    Wales are woeful.

    But the wallabies are blowing chances left right and centre.

    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.

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

    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.

    Reckon the wallabies will get too fatigued to beat England.

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

    Infidel has identified the "Problem with Israel".....Folau that is.

    I noticed today, he can't run with the ball in hand and pass while he runs. Which makes Folau at centre a bad idea.

    There was one play about 10 minutes before half time I think, Folau had the ball on the right wing in space, Aussies really coulda shoulda woulda scored such was the space, Folau made the least of the opportunity which was thwarted by the Welsh. Same situation ABs would have scored 7 or 8 out of 10 times.

    When Folau gets the ball in the line, he seems to tuck the ball under one wing and then run into contact, but don't think he can run and draw and pass, his instinct is always to run. Has a great offload when he is held or tackled, but the lack of passing game I think is why he is not as effective as he should be.

    Just watched it. Fuck we should have had 50!

    Coleman and Arnold finally bring that team some utter fluffybunny. Loved watching both of them just smash in again and again.

    As I predicted, Wales don't have the linespeed of NZ so we had more space to work in, and Foley used every bit it. Needs to work on his kicking tho.

    Nice to have a game where Wales were never in the hunt.

    yeah, something that was all but ignored in all the debate around the pooper was the fact that the soft as butter locks were a much bigger problem. long overdue change there, and it is paying immediate dividends.

    In a two horse race we were very fortunate to come second best.

    Larkham's DNA was all over this win. Some beautiful angles of running at pace from depth just cut us apart.

    Baffled that Australia didn't keep on their foot on our throat.

    Thankfully they didn't, otherwise it would have been 50.

    @MiketheSnow commiserations. The Wallabies looked to run out of puff in the final 15. Oz won the collisions and the backs seemed to grow a leg from that.

    There was an element of that, but I think our reserves made things a little disjointed, particularly the forwards.

    6-2 Bench. Not exactly surprised, given the forecast had a chance of rain

    In the pack only the hooker and locks survive from the QF side.

    A new look midfield. The wing selections are interesting. Where's Seymour? Maitland had been in the naughty box but gets a start. Visser's a quality player and I quite like that other winger Hoyland.
