ABs Vs. Wales - live chat, banter & honest reporting :)

 Wales up by 3 - penalty.

 Abs have not settled down yet, a few errors (missed tackles & kick charged down) .

 Barrett kicks out on the full.

 Wales are pumped. ABs will have to take the initiative

 Penalties around the break-down. Barrett misses a fairly easy penalty.

 2 sc rum penalties to ABs.

 Barrett kicks a penalty from around 50 meters 

 Wales made a big break but a forward pass ended it.

 Wales are up very fast on the game line. Barrett's kicks thru have been a mixed bag. SBW makes a good off-load

 The Welsh defence is up so fast & the ABs have not adjusted yet. They have no space to work with. We will see if Wales can keep this up.

 SBW has lost a few balls because of the lines speed of the Welsh & the fact that SBW he is receiving the  ball on the gain line - big collisions almost before he can control the ball.

 ...Aussies got their butt kicked and NZ not looking very flash thus far.. .Slade to replace Barret soon as their doesn't seem to be anyone directing the backs...all one out stuff...boy is Cruden missed...

 Savea on a barn storming run to score a try!
