The Aussies have suffered some really serious injuries this series. Not nice to see.

50/50 there. Stuart’s not in control his side. We’re lucky Slipper came on to oppose Mako.

Yeah, couldn’t tell who it was crashing in to Neville’s knee then but it looks nasty. Not sure what was going on there.

Stuart has been the one success of this tour, so far.

20% tackles missed. Why pick 3 lineout jumpers and then lose a lot of throws? Annoying

Vunipola, but Hooper was taking him out well away from the ruck, so no control. Just bad luck.

Miscommunication with his Leicester team mate, I think. I’ll take one error in 63 mins on debut.
