Italy v Australia
-
Oz hit back with a maul try, even though I thought the lineout throw was not straight (and there was a half jump by the Italian lock).
Italy lead 6-5 after the conversion was missed.

That’s about as screwed up as it gets , despite the strip the ball goes forward out of Wilson’s hands but the referee sees no knock on ..
Am I missing something.? -

Am I missing something.?I was surprised by that one. Italy goes for the strip, doesn't quite get it, then Wilson knocks on. Though it was clear and would be a quick overturn by TMO, but ref was adamant.
Also nice to see the Italians heads not to go down after that one.
2 minutes to go and up 7!

The capitulation of the Wallabies since their win over SA has been almost as bad as under Eddie Jones. They have lost 9 tests this year and easily could have lost to both Fiji and Japan as well. Schmidt is probably lucky that he has already resigned to be honest .

And that win was because SA were treating the match as a training run. Gave the aussies a false sense of confidence

A massive blow to Australia's chances of being seeded in the top six in their own World Cup.
Funny thing is because it their home WC, they always end up in pool A, so no disadvantage ending up outside the top 6 anyway.
