    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....

      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.

            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.

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

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

                      Damn, that was frustrating! Worst defensive effort in the 2nd half by an AB team for such a long time. Don't fucken say "glass half full" or "so negative" or any othe BS. It was shit!

                        @KiwiMurph Reiko got stood up by Folau in the first half a couple of times but was much more physical in defence in 2nd half. Great on attack.

                                    We lost a heap of backline structure when A Smith and Crotty went off. Didn't help that SBW was seeing tweety birds, either.

                                        Strange. I didn't think TJ was that poor. He was one of the few bench players who IMO made a good effort of trying to stop the Wallabies getting back into the game.

                                          I like ALB as a player, but we seem to lose our shape when Crotty isn't on the field. He copped a nasty tackle from behind right in the lower back region.
