    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.

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

              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.

                  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.

                          That was a team that lost to Scotland

                          At home

                          That put 30 plus points on us .

                            It wasn't the starters easing off. The reserves simply weren't doing the job and as per the Third Test against the Lions, couldn't maintain pressure.

                            TJP was poor again - he's like a puppy that pisses itself from excitement. DMac was a nightmare at fullback with his errors and individualism.

                                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.

                                        His defence was okay, but his attack and game control was worst than normal. It was very poor.

                                          @antipodean yes TJ just needs to chill. That pass that DMac gave just after Kieron Reads big talk was symptomatic of 2nd half. Piss poor.
