RWC Week 4: Australia v Portugal
-
Lost our scrum on 56:30. Why the fuck is Arnold packing behind the loosehead? He should be the big lump on the right
-
Last minute. Better scrum.
Ref says "tackle" multiple times. Marky Mark just did not listen. Facepalm.
A hard watch all round for an Aussie I’d guess. You have my sympathies mate, we’ve been down this road of late.
I did see some positives though, albeit just personnel at this stage. Bell, as you say, had a good all round game and I thought Porecki put his hand up too. Sideshow Bob on the wing is a bit of a live wire and will feature in a good few Wallaby teams to come. McDermott has the game I feel and will grow into things with a bit more time. He could do with a decent 10 outside him though. Someone with a bit of experience would not go amiss…
A stat that surprised me a little though was that Slipper is approaching Gregan’s caps record. I mean he’s ok and doesn’t let the side down, but all time great he is not.

@Catogrande TBF he is a better loosehead than THP.
And in a country that doesn't value scrummaging, longevity has appeal
