Yeah that sort of heavy running at 8 is quite useful to have.

French pack being outmuscled by Wallabies? Anyone predicting this? Sacre bleu!
Maybe they're hurting from last week...
21-12

French and their Top 14 are overated. Bunch of showpony fluffybunnies.

What a moronic play by wright

what a sequence of play!

The game is as loose as anything I’ve seen this year.

Why would Wright kick that… little bit of patience there and they were likely in

Did McReight ground that?

That was incredible hustle by Mcreight

I thought he did! Deliberately or not.

Brilliant from McReight

Guy in space right on his shoulder too.

I would have shot Jordan for that.

This ref is missing a helluva lot.

More action in 2mins of this game than there was in our whole test before.

He’s on his knees

Those French forwards are sucking in big ones.

Man when the 50/50s come off for Su'aali'i he looks like almost unplayable.

Some good sidestepping and decisions today!

Surely this is not the top French pack?!

@Kirwan
Sure - the exception rather than the rule and Italy and not France.

Meafou and Jegou are the only players in the pack that regularly feature in the top side.

Wallaby rugby IQ significantly superior to that of the ABs.

Just turned this on, about 8 mins to half.

Fucking frantic!

Good on the Wobs having a crack after the siren.

That's a brutal take.

Valetini the clear best player of the Nations Championship so far. Any kiwi blood in the bloke?

Great kick there.

More tongue in cheek. He’s a weapon when on form.

The TMO interuptions are too much. The game is too fluid to keep doing this

this is shit by the officials

Sadly the North dont give a shit and do what they want.

how did the French fuck that up?

ffs the French should have been in twice ...wow

great turnover

well they have to kick to each other because they won't bloody pass to free players

McReight (sp) is on fire.

Aussie running on fumes currently.

that pass in the 22 was an "interesting" decision

Jalibert has been superb in the first 10 of this second half.

I think the Aussies are just holding on here

Picked out a tight forward on the edge to perfection.
