Spring Tour: Australia vs Wales - 1st Test (09/06/2012, 10:00 GMT)

They need to keep hold of the ball, not kick it away.

So is our forward pack being outmuscled by the "diminutive" Aussies Preistland's fault as well?

 

[Bluemoon]

Think battle of the 7's has been a draw. Overall the battle of the breakdown though goes Australia's way, especially in the first half.

Wales have been poor in general so I think if they can prepare better over the week they'll perform better next test.

Perhaps leaving Biggar behind was a mistake? Preistland

Probably

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great chase from McCabe

 

[TRF_Cymro]

How can Joubert tell Pocock to move and he just stays there and then the ball spills out because of Pocock's interference and then just goes on and says play on? What logical sense is that?


Higginbottom has been everywhere tonight.

 

[Thingimubob]

How the hell did Barnes get away with such blatant lazy running, straight into where Wales where passing the ball? Bullsh*t call

I cant accept this. Pocock has outplayed warburton totally

 

[Bluemoon]

Terrible pass from Beck.

Thats what i thought.....was expecting a penalty for sure but never came

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Pocock has been better than Warburton because he has won more ball.

I'm not sure how I can phrase this without sounding like I'm blaming the ref, something I try not to do unless its 100% justified;

Pocock has had some favourable calls.

There

You'r crazy :lol:

 

[Davy-boy]

That's it then, it's all over but the moaning!!!

 

[welshglory]

For christs sake Davies learn to draw and pass, he always does that

 

[Bluemoon]

I think they have both given ample penalties away. And made their own turnovers.

I'll agree with you that the breakdown has been dominated by Australia but that's because of the huge effort from the Aussie 6 and 8.

Just my opinion though!

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Seconded, unfortunately.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Wales ability not to take their chances and sluggish work at the breakdown cost them any chance of winning the game.

 

[SelimNiai]

You'r crazy :lol:

What else is new :lol:

Yep. Poor.
Williams over Beck was a poor call that we all saw.
Australia were ready to go from the start, we took over 40 minutes.
I think we missed Ian Evans at the breakdown, he and AWJ to start.

Hook to FB, Halfpenny to wing. Aled Brew on the wing... Oh god no.
Priestland was confused, trying to be Berrick Barnes.
