Too early.

Surprised how incohesive the Wobs looked the first test. Improved this test, but still not clinical. Far from it.

The Optimist

How good is Korobiete? He's been our best back for a at least a couple of years now. We are going to miss him badly when he leaves. His work rate is just incredible whether it's in attack or defence. Probably hits more rucks than some forwards. This. Wallabies are very unlucky. Don't have many worl...

Well played France. Much the better side. Again structured composed rugby.

What you get at scrum time when you play undersized hookers.

I am calling on Rennie to 'RELEASE THE IKITAU!!!'

The Optimist

On another point, kudos to Gareth Southgate and the English team on being worthy finalists. A pity they lost, but I think it speaks to the character of the man, that Southgate has handled it like a gentleman.

Southgate has called out Anonny for mocking the gods with his incessant boasts and ranting about this England team and Brexit. ' The cvnt knows sweet fvck all about football, rugby or F1, FFS not a single sport. Myself and the team are simply exasperated... I mean why can't the fooken cvnt keep his ...

The Optimist

So what's the story? Rennie saying 'I'm giving you (the 1st XV another chance to get it right), show faith and continuity' or 'Get it right, or you will be playing for the Force next season' Looking for more accuracy and cohesion, a step at a time, I guess. Last week was a stumble. Maybe Toomua can ...

So much winning...

The Optimist

Valentini had a good game, sure it wasn't up to his barn busting recent form... he looked quite flat footed to be honest. He still hasn't adjusted to the Wallaby's rhythms and patterns. Wasn't the worst player in the Wallabies by far.

The Optimist

Sad little wanker.

He should fight both the Logan wankers at the same time. Triple wanker threat.

The Optimist

Me getting my shot.

The Optimist

Game over 42-13.

Samoa came out in the second half and bossed the game.

42-13 Samoa 79min

40 - 13 Samoa 78 min kick to come

The Optimist

I like Stowers, his ball carrying outstanding.

35-13 Samoa 76 min

Tongan player Yellow card rest of game

You don't consider the lineout to be a set piece?

I do. Tongans haven't lost a lineout when they have thrown it in straight.

The Optimist

Tongan set piece superior.

Samoan unstructured play bossing the game.

Too many missed tackles by the Tongans... getting stepped

Well this game has opened up...

The Optimist

Feel the Tongan scrum advantage may be a telling factor in this game.

The Optimist

Our biggest factor the Wallabies have lacked is aggression, it was refreshing to see Swinton have a go at the All Blacks. Sure he was red carded, but we have to give him more opportunities to see if he can control his aggression. Valentine is the in form back rower and should be in the 1st XV, as bo...

The Optimist

Going to be some tired big boppers in the 2nd half.

I would like to see Samoa make some cut out passes or look for off-loads, Tongans are eating up this one out stuff.

The Optimist

First side that starts putting kicks in behind or over the top will have a big advantage. Both defensive lines moving up well.

The Optimist

Fractured play by both sides. Too may errors.

The Optimist

Some BIG units...

in the choir

The Optimist

'C'mon Samoa!'

The Optimist

Arm is sore, headache, little lethargic and running fevers periodically. I hope the second shot isn't as bad.

The Optimist

Kellaway is a great tackler.

Solid in attack, but not world class, having said that, he played in poor teams so difficult to tell.

Then again so did Marika and he is definitely world class.

The Optimist

Happy for England, but that was not a penalty. Swings and round abouts. Does it make up for the own goal that was Brexit... Yeh nah... fuvken idiots.

Got my first dose of Pfizer, well happy, 3 more weeks (2nd dose) then I am going to walk around pretending I have a flu.

Anyone who has ever drank Российское шампанское, knows 'Кошачья моча' (Cat's Piss) must have been taken.

France letting this slide, really confirms they are spineless. Look up Nordstream 2, Russian sanctions, Macron is quite spineless.

The Optimist

Having found a clip of the final French line-out, they were really hard done by. It’s not definitive, but it definitely seems to be a knock on from Swain, so end of the game. https://youtu.be/D99KLaI_0QY Was a definite knockon by Swain, remember thinking that in real time. France should have won th...
