Well, minutes 35 to 65 were good.
That's what's so frustrating.
It's almost as though the AB's have a Play-like-Shit/Play-like-Gods switch and someone's lost the instruction manual.
-
Safe to say we have a lot of work to do despite the win.
Can this current AB setup turn it around, I’m not so sure. Especially not with Foster in charge.

It's also the quality of the Assistants that is the problem. The defence looked good, then it didn't. The forwards looked shit, looked good, then looked shit again. The attack is still miles away.

Drew Mitchell mentioned the class of the ABs shining through, not where I am sitting. Two mediocre sides with mercurial at best coaching. Possibly the Wallabies bench is stronger than their starters and the ABs bench is a serious step down (apart maybe from Jacobson and big Karl).

Both of which gave away dumb penalties…

I'm still watching the last minute. Where the fuck is the yellow card?
Keep watching it comes soon.

yes I said maybe, still think they are worthy ABs though
-
Postives: Smith still great, Paps awesome, Whitelock a good leader, Havili and AB beginning to gel, Bower better than expected.
-
Wallaby tries in the end saved us from playing with a player on the naughty chair. Advantage, new advantage, new advantage, try...
-
On Reece, he does work very hard, but he's also problematic - made34 metres, beat two defenders, was involved heaps, but also conceded two turnovers (highest in the backs), made 5 tackles, but missed 3 (shared highest in the backs with Havili).
Havili did well but apart from those 3 missed tackles (he made 12 to be second to Paps in total made), he also was penaized twice and conceded a turnover. Beat four men though, which led the team.
-
@sparky how so? we still scored more points.

What was the penalty count in the end, seemed like a very stop start game.
I think I heard 17-9.

Ha. To be fair there should've been one about five minutes earlier. Not a big fan of a try rubbing out what should be a yellow

I guess it makes it harder for people to say the Ref favoured us

Well it's better than Bledisloe 1 last year.
Win
A win still means something to the players, so I’m happy for the team and coaches.
The win gives us one hand on the Bledisloe and that is nothing to sneeze at.
