ABs bench needs work - a lot of average and Harris and ALB were particularly poor I thought.

The replacements for that last 30 mins were dreadful

Report card:

1st 50 mins: perfection.
last 30 mins: absolute dire fucking shit.

Reserves have been terrible, AB's went off the boil completely. Shag would have been pretty chuffed at halftime, but what do you say to that.

Match summary. Equals parts " fuck yeah" and " meh"

Lots to work on .

These reserves are a big step down.

Bring back Jordie, Coles bench problem partly solved. 3rd string not up to it

Stargazer

Best forward: Squire
Best back: Crotty

Well done ABs. Put the game away early.

Aaron Smith my MOTM. His clearance and direction of the play was superb.

Lacked patience in the second half. A few players thought they could score off first phase....

Perhaps there was an order from Shag to do that....to keep clown in the job.

Why do we look so shit all of a sudden. I don't get it.

Can happen when you're up 50 odd to sweet f.a., the mind subconsciously switches off.

Yeah but fuck, they switched right off. A lot of work to do to ensure the execution remains when the reserves come on. A big weakness currently.

Bang on, some of them had the self discipline of a six month old Labrador puppy.

Foley's pass in the Folau try was so far forward it drifted into our line!

ABs should go and hang their heads in shame about that last 30-35 minutes. Terrible rugby.
It's such a shame to finish the game that way, as it overshadows those brilliant tries from the first half...

Bring on next week!

Watching Aussie players celebrating scoring trys while being pumped for a record score really sums up where they are at.

Yep. Easing into cruise mode is one thing, but they switched into bloody awful can't kick can't pass can't tackle mode.

Thought Retallick was better than Squire. Cane was also huge making tackles. Rieko was also sensational.

Yeah moral victories are awesome, when I get home from the pub I'm going to have moral sex.

Being rather kind with the meh part of that summary I thought, so I fixed it for you.

Not excusing the last 30 minutes, just saying it can happen.
