Wallabies' first try good example of how to put your key ball runners into your first two phases. Bell crashes in, recycle to Valentini, luckily Arnold holds the pop

Try #2: good touch finder from Donaldson. Good lineout from Porecki. Good maul from the pack. Good finish from the skipper.

Porecki's strengths are set piece. Best lineout thrower we've had for a while and can scrum

Try #3: silly kick from Portugal 9, and we actually decide to counterattack. Fuck didn't appreciate how fast Foketi is.

Nearly goes to shit but Bell cleans up, then we're smart enough to use hands instead of going straight into contact. Funny how you can cover your rucks in time when you play on your feet.

You're not stopping Bell from there. Best prop we've had in so long. Wish we had Alaalatoa there with him

Frost's early knee injury looked like MCL to me. He's not well

Foketi looks fucked as well.

Great break from Perese

Kelleway is class. Cleaning up shit at the back, try saving tackles. Sensible on attack

Lol koroibete killed a guy.

Not sure that's a legal strike by Portugal at the scrum following - only front rowers can strike at the ball?

Portugal's 9 is an angry little cuss. Love it

Gotta say that tackle by the Portugal 2 on Pone is borderline illegal. Front on it becomes a cannonball. Side on its a different story

That said, Pone is a dumb fuck for pushing the opposition prop on the kick chase

McReight having his best game in some time

Lost our scrum on 56:30. Why the fuck is Arnold packing behind the loosehead? He should be the big lump on the right

Followed by a dumb late shot from Foketi and a dumb shoulder from Kerevi. Why? Just hold the fucking line and tackle low.

Aaaand the dumbest shit from Faessler. Deserved yellow.

TBH I have no issue with the knock on from Portugal 2. Ball goes forward into an opponent

Kerevi done for his troublesome forearm. What a goose.

Koroibete just hits too hard to wrap sometimes

@NTA said in RWC Week 4: Australia v Portugal:

Rinse and repeat for Portugal's second try

Why IFL kicks away turnover ball - even with the game in hand - shows where we are

Last minute. Better scrum.

Ref says "tackle" multiple times. Marky Mark just did not listen. Facepalm.
