Re: Dead Bled, Live RC: WALLABIES v ALL BLACKS, Perth, 2025

For us key in our 9/10 combo is working, dont flog it if its isnt.

Have to cut out the headstart we give opposition.

Otherwise the bench has a kick to bring it home.

Best Wallaby effort in NZ for over a decade. Oz still too much latitudegiven on the discipline and mistakes, I thought JOC needed to be pulled in the 65min.
Basically I thought we lost the game rather than being well beaten.
