He's solid as a fucking rock.

He's not a Nonu. Doesn't need to be. Being solid works for me considering the recent midfield shit-fest.

[NTA]

Prediction: ABs bench accelerates things as their ruck work goes up a notch
Wallabies set piece runs out of puff and 3 quick tries between 50-65 minutes puts it to bed.

Maybe that's a little specific

@NTA I actually commented that before Alan went down thank you.

Irrelevant until the final whistle.

BB has been looking more active (and more of a -second? 10?) this game. I was critical of Mounga but he has tackled well and had some nice touches/passes. But as a team we are missing something still, is it leadership?

We are not winning the gain line today. Slow ruck speed.

Scott Barrett massive

Jordie direct running is making a massive difference in our attack too

He's solid as a fucking rock.

you again doubters.

He's been that guy since the Lions tour, just no one noticed

I farking did. And the insane thing is that if it hadn't been for a freak series of injuries he'd probably still be scratching round at fullback while Haavili mediocres up the midfield.

@Unite

Last 3-4 games he's been huge. Engine room work has been outstanding.

Yeah he has been excellent the last few

Scary thought. Foster out

Shhhh. Let me have my broken clock moment.

[Chris]

Weak shoulder form BBR again

[kev]

BBBR is missing his tackles

[canefan]

Poor option by Petaia. They were under advantage

Hope we survive one of his off games

[canefan]

Great maul D. Scooter again

[booboo]

Love the D

[nostrildamus]

I thought the Wallaby forwards were far bigger?
