I was severely disappointed by the poor show Alexander in particular put up and Robinson was pathetic as well. They virtually cost the Wallabies loss or had a major part in that loss. The scrum of the Wallabies was the worst I have seen for years from an international side. In the backline the real disappointments were virtually every player on the park - Beale set the example early and their handling can at best be described as pedestrian and their defence was poor as well. I think there will have to be a lot of homework done by the Wallabies before the Championship tests a mere 6 weeks away.

Really put to the sword today, but you could see some evidence of this in the first test aswell and like I said then it all comes down to interpretation. For years (although they have gotten better under Deans) the Jellyfish scrum has been very good at been weak i'e milking penalty's and free kicks. All that happened today was a NH ref who knew what he was looking at and I bet a few of those penalty's may have even gone the other way had a SH ref been in charge.

Geez Mike the way you talk sometimes mate, as if you could put the jersey on and do better yourself. Pressure can be a hell of a thing and can effect even the best in the world in any sport and sometimes the occasion can actually ruin a game, world cup finals come to mind I can't remember 1 that has been a spectacle or a really really good game of rugby. We got lucky today, the decider had everything a wrc final should have and I for one loved it. Halfpenny was outstanding very much the man of the series.
