Again our depth isn't up to it and or it's not clicking together with too many changes. Either way it's been 4 steps forward 3 back since South Africa. What changed since the Lions series ? They had discipline cohesion and spritely attack. Now they look ok but fall where we normally don't, lacking that needed 1-2%
I'm getting tired of the rollercoaster. We have a big buildup, lots of hype, high expectations then another poor performance. I love Schmidt, he's a class act but I don't think I can watch the other games. Too sad.
We don't know how to win and don't know what to do with it on attack. It looks like we just want to counter attack rather than build phases with a plan.
A modest England did Australia. Thats was a very poor performance on so many levels and that was a very beatable England team. That hot mess was a poor game plan, poorly delivered. Smits detail is ineffective and the sign of a cluttered mind, one that lacks clarity but is consistent with his poor record at RWC. If Australia don't make it into the top six by Dec 3rd, the chances of the Wallabies getting past the quarters at their home WC are very slim. We are potentially watching a major strategic failure happening in real time and this will have massive long term consequences for the game in Australia. We have great players but poor strategy and tactics.
Potter played out of his skin, held up one over the line and intercepted a certain try to score at the other end. In contrast Suaali massively under performed, he didn't properly contest a high ball (his speciality), that led to the first try by Earl. Mitchell clearly knocked on for his try when it was still 15-7 – how that wasn't picked up by the TMO I will never know.

Defence has been passive all year and the backs were listless. How long are you going to back Edmed?
Too much excuses
Paisami is so painful to watch.
Someone please ask him what his plan for attack is. No shape

Wallabies need to train with the Kangaroos and learn how to win .
Gulf in class, too many Aussies playing the other code without any competition, easy for England

Don’t worry Joe the All Blacks weren’t flash either .
Neither side were particularly good. However, the Wallabies were genuinely poor and lacked both cohesion and flair.
Going backwards guys. Changes needed
I love Joe, his level of detail is impressive

As an England fan, the ref wasn't very good.
