I got hard reading this, his ability to interpret what he sees correctly is probably why he’s so terrible at reversing a car.

Can’t be easy going from player in a golden era of Australian Rugby to comments man during the current rabble.
Seeing them get their asses handed to them from a team that at times doesn’t get out of 3rd gear but still can win by 20 points. -
Genia said. "There were a couple of opportunities where they scored off the intercept and I missed Rieko on the short side but you take those 14 points out of it and I thought we defended really well."

Good to see "Comical Eddie" Jones influence still lingers in the Wallabies...

This thread is lacking discussion on how many more points than the Wallabies Akira would have scored if only he was selected by that coaching team who clearly can't afford Sky.

Be fair, at least there hasn't been any mention of Charlie Ngatai as the answer to our midfield problems.

The answer is ALL, we would have won by all the points more

@tim don’t know why more teams would not use this move simplistic in its Activation,but I guess you still need a bit power backed up with a bit of pace to finish

You only need the two fastest men in world rugby.

I loved TJP's reaction while BB was running to the line. I think he was acknowledging Ioane as the training ground move came off.

@bovidae and Ardie is pointing at TJ, so was some inside joke there...

2nd try of the arvo that only comes off because our scrum is absolutely dominant, and yet the props can't get any love in the voting

against Australia, it's hard to cover yourself in glory as a prop. You do your job, and the fancy pants show ponies get the plaudits.
ever 'twas thus

@tim Ioane did a lot there - straight past Genia, and then sucked in two defenders. Sweet as try, loved it!
Edit: thanks for the updated link!

The hard straight line he ran committed defenders and left space, in particular unguarded space, for BB.

Yep I enjoyed that too.
It's so recognisable that feeling of seeing a move comes off and just being stoked.
Heard one of them said it had never gone that well in training.

Possibly because in training they were against smarter defenders?
That is a really interesting move to watch frame by frame.At the start not a single Wallaby was watching the blind side. Maybe there was a call from Genia, but watch Hannigan.
He only has eyes for the play on the openside even though he can do fuck all to help if the ball goes that way. He should be trusting his team mates to clean that up and be looking at the blindside setup to position himself should the ball be recycled and come that way.
SBWs line and timing attracts a lot of attention meaning slow reaction when the ball goes to BB. Genia is first to notice and react, and is actually very switched on. Trouble is that Reiko is able to be well in motion with the ball and easily gets around him.
After that, as mentioned, Reiko does really well to back himself to get the ball past the next defenders before passing. That made a huge difference. -
