JGP's box kicking is so accurate. If only he was playing in black.

Kind of ignores the existence of Aaron Smith.

[NTA]

Scrum pushes early after JGP slightly delays the feed.

BUT we didn't catch the high kick from the short arm

Irish crowd booing a correct call that cancels the try.

[NTA]

Our lineout has gone to shit, more from the throwing side

[sparky]

Ireland 32 Australia 14 with ten to go.

Men against boys really.

@Jet Super Rugby is vastly inferior preparation for Test Rugby these days than top European club Rugby.

Physically we've been ok.

Tactically we've been crap

Mack Hansen getting a standing ovation from an Irish crowd for scoring 3 tries against his own country.

Modern rugby.

Disgusting.

@Jet He won't be the last. Coming soon to the Aviva Stadium (Twickenham to me and you), England's own Hoskins Sotutu.

Agreed and that's mainly because we are the last two nations who want to play a brand of running Rugby

[frugby]

It won't matter, but at 32-19, with 5 mins to go and a penalty in front you absolutely take the 3.

[NTA]

Yeah 7 hands on deck past the ball.

Wish you'd seen that earlier, you Pommy bastard

[sparky]

@NTA England run it a lot, so do France, so do South Africa.

[sparky]

39-19 to Ireland. A comprehensive win.

Once their forwards have the ascendancy or after a kick.

I'm not saying we're more highly skilled - clearly the Wallabies aren't - but we don't do forward attrition as well

Spoke too soon

[NTA]

We look ready to get in the plane

Guys aren't even trying to make tackles

I'm regretting that I lack the ability to sleep in

Narratives are a crazy thing. Many All Blacks fans would tell you how good a job Joe Schmidt is doing, but since winning at Ellis Park, the Wallabies have won 2 of 9, with one of those being a limp dick win over Japan. Realistically his reign ends with eight losses in ten...

Razor gave the game away last week in his post match presser (or maybe it was Chicago)...he said something like we are trying to find ways to improve the speed and get fatigue back in our game.

As in , we want the refs to speed it up because we want to throw it around as we dont have Ox Nche and Jasper Wiese in our squad.

Now while I agree with him in principle, he (we) NZ and Australia, need to play the game we are in, not the game we think we should be playing.

It's why Tupea and Leicester in midfield worked with little or no practise. Up the jumper running hard.

Feel a bit for the Wallabies i think this has been a massive season for them especially with the Lions series
There players looked cooked
I dont think having players come and go has’nt helped (Skelton ,Ikitau and O’Connor) not to mention losing some key guys to season ending injuires like Noah Lelesio ,Tom Lynah and Tom Wright
