[2014 Mid-Year Test] Australia vs. France 07/06/14

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

The Wallabies will find it a lot hard to score when the opposition actual plays some defense. Like last season the only player in the Wallabies backline that will really worry the AB's is Folau (and Ashley-Cooper if he plays at 13)....

To be fair, France just haven't turned up today, so it's hard to know how good we'll be in the RC. The England V All Blacks match was much higher intensity, even if it was full of knock ons.

 

[Big Ewis]

I seriously understand FrenchFan in these situations...you see all this talent for France, how exciting they can be in the Top 14...you just want the Top 14 to start, watch some club Rugby...
just wtf, France. Lethargic. We look the worst.

 

[Big Ewis]

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

:lol: it's the end of the world for France today !

I couldn't see the ABs game (I was sleeping) I will see the game in 5 hours, but 4 tries against a Tier 1 team in 40 minutes isn't easy. C'mon bud!

 

[Big Ewis]

Aussies, just score another 2 or 3 and let's call it a day, thank you very much...I think the whole world has seen enough.

 

[William18]

That was a clear penalty try for me. No way was he onside.

And what about Toomua in defense? What about Kuridrani? Izzy Dag this year is a crappy IMO.

 

[Big Ewis]

beautiful try.

Badge bags a bit off the bone!

Hahaha mate it's now 5 tires! But in all honesty, I wanna be upbeat about it, but France are just one of those teams that make it very hard to read into. They can beat anyone when they're on, but this isn't one of those nights. It's great to beat them like this, but we all know they're missing a couple big hitters and at the end of the day the All Blacks have still held the Bledisloe Cup for 12 years now, so I try not to get too optimistic about beating them.

 

[SelimNiai]

That was a lovely try, great angles run by all

 

[Big Ewis]

Cummins looks like some character out of God of War

 

[Jaguares]

Amazing move! Amazing try, buddies. Is not a dangerous back line??? C'mon!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

After all that Wallabies pack get penalised for hit and chase????!!! Why no penalty for Michalak being offside and Joubert even saying it when he spoke to the TMO.

Justice in the end for the a Wallabies. Great try.

French Fans - can any other coach in France make a difference to this French team? Surely PSA must go after this series. Poor 6Ns for two years straight; poor Autumn series, probably 3 zip to the Wallabies this summer. Bring back Lievremont (sp).

What about Toomua and Kuridrani? They aren't exactly game-breakers. Don't get me wrong Australia has played well - how well exactly we won't know until they play against a side that actually plays some defense. Dagg has been crappy for years......

Anyways.... another Aussie try. Great interchange between Ashley-Cooper, Folau, and Cummins.....

Lagisquet's hands were all over that back move by France there.......you will play by the text book and there will be no flair even if the play is so telescoped that the Aussies can walk to the tackle!!!

a Biarritz fan talking !! true that...

For a start they would not pick Michalak who has played hardly any games this season for his club and select FTD at least in the squad!

 

[wertas]

PSA should go, for sure... Even taking into account insanity of Lievremont, he delivered. They lost 50+ to some team, but managed to beat top teams as well. While under PSA it is absolutely pathetic...
