    that's gotta be close to a yellow, surely?

    Ben Smith is such a freaky finisher. Give him no space.

    Taylor has looked well out of his depth so far.

    :lol:

    If we're talking about the Nonu thing, it was no call. Neither the ref or touch judges saw it. Expect some censure post-match.

    Read's professional foul after Christian nearly scored. The wallabies tried to recycle it - and we were horribly offside as we jumped on their half back. A penalty resulted but it should have been yellow. Everyone on the fern is in agreement.

    Why is there always a yawning gap on the right wing with JOC nowhere to be seen.

    My $10 bet starting to look better now.

    Hmmm. I was out of the room getting another beer when this went down, I suspect.

    I'd like to see Luatua show more at the ruck - but in open play he is superb.

    Aaron Smith has really come of age. All of my concerns about him appeared to be him just be on a learning curve. he has shelved his silly running game and is just clearing the ball quickly. He is not as good as a Bachop yet but he is starting to become decent. You still wouldn't put him in the top 5 half backs in the world. But he is starting to catch up.

    Fourie du Preez still had it when he got subbed on last week. Gutted he isn't starting over Pienaar today.

    Those "100 cap" celebratory caps still look bloody ridiculous.

    Indeed was contemplating posting that.

    A nice blazer would be better.

    I thought Ben Smith was on for another hattrick tbh.

    Jesus Aaron Smith reminds me a fair bit of George Gregan.

    He talks alot but Gregan was known alot for his defensive work which Smith isbt a shadow of.

    Yeah true, I haven't seen a lot of defensive work from Smith at all, but his pick and go instincts are pretty much exactly how George operated.

    Bloody hell. Talk about massively overrating Taylor's performance. I will admit he grew into the game and got much better as things went on, but you wouldn't know that based on what the anchors are saying.

    I thought his kicking was bloody woeful.

    100% agrred what did he kick 4/7? People would say Carter was having an ordinary night if he did that. Not to mention a few terrible clearing kicks and that shocking chip kick. Id give him a 6 or 6.5 not a 8.5 or 9 the tators were implying

    60% of his kicks to touch were incredibly poor.
