Wallabies vs Wales - Suncorp Stadium June 9

[Karl]

Barnes shut a few people up tonight. I thought he played really well.

The winger on debut for The Darkness scores 3 tries. Now that is a performance on debut.

On the end of a darkness backline. Bit of a difference.

 

[Scarfman]

I think the ease of the win raises awkward questions about the Wallabies. I reckon sides like South Africa, England Scotland, even Italy always have a shot against the Wallabies because they play such a hard forward-dominated game.

Wales play our perfect game plan. They love the running game, and we're just slightly better at it. It's like a SuperRugby game.

Yeah True.

As an ex piggie, one try is enough for the career.

Two tries over the career is showing off for a player whose number is <6.

Great game, solid performances across for the field and they probably all deserve a mention. Genia was immense, capitalising on the foundations layed by the pigs.

The reserves all added something - How good was Hooper, I thought it was JOC (James O'Connor) who had come on.

Want to see a better performance next time though. We could have had Wales out of the game by taking mroe of our opportunities in the first half.

Special mention to Berrick, his best game in 2012 and I am eating my own bitter words.

Hooper brings fantastic energy. And he's so effective carrying, drives through traffic, can really turn momentum.

Tuesday's Brumbies v Wales match could also be a ripper!!

 

[troxler]

Huge effort from the Wallabies,with half the team having to back-up from tuesday's test to get a win.I think that we can only get better from here with an extra week together and no idiotic mid-week test to make the job harder...stoked!! Genia MOM no doubt

Barnes shut a few people up tonight. I thought he played really well.

He kicked really well, and tackled.

I do wonder what will happen when we play a team - even Wales next week- who shut down Genia, and Barnes has to make things happen through other means than his boot.

I have to say the Brumbies Runners are a chance.

That's a quibble. He played a good game. Get behind your team.

 

[FrankLind]

Great game and character shown by the Wallabies. Well done!

My iPhone doesn't allow me to post the giant rolling eyes required for this...

For which part of my post slim.

Genia comment or McCabe comment and my dislike to him as a wallaby.

You really need that explained to you?

 

[Richo]

Geez, I thought we'd go down tonight and it looked that way in the 50-60 minute period but timely (for once!) substitutes made a huge difference.

A number of good performances from the Wobs -- it really does look like we are slowing developing some depth. Along with those that have been noted elsewhere, both centers were excellent with the no not-so-small exception of Horne's butchery. Defense through the middle was outstanding. Good to see Horne hold the line and not focus on the big hits. Won two penalties by my count.McCabe was strong and has really developed this year. Great line for his try. TPN was huge and Two Dads had his best game of the year by a very long way.

C'arn the Wobs!

 

[biggsy]

Ok win, still a shit load of work to do. A lot sound like Greg Martin here. Beat the AB's In Hongkong" bring on the world cup". What a Cockhead

Funny what happens when deans uses the bench, we win. Lucky we weren't behind because that would not have happened.



I will wait untill we beat the AB's strongest team and the bok's,that's the real test.

Cooper, Genia combo with Barnes outside to tonight, i would have love to seen that.

Diggers handle was nothing out of the ordinary, but it was noticed more as he got a lot of high ball tonight.

 

[Ruggo]

I thought the Wallabies would bounce back but some plesant surprises in there. Well done Barnes. He played very well indeed. I had doubts over the strength of the Simmo and Sharpe combo but they went well as a unit. Congratulations to Cooper Vuna on a fair debut. He looked a very proud man. The Bench all added value as well.

 

[Groucho]

He looked a very proud man.

He did! Big ups to our man Vuna!

 

[Cardiffblue]

Better team won. Wales forwards totally disjointed for first 45 minutes. Great game. Can't wait till the next one.

So you refuse to get excited about the Wallabies until they win the World Cup. Fair enough. I suppose that's as good a place to start as any. You may be waiting a while though...
