[EOYT] Wales v Australia, 30/11/13

Yup. does a lot of commentary for BBC Wales

Ah, okay. The beginning of the game kept cutting out on me and I was only hearing the main commentator, and then Mr. Das came home and started talking over the game (he just has NO respect! :p ), so I was only catching bits of Marshall's comments. Then he got all crazy excited over something and I knew it was him. :D

317meters for Australia already in the first half..soooo glad the Aussies are back on track.
 
so haven't seen the first 30, but AAC and Genia the villains in the first half for the Wallies ?
 
Fantastic first half, every bit as good as last week if not better.
Aussie come back strongly and their back line and back row look a step above the Welsh. They are winning the breakdown but Wales are contesting strongly.
Was there a scrum in the first half?
I don't think so, Aussie have showed how to play the game without needing to get involved in scrums.
Wayne Barnes is an idiot but he has been an idiot to both teams.
Hooper is looking good, Warburton is being played off the park at the moment.
Wyn Jones is showing his class and Gethin Jenkins but I worry for Wales in the 2nd half if they cannot lift their performance and with another 5 minutes before Biggar can get back on Aussie have shown lethal killer instinct at times, and yet blown clear try scoring chances at others.
Adam Ashley Coopers goofy feet gifted North the first score of the game but North kept chasing and put himself there to take the opportunity.
Folau looks great.
Wales need a pace and intensity injection because I can see Aussie gunning them down if Wales do not slow the game down and bring the scrum into play.
 
Australia are so so talented as a bunch of players and I think it's excellent for Australian union for the team to be playing well and winning (some) games. It's got to be able to compete with league and performances like this must help

Wallabies are like League players playing Union. Passing, passing and more passing without rucking and mauling.

:D
 
silky running. Gotta love watching them Green n Gold...awesome step by Cummins.
 
It's going to take something incredible for us to win this... Might be tight but Aus are ridiculously in the ascendancey

:D

yes, I was just thinking that earlier. Very obvious tonight in particular. League is just in their blood.
 
Poo - gotta run and can't watch the rest of the game. :( Mebbe it'll show up on you tube in a day or two.

Wales being Wales. They're going to lose this, subjected to an Aussie side that looks formidable all of a sudden.
Then, they're going to beat everybody, or at least win the tournament in March.

They're just addicted to that program, they need their fix every year.
 
soooooo...Aussies 4 out of 5 this November. Not bad given their downfall just some time ago....:)

Yeah, Australia is the number one in League. Clearly, the league has great influence on the way they play Union.

For this reason, they have good backs but have problems in the scrum.
 
Has anybody noticed how when the big three southern hemisphere teams have penalty advantage on attack they still try and score a try. Whereas in the north, england especially, we sit on our arses and wait for the penalty to come. Mostly the scrum halfs fault for lack of inspiration or foresight.
 
Easy to see why the Australians on here were happy to get Barnes as referee.
