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.

Don't think so, parents from Fiji.

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

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.

Oz cursed by @canes4life

Picked out a tight forward on the edge to perfection.

Think France might pull away here. Not a great aussie bench either.

It's a blue wave at the moment. Some of the interplay passing is slick

Some easy metres out on that left wing for France.

left wing, right wing, and centre really

Did the Frenchie run behind a his forward pre try?

yes. then he joined the ruck from the Aussie side!

Aussie are done.

not forward IMO

Same problem as last week. Wallabies cant keep the same intensity from the first half + replacements not providing any impact.

Does McDermot think he's a 70s Swedish tennis player?

And then we get this !

I watched the Origin highlights this week.

if games keep being this fast the bigger humans are going to struggle (which is a good thing)

Wilson astonished he can't just go flying through a ruck. What a retard.

Not looking a great call right now.
