The refs just admitted to a mistake. Fair play

I much prefer Botham at six compared to Plumtree.
Botham is going well today, I like Plumtree but he and Wainwright don’t work together, they are a bit too loose

Better defence then. Really managed to slow down Aussie ball until we could isolate a carrier and force a turnover.

That was a definite half or two halves. Shame we were all at sea for the first 20

Really encouraging, Griffin is mincing Bell, should have been a penalty to Wales again a few minutes ago

Botham seems to be partnering Morgan nicely. I think the combination is better. Plumtree might be a better choice for a team like France or South Africa where we might need a bit more dog, but the backrow today has done well. So far.

Agreed. Aussies very lucky to get away with that.

Unsurprisingly Bell has been replaced by Slipper.

Silly penalty to give away there, just when we started to put a bit of pressure on. We need calm heads to make the most of the yellow card period

Wales look really poor sometimes, ridiculous few minutes of play, and they have a man advantage

He had a winger outside him as well. Should have pass or booted thy ball

TrynAustealia.

Entire front row replaced plus Reffel on for Wainwright and replacement at scrum half.

Tom Rodger’s seems to have cramp and is replaced

Big call here. Botham has just scored on the corner but one of the passes looked a bit too oateral
