It was so much easier to blame Them. It was bleakly depressing to think They were Us. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Think they'll be okay. Australia started with real intensity and discipline was an issue, but fixable.
Still think they lack threat out wide (plus miss tackles).

I am, again, watching without sound, but it feels like a few BiL forwards have been awol? Barely noticed Conan, Porter or Chessum? Is that fair?

Aus scrum is folding. BiL hould take a leaf from Rassie's book and start to force scrums/mauls from weird positions

Missing a lot of tackles by the ruck. Guards poor. Conan there
