sure. But to lose by 1 point to the best 2 sides in the world away from home missing half the team ? I mean let's really think about it.
I mean you couldn’t ask for better RWC prep really, as they say, you learn more from losses than wins.

The discipline was much better this week (apart from forced penalties like scrums and mauls but not really the same thing). I am more encouraged for next year now.

Agree , A lot of those penalties were def 50/50 as well.

Call me nuts but I view this tour as a positive
We’ve discovered our issues and can fix them
Have unearthed some great players (starters and bench). Can realistically field a solid and experienced second xv
And have proven that with discipline and execution we can beat Ireland or France and NZ.
I would say now that we could go deep in the World Cup if injuries don’t hurt us and I wouldn’t have said that 12 months ago
