Has Ross Ford finally come of age?

Going by what people have said Jones is an accomplished winger. Would not mind him there if Bennett is on form.

Makes over looking Hoyland even more daft.

Watson certainly doesn't look out of place on the international scene.

I don't think it's necessary in normal circumstances but availability & some inexplicable ignoring of Hoyland has meant we have put out a back three that do not tackle.

Good lord John Barclay. What a half.

Adds aggression and physicality that we've been sorely lacking. Thoroughly enjoyed him putting Foley on his arse. I enjoyed watching whoever it was that nailed Hooper when he was trying to sneak in the side of a ruck too. Barclay maybe.

Nel would have scored there

I'd be delighted with the pair of them packing down on the flanks with CDP at 8. I'm not sure I'll ever forgive VC for ignoring him all that time.

Yup. And Hardie pretty much plays like a 6 anyway, big carries, big tackles, he's just shaped like an openside.

Why did Hardie touch that? No need. Genia would have had to collect and get ushered into touch anyway.

Doesn't matter too much as we have possession again but wrong call.

Great drive from the gray brothers. Try looks good.

WTF is Russell playing at. He was in his 22, find touch. No need to do that. Australia will quite gladly run a kick like that all the way back.

I like Brown but is Ford off the right call now?

They need to keep attacking Aus. Sit back and defend and we'll lose.

I didn't actually catch what happened to Wilson. Anyone able to clarify?

Hardie looks like he's going off. I guess Jonny goes to 6.

That's why you play fraser brown. We effectively had 4 7's on the pitch for a few minutes if you think about it.

Barclay on yet another loose ball, but seriously how do we go from a potential try to hanging on for dear life on our line so often?

We really need to get some points on the board. We can't do this for another 13 minutes.
