I've started looking at porn...

Good start so far from Australia, but our goal kicking still a bit poor...

 

[Darwin]

Hahaha... shocking by France there!

Comedy of errors......

 

[SelimNiai]

Zut alors. Whats french for "utterly shambolic"

 

[Big Ewis]

I'm gonna start jackin it now.

 

[RoosTah]

Toomua TRY!!! France wilting under pressure here... can't work out why they kicked for penalty before - Le Bleu aren't gonna win this one on penalties.

 

[wertas]

What a hell? 11 number touched the ball and ball was on the line, so? If it was attacking team, it would have been try. In defending team case, should it not be 5m attacking scrum?

 

[Darwin]

Half time. Australia playing well. France absolutely shambolic.

 

[RyotoTheDragon]

looks like a training run out there. lets hope the french can come back in the 2nd because this is just sad to watch.

Toomua, skip lunch, this is just boring. Have some champagne mate

Last two tries shouldn't have been awarded IMO.
Kuridani pass was clearly forward, and the French winger grounded the ball in goal - as Wertas says... if that was in the Aus in-goal it would have been awarded as a French try.

Australia dominant though.

I'm really surprised by the average effort from the French pack basically allowing Aus to play their game and if anything Aus has the edge in the set pieces as well. With such a platform look out, it could get ugly. TMO making two very dubious calls in favor of Aussie for the last 2 tries it has to be said. But then again you can't just say the points 'should' be subtracted as Aus are on the front foot and look like scoring so if not a try there, then a try off the 5m scrum etc. so no real harm done IMO.

The body language from the French is shocking. Michelak shaking his head, Machenaud playing with his hair. So frustrating if you're a supporter.

I don't think it was clearly passed forward. It was a 50:50 whether it was passed forward in my opinion hence the right call was (eventually) made.

France are better than this!! :s

 

[Tony Manx]

The body language from the French is shocking. Michelak shaking his head, .

I wish he would shake his team mates hands after announcing his retirement from international (or even all) rugby!!

Is this the swan song tour for PSA.........yeeah!!!

 

[Jaguares]

OMG!!! Someone said that Wallabies back line isn't dangerous? Wacht out, All Blacks!

 

[Peat]

There's something wrong and disturbing about the Aussies getting scrum penalties off of France.

 

[RoosTah]

18 phases and France ended up losing ground... They're just not in this.

Agreed, Mas is having a shocker at scrum time.
