We're lucky Tupou's largely been garbage. Helping keep us in the game. Momentum definitely with Aus at the moment.

Good start, pretty crap since. Absurdly fast and loose, and the base Aussie skill level looks a bit better which has given them the momentum as it got to HT.

McDermott by far the best 9 of all the games so far. Makes all the difference

The point being theirs is constantly brainless. It’s not just a case of running up fast

He looked all at sea for the first few minutes with several ineffective tackle attempts but thankfully he's come right.

Considering how many matches we've lost when going into last quarter in front I don't fancy our chances.

Yeah, exactly that - was as near to a 50:50 as you can get , so no reason to reverse the on field decision
