That’s a shame for Alaaalatoa…
I got into a few shitfight son PR suggesting his replacement Taniela Tupou isn’t as good as they think. Great in open field play with speed and power but he’s a front rower and I dunno whether he’s really all that good at the coal face.
Guess we’re about to see.

There were so many players coming up to shake his hand I thought they were going to set a queue and a book of condolence the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the Queen died.

I agree, I don't really rate him as a scrummager

20 phases. To be fair to Aus, they usually go stand under the posts after just 10 phases….so they are stepping up today.
Valentini has been immense for them.

No surprise that Australia are giving the ABs a touch-up though expected a scintillating game.
But all this kick-slog could be ideal World Cup prep.

Admittedly I don't watch Aus religiously, but I feel like he gets broken in pretty much every game.

That's a red. He fully led with the should, no attempt to wrap, so it's always illegal and thus no mitigation can be applied.
