What a frikin donkey! Anyone else could have scored that, frankly, someone Shane's size should have been able to bulldoze over given that angle! He's not fast, can't step, poor tackle and get knocked down to easily. Can you tell I rate him?

In other news, better team from England, still not sold on strettle, but otherwise if Manu can pass, I reckon they'll be ok to watch. They've got to try something different as they can't take the boks physically.

Ryan Jones, Rees, AW Jones and intrestingly Beck in for Wales. Like the look of Beck always reminds me of Will Greenwood.

Beck's form for Ospreylia recently has been nothing short of excellent. Nice comparison to WG there as well. Agreed.

OK, so he didn't have too much to do here, but this is some truly lovely rugby;

Aye, I can't wait to see Visser. I'm not sure if I'm going to get up at 3 in the morning to watch the game online or avoid all social and online contact so I can watch the repeat in the pub in the afternoon.

Better England team, but with JJ in at 13 Manu needs to pass. LAncaster picked a team to score IMO, but 13/11/14 and 15 have got to be prepared to run in support of the offload.

Agree with the Parling comments, need someone to get amongst them. Johnson is quick but the Bok's are nullyfing him in the tackle with size.

Saw JJ live a couple of times and he was impressive both times. His old coach rates him very highly said has best feet he's seen.

Well done Visser things have to be dire in Scotsish rugby if they have to rely on the Dutch for good players 😉

If the line out isn't straight, the ball changes sides. If the scrum is fed in to the second row, nothing happens.

SORT. IT. OUT!

That's clutching at straws I'm afraid. It's accepted practice nowadays.

I know, and that wasn't aimed at one team in particular, but at the game itself.

It may be accepted, but it's damaging the contest of the scrum.

Agreed, but they're having so many problems refereeing the scrum that I think they're just happy to see the ball come out the back!

Wales really are the villege idiots of world rugby, cant line a lineout and then when we finally do the ball gets kicked out on the full. Australia have mostly looked beatable and wales looked good with ball, so the only way they can lose is by refusing to have the ball, so thats wht they do FFS. The good news the Lions will murder this lot next year!

Welsh set piece is very poor, can't see anything but an oz win based on the first half
