Is everyone still in awe of this Aussie side? They now have 1 win in 3 tests where they've scored and conceded 8 tries . 33.3% record, what will be in store in the RC next year? I don't see the improvement at all. They look reckless and very porous on defence, not the template I'd take to a World Cup, especially had I to face England at Twickenham in my pool. Any thoughts?

They have a problm in the Tight 5, but for the rest an excellent team - so a forecast at this stage is not really the ebst way to fo.
The Aussies may have lost, but their attack is seriously dangerous.
Yesterday the bounce went with Ireland in the manner they scored their tries, both were opportunistic.
Australia created each of their tries, and in my opinion they are better at creating tries from phase play than anyone, even the All Blacks.
Once they sort out their game management they will be very tough to beat.
Their tactical kicking is non existent. But watch out.
Nothing wrong with Ireland's defence, we struggled to break it down due to our tactics, Australia showed how to break down good defence.
Their scrum showed up very well against Ireland, I suspect they might struggle against England next weekend, their line out is decent and they have improved their breakdown.
In my view their biggest challenge is their tactical kicking or refusal to kick.
