Cracking movement and continuity
Boks
Match thread
Wobblies I
I’m missing this game for what I believe is a fair excuse: emergency call up to our 3rd grade side at [drumroll] … 10. Once I was assured the Club would provide hair gel couldn’t turn down the chance to hunt ruckrats and 1st5s from where they’d least expect it.
@MiketheSnow you may have been right Mike 
Do the Wallabies have any defensive line speed at all? Looks like their feet are in concrete.

Joe hates line speed.

Joe is also repeatedly let down by players with no mental strength when it matters (Ireland and Australia)
@MiketheSnow gave benefit of the doubt given how many times the Boks are offending at the breakdown.
Getting close to warning time for the Boks. Their breakdown accuracy has been quite poor.

Both sides loose and flying in off their feet
Joe Schmidt seems to be living on pre Farrell Ireland reputation.. hasn’t added much to any team he’s been involved with since then, and Ireland have been better under Farrell. A bit like Plumtree. Posers

That’s simply not true. He completely turned Ireland around from nothing, immediately improved the All Blacks when he became involved, and this current crop of Wallabies is better than the crop under Rennie or 2019 Cheika. The reality is that until the Wallabies get rid of the likes of White, Slipper, and the rest of the old crop, they’re next to uncoachable
Big take home for me from the Lions series was how poor the Australian defence was in Tests 1 and 2.
Rassie and Tony Brown were taking notes.

And at the breakdown someone is targeting Skelton below the knee to stop him stepping over and counter rucking / taking players out
I’m all for open running rugby but fuck me a forward pass is a forward pass
That inconsistency is doing more damage than a tight game to bring the neutral in
@MiketheSnow if that was Wales you know you’d be saying it was a try

The Boks would pump the Lions.
The Boks would be a close match against the Lions
