Gagger’s Half Time Wrap

Australia’s lineout was a shambles. Our scrum looked shaky at first but firmed up later in the half. The Wallabies really committed to breakdwon and muscled up well in general play. Hodgson and Chapman are having good games, and TPN is absolutely on fire in the loose. Burgo is playing well and Cross looks a notch above. Neither Mitchell nor Turner have done anyhting amazing.

The scoreline flatters the Wallabies at this stage, and if Glocs hadn’t butchered their midfield passing they would have crossed on a few occasions. The Wallaby backline is bunching up, and getting caught out by Glocs counter-attack. Gloucester haven’t kicked for poles yet, instead choosing to pass on 4 kickable attempts.
