Winter Tour; Wallabies v France Wednesday 7 July, Brisbane

[Up the Guts]

Hey would you look at that, you cut the backs out of the equation and we score.

Dave would be wise to play 10 man rugby IMO.

11. Marika is a forward.

 

[Chunderstruck]

Koroibete forgot how to run forwards?

 

[Up the Guts]

They are gassed

 

[A mutterer]

wtf? how about the old droppie?

 

[fatprop]

I'm not liking the Gordon-Loleiso combination so far, looks uneasy

I don't think they have ever played with each other before

 

[Pokinacha]

Sheesh, if this is our best team…

 

[PhilClinton]

Yeah a bit. Let him build into the game.

I think it’s clear he’s not up to this level yet. Building into a game when you’re the key playmaker at test level really isn’t an option.

 

[Derpus]

Gordon has been pretty average. Didnt look like we had a backrow on the field in that first 20.

With To’omua playing at first 5… What’s the point of Lolesio? Brink Ikitau on and push Paisami into 12

 

[Ignoto]

If you were Tate, you'd be speechless at what more you need to do. Two fundamental miss tackles by Gordon, another fundamental mistake by rolling the ball in the ruck, a forward pass that disallowed a try and a woeful pass to your 10.

Thankfully it’s not - quite obvious now that JOC (James O'Connor) is a clear upgrade on Lolesio. Having him at 10 I reckon would be a difference maker.

I also think Taniela should be starting. To'omua looks a bit slow, not sure who takes his spot though.

You are being generous

When JOC (James O'Connor) is back, Lolesio goes, Hunter shifts in one, Len to 13

Really he hasn't done much wrong other then a drop kick in the back field.. Had a good kick down the line and has distributed pretty well. It's not like Gordons given him great service..

Yeah, he has been pressured a lot.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Christ we are so poorly drilled.

 

[syndrome]

Gordon looks to be the problem.

 

[Ignoto]

How are the amigos allowed in the studio? I thought you lot were all in "lockdown"?

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Gordon has been pretty average.

Said it once, say it again: Too many Tahs.

Didnt look like we had a backrow on the field in that first 20.

Were we trying to be too cute and not over-commit to the breakdown? Has Hooper lost his motor?

 

[Running_rugby_1954]

All these comments about the backs.

We are being belted at the Breakdown. Simple.
