Wallabies vs Fiji

NTA

@Duluth ^ what he said.

Hanigan is a good prospect. Maybe a few kg short of the bashy blindside we're used to, and a little young, but very handy in the air, and good support runner.

This is the period to bring some of these guys in. Just need to make sure - as a team - we don't trip over the three teams ranked lower than us.

Its a 2019 plan by Cheika.

Crucial

The clown is starting to wake up and smell the shite. Moore should have been dumped last year at the latest.
Why not name the reserves? Isn't it a team of 23 now? Don't your plans get made around the whole group?

I like the look of Hanigan - the best Aussie 6 prospect in a long time. Looks to have the dimensions and skills for it. Might need to develop a bit of mongrel.

So Stephen Moore is Wallaby captain but doesn't start. Interesting.

I guess they're still trying to work out who the 24th man will be.....

I like the starting lineup. Hunt should bring a bit of steel to that Wallaby midfield.

Cheika in non "edgy" team naming shock.

Tim

@Bones I hope he doesn't let Steve Hansen wind him up again this year.

Bones

@Tim He's obviously a humbled man.

I wonder if Vern Cotter will have a go 😀

Folau yellow card. Was a bit unlucky actually. Pulled out almost straight away but that's the Law

Aussies up 15-0 nearly 20 gone

NTA

Wallabies looking solid but not quite putting everything together. Khunt is having a good game. So is debutant Hanigan

NTA

Nice set piece try to Folau.

Wobs up 25-0 after 56

Stargazer

Fiji clearly suffering from not having some of its more experienced players. Nadolo is a huge loss.

Stargazer

That was a great try from the Fijians.

KiwiMurph

Yeah that 10-12-13 combo looked pretty good for the Wallabies.

They showed some physicality in the forwards too.

Young Hardwick should have had longer on the park. He is a fucking animal that kid.

Comfortable win but that offload game of Fiji's nearly made it a lot closer. Flush the shitter, move on.

@KiwiMurph just as well you spoilered that bro. Could've really ruined some people's weekends.
