Wallaby rugby IQ significantly superior to that of the ABs.
Not looking a great call right now.

if games keep being this fast the bigger humans are going to struggle (which is a good thing)
The smaller men for France have really thrived in this half.
Their big man have been cooked for some time.
Another case of teams automatically picking players because of experience and not form. Wright should not have started tonight.

France are playing champagne rugby. It is a joy to watch.
It’s exactly why we need to fight fire with fire and start giving the likes of Numia, Samisoni, Aumua, Tosi etc starts so we can blow teams off the park.
So players out on their feet for much of the second half and Schmidt brings a fresh player on with 5 to go…..

Cane, Token Cane (recuperated in Wellington), Cane, Cane etc? We just need 3+ more Canes?

Wright's generally been pretty good tonight, no?
That dodgy pass was nothing to do with being a bit undercooked.
But yes Campbell was pretty good last week.
