[RWC2023] Wales vs Australia (24/09/2023)

[BrokenWing]

Whats with the shiny buttock patches on the Aus shorts? Covering sponsors?

I think they're like the grip strips on the ribs of the shirts to help catching the ball…. Maybe for a bit of traction in the scrum?

 

[Lé Ddanno]

The weirder thing is perhaps Australia being able to scrum?

Haha, fair

 

[Crash Hamster]

If I were playing SH for Australia, I'd be passing the ball into the obstructing Welshman every ruck.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

The whole welsh team is fitter and more cohesive than ever narrative has reached the worldwide feed ffs

 

[Ferrari333SP]

Wales have made 101 tackles, to Australia's 25 - wtf

 

[Lé Ddanno]

Is that tackle stat right?

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Wales can't scrum, what the hell is going on

I would have expected the wallabies to be even more dominant

 

[ThebigARena]

Great cover tackle from the Aussie ii won't even try and say his name

 

[ThebigARena]

Davies is lucky there he was in cloud friggin 9

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Kerevi looks nothing like the player before his knee/ACL injury playing 7s last year. Also has a recently broken hand, which probably doesn't help. He was the best attacking 12 in rugby in my opinion.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Not keen on that law tbf, if the balls out it's out it should just be as if it was open play

 

[Lé Ddanno]

******* march them 10 if he won't shut up

 

[BiggusLaddus]

Gordon was very poor against Fiji, but it isn't working for Donaldson at all.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Every time I see Josh Adams' face I just get so depressed

 

[Lé Ddanno]

How on earth is Donaldson still on the pitch

 

[Umaga's Witness]

Cmon fiji

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

North did brilliantly there. Almost the killing blow.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Asking for an advantage after being held up over the line from a penalty on halfway

 

[Bruce_ma gooshvili]

Every time I see Josh Adams' face I just get so depressed

I'm just relieved it still has two eyeballs, after last time out.

I get where it comes from cause you'd have heads flying toward feet back when rucking was active. Now that rucking isn't as active it probably isn't as necessary. Even then you saw the scrum half try to control it with his feet while he was diving towards the ball.
