Watching the highlights we did score some very pretty tries. Lots for the casual fan to gush over. We are absolutely lethal in an open game and there are some very talented players running around.

Watching the Boks with half their team out suffocate the Argies this morning, I was thinking how the first-string of available ABs team would stand up against the first-string Boks. It'll be interesting.
I am also dreading what the Argies will be like against us in a few weeks if we keep making stupid mistakes rather than actually doing the hard yards.

So, yellow or orange? Wallabies uniform was confused as their rugby. Neither is gold!

@machpants Obviously, the jerseys are new and they're wearing "old" jackets. Horrible colour combination though; it hurts my eyes.
Socks are old too, tips are yellow, not orange. Bizarre choices of colour

Doesn't look like they live in the "lucky country" to me.

When I say some clothes or a haircut looks stupid my wife says ‘ it’s fashion ‘ like that makes it all ok ,
Maybe it’s fashion

Well, I suppose they are bloody lucky they don't have a 10 with a haircut like Mounga's

Smith seems to like it.
With the demise of the Central Vikings (thank fuck) there's not many opportunities for players to get an orange jersey for their collection.
I reckon Tate's going to wear that AB jersey around the house.

Watched the game again. Best ABs performance since the Quarter Final against Ireland in 2019. Not getting too carried away as Australia are a second-rung international side but nice to see some significant improvement from the ABs at last. Better physicality, good option taking, communication and execution.
Still areas for improvement: the scrum, defence, kick offs.

Be interesting to see if there be many changes for the 3rd test. Personally I doubt it,maybe alb to come back in and ioane back on wing and jordie maybe to 15 as he looked good when he got on the field

Reckon 8, 11, 15 are the likely change areas - which will lead to change at 13 as Rieko goes out again
Havili has come from nowhere to be a seriously good 12.
