Niggly Coles has turned up. I’d prefer he concentrated on the game. He nearly left the ball exposed at the back of an earlier ruck by being more bothered with pushing a Wallaby.

We don't have much of an engine room in that pack. It shows

Beauden seems to be very motivated.

I like it. That’s what he can do from the back.

A few Wallabies will be feeling the bumps from these runs.

ALB.

I would love Thor to cop a big hit. I’m not a fan of players leading with the raised knee.

As the commentator said, nothing subtle about that attack.

Isn't it strange how a pass in front of a player gets them onto the front foot.

Nice try that - great bust Goodhue

Patrick is fat and lazy. He is no lock for the ABs.

What a soft cock

We got in each others way there (Cane and Moody) and Oz made us pay - well taken.

Our kicking is beyond abysmal

All good tries through both games so far. Good build up for that one.

We are getting hammered at the breakdown, and no tight forwards giving us any momentum, we need Beauden at first five imo, Jordie at 15. The backline looks wrong, and our tight 5 are spectators by design hanging out in the backline way too often.

God we are getting out muscled and enthused out there

I can't remember a single kick that we chased properly and offered any challenge to the catcher.

Frizzell is getting exposed in this game, we need Hoskins out there. Cane and Savea has been immense so far

Scrum and lineout not good.

Dare I say we need another Barrett out there.

Frizell and Tuipolutu are anonymous .Not something you want from your "hard men".

It got better, from a bad start. But set piece has been poor in general

This allblack team doesn't look or feel right.

Hanigan is Schrodinger’s wallaby. Is simultaneously the best and worst player on the field right now.

The game is obviously too fast for Tuipolotu, he struggles in fast paced games when the forward are going backwards, what is the point of Frizzell again? He should be cleaning rucks out instead of being in the backline, we got Ardie out there who is a quicker and more powerful runner. Our 6 year old pod system is getting exposed,

Foster out!

A strange kind of half.

The AB's look the more dangerous team in broken play, but the Wallabies look much more organised and structured in general attack. Both teams are missing tackles but defending well as units. The set piece is even. The breakdown is even. The team which makes the fewest errors and takes their chances will win the match.

I've said for a while that Moody and Whitelock are our most important players at the moment, given our poor depth at loosehead and lock. We're now without both. This is probably the weakest tight five we've fielded in a long time - hopefully they can stand up in the second half.

Just realised I had no idea who Hodgman is. I've seen him on the bench in Soup and thought he was the other Umaga-Jensen.
