(for which every fucking Brumbies fan has a thousand words of criticism)

Bumbies fans don't know what wider channels are.

Don't they think it's something to do with aspect ratio on the TV?

I'll be interested to see if the Welsh carry on with their more adventurous style from the tour to NZ. Howley will probably have a few different ideas too.

@Bovidae
We'll either click and romp away a la the demolition of England a couple of seasons back or clutch defeat from the jaws of victory as is our M.O. against Australia.

Please be the former.

Please

You can't keep losing tight games, surely.

[No Quarter]

Is this on TV in NZ? Can only find a replay on the Rugby channel?

@MiketheSnow

So you just need to find a ref who hates Australia with the same pathological hatred that Walsh has for England, eh?

[Stargazer]

@No-Quarter Doesn't seem to get live coverage, only a replay. They show the Barbarians game live at the Rugby Channel; weird that the Wallabies game can't be broadcasted on Sky Sport 1. They're showing V8 Supercars H/L instead.

Personally, I wouldn't have set the alarm for the Wallabies game; for the Baabaas game I will get up though because their games are usually very entertaining and also interesting now with all those Super Rugby players in the line-up.

Aussie offload game looking good so far. Welsh with some big hits

3-3 after 10

[mimic]

There's live coverage of the Australia vs Wales game..
Rugby pop up channel..
Australia is tearing up the Welsh defence but they can't just seem to finish it..

[Billy Tell]

Wales are woeful.

But the wallabies are blowing chances left right and centre.

[mimic]

Inside ball does it.. aussie finally in

[mimic]

Kuridrani in.. poor defence there by Wales
Can't help but feel that the floodgates will open

Australia 20-3 after 37 minutes

[Stargazer]

Stupid idiots from Sky. Not putting this game in their TV guide and not announcing it on Twitter. Will watch the replay; now watching Baabaas.

[mimic]

@Stargazer tbf, I always expect sky to show coverage (what's the point in having the rugby channel otherwise?).. so I just flicked through the channels when it was approaching game time

[mimic]

Australia win 32-8

[Stargazer]

@mimic Yeah, if I had been awake I'd done the same, but I had set the alarm for the Baabaas game.

[akan004]

As poor as the Welsh were, the wallaby forward pack really are starting to deliver. The two locks and Timani have given this pack some serious physicality and go forward. They look likely to be our strongest challengers in 2017. Also starting to see Byrne's influence set in in terms of the offloads from not just the backs but also the forwards. I am picking them to roll England at the end of this tour.

[Billy Tell]

Reckon the wallabies will get too fatigued to beat England.

Would love it though - the sound of rapid deflation would be deafening...

@mariner4life - steamed, boiled, grilled, or fried?
