GAD

I'm miles behind, I know we've scored when I see a post from @John Lambies Doos moaning about the restart.

Yeah, I'm moaning about Ashman's throwing, but the lineout is actually worse now. Sorry Ewan...

Absolutely. He could be great.

Ashman is a great rugby player. If we can sort out his throwing he's a potential lion.

It was a decent first half to be fair, much better from both teams than last week's shitfest. I'm not actually against the refs new advantage rules, but it's completely inconsistent with everything we've seen all weekend.

Moronic from McLean there.

Refs made a c**t of that. You can hear he knows it as well as he can't explain it. That is a horrendous call.

Have they just scored from our penalty advantage?

Couple of times this series refs have called advantage over because a team butchered a try on a pen. Wonder if they'd be brave enough to do that to the bigger teams.

That's a terrible call

Can't catch a kick off....

Unless it's Scotland of course! These same guys pretty much only judge Scotland players on bad results.

Refs been saying "next one in the bin" for the last 30 mins.

Wales are pretty shite, but they are dead hard and make teams fight for everything. If only Scotland could have that mindset.

Jesus, what a try to lose.

He's been fucking terrible here. Australian attack has been a shambles all in. Throw it along the line (England help out by missing every first tackle) until you run out of room, throw the ball in the general direction of some players, knock on or give away a penalty and repeat.

What an utter c**t Australia have made of this half.

Danny Care off because he's genuinely been one of Australia's best players.

This is such a bad game.

Definitely, was surprised it wasn't. Been a pretty messy game, but Australia the better of the two, though heres another honking mistake.

Yes, we will really struggle to get out our group, Ire and SA are just much better. Yeah, we've been pretty unlucky with that draw, I think the group we play in the quarters is France and NZ as well? All because World Rugby did the draw based on form about 4 years ago. Going to be some real shite in the semis with some much better teams sitting at home.

I'm not sure England or Australia are particularly good teams right now. Wish we had them in the WC.

I thought pretty much all the Kiwis playing for Ireland were much better than their opposite number. Gibson Park and Aki in particular.

I guess if Townsend refuses to play Kinghorn anywhere other than 10, with Hutchinson, Graham, Huw Jones and Rowe all injured, Hogg, Hoyland and Maitland at home then there isn't really anyone else in the squad, is there? Got to be McLean and Smith.

I genuinely have no idea what that team is all about. Surely White and Graham must be injured? At least the pack still looks relatively strong, which is where the game was won last weekend, but it's mental that every other position is now open to rotation on this tour except 10. I get the whole thing about giving players a chance and seeing what they can do, but most of these guys have had chances. Why can we not just put our best team and hopefully win the series? It's the same fucking about that cost us a chance at beating the Boks in the autumn. Ireland never f**k around like this in these games, they just pick their best team and win.
