Spring Tour: Australia v Wales - 3rd Test. (23/06/2012 05:00 GMT)

Not a fan of scrum halves screaming like that at the hooker whilst throwing in! Personally feel they should be penalised.

Edit. Ryan Jones doing his nut about that decision!

Further edit: high tackle on Davies there?

 

[Thingimubob]

Shock horror we get no luck at the breakdown decisions thought we'd be used to this by now
My attempts at watching this match are failing miserably due to terrible streams/terrible connection...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Wow high tackle missed.

 

[Darwin]

Great run by Davies, but he really needed some support!

 

[big ginger 8]

Rees is playing like he has point to prove. It's been said a million times before but you just can't get in anyway isolated against a team with Pocock.

 

[Mooly]

Wallabies defence leaves some to be desired, far too many holes.

 

[dullonien]

Bloody hell Alun Wyn, catch the f***king ball at the restart!

 

[Darwin]

Warburton off.... big chance for Tipuric to test himself against the worlds best.

 

[dullonien]

Warburton off. Didn't look right. At least we have Tips on the bench.

Good to see Joubert wise to the Wallabies sealing off.

Arg, Matthew Rees still can't throw a ball!

 

[Thingimubob]

Well losing Warburton is a blow, but at least we get to see Tipuric get a change!
On another note, I might actually despise Matthew Rees... sort your bloody throwing out!

 

[big ginger 8]

Rees' throwing is going to suffocate you.

 

[dullonien]

How are we still in this match after all the mistakes we've been making?

What does Ryan Jones have to do to secure a turnover?

Edit. Basic mistake again from Phillips!

That's the kinda kicking we want to see from Priestland.

 

[big ginger 8]

Neither hooker can actually throw the ball incredible.

 

[Darwin]

Great kick by Priestland!

 

[dullonien]

Why not try to build an attack at the end there, instead of a long range drop goal?

Not a great first half from Wales. Soo many mistakes.

 

[Thingimubob]

Why not try to build an attack at the end there, instead of a long range drop goal?

Was thinking exactly the same, we havent exactly been down there much, so might as well keep hammering at the Aussie defence and see if we can force at least a penalty. Silly game management there

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Wales making basic errors all round. Frustrating as anything.

Slightly disappointed that the late hit on Halfpenny from Timani was missed. I also can't understand why Wales are penalized for not rolling away but some of the Oz boys are just allowed to freely stay and make no attempt to role.

 

[Darwin]

Not a great first half from Wales. Soo many mistakes.

Agree, though it is difficult to build an attack when you have a halfback who consistently slows down any quick ball the forwards manage to produce....

 

[Bluemoon]

Once again Welsh mistakes making this very easy for Australia to attack through giving them an endless amount of ball.

If we had been playing NZ in this series we would have lost by a lot more because you can't be this poor at this level.

At least we've changed the silly bomb from the 22 tactic from last week.

Play a bit more territory and cut out the mistakes and at least if it's a third loss we've played with a bit more respect.

 

[TVH11]

How have we managed to win the games we have without a solid platform at the lineouts?? How are we are consistent in producing hookers that can't throw in??

I've seen it at age grade that coaches turn to a thin prop and tell them your playing 2 and throwing in, but at a professional level its just silly we have no accurate throwers?? Arrrgghhhhhhhh

Breakdowns a mess as usual, Pocock is a beast. Very clever in that he's very choosing in which rucks to contest in.

Nice to see the early hit penalized! Must cut out silly school boy errors
