    Foley not getting much love at g and g , a couple of people have pointed out how weak Beales defence is. St Bonocock is their man of the match .

    I've never been there, what's it like?

    Also, as Kirwan noted Foley was responsible for 10 points for the Wallabies, stopped 5 and set up 5. He should get some kudos for that?

      We need two Ben Smiths. I think he's better than Jordie at fullback.
      Amazingly, Naholo didn't make any massive errors.
      Squire is close to be sealing the 6 jersey.
      Sam Cane is a beast on defence compared to Ardie.
      Retallick was awesome (again) but he's no Chris Tregaskis.

      That may be the truest thing ever said on the Fern.

        Well, that was utterly unsurprising.

        What’s going on with the Aussie fitness?

        Mostly Queenslanders, no doubt. They're not very creative, hate Beale for getting that slag of Link's sacked, and bringing Link down with it, and think Quade is the answer.

        Seems to have regressed a little from what we've seen in the last year or so, eh?

        TBH I dunno. Social media is saying we have the players to do it, and I agree IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF we get everything right on the night and the ABs fluff a few lines. But how likely is that?

        I missed most of the second half as the wife needed a chauffeur to drop her and a friend off, and that gives me nooky points which was more important that watching us lose again. But we seemed to execute in the first half reasonably well, bar a couple of those stupid mistakes the ABs feed off.

        The rest of the chat was around neck rolls. 🤷

        My favourite quote of the night:

            When you don't have pay TV, you can't watch a lot of rugby here.

            Rodda is a solid player. I don't think Arnold would necessarily fix our lineout issues or anything - he's a big unit but maybe a bit stringy for all that.

              @nta Rodda is fine, it's Simmons on the bench ahead of Arnold which is the biggest House hands in the air.

                              @nepia let me just say the fit was tight and she isn't shy of showing it. Think she was a bit of an ugly duckling in high school (back before I knew her). Now of course she's hot but a bit high-maintenance*, and a tad slender for my tastes. That's OK because I'm not fucking her, just looking at her.

                              *I refer to her as Imelda Marcos after the wife of the Philippino dictator for two decades starting in the 60s, and her reputed shoe collection of over 3000 pairs.

                                    Well, shit. BB with the statement game. Good on him, because he was awesome. I loved, loved, that dummy and run when Hooper pushed up and shut down the outside shovel pass - "Fuck it, it's mis-match anyway, I'm gone".

                                    BFA was all kinds of awesome tonight, and I thought that Squire had one of his best games in the black jersey.

                                    I'lll rewatch that game tomorrow and definitely write something, about someone or someones. I'm tempted to look at Goodhue, who I thought was a few shades off the awesomeness of last week.
