    Unsurprisingly Wales messed that up.

    That's a great tackle by Frisby.

    I haven't watched much Northampton recently, but is it me or has George North lost it a bit? He used to be such an exciting player, doesn't seem to have much influence on the Wales games these days.

    One of the touch judges looks like Sam Burgess

    Since that long lay off last year he doesn't seem to be that involved. That may just be coincidence but it does seem like he's lost something.

    A while back he said he wasn't enjoying playing for Northampton because they don't set up in a way that allows their backs to okay attacking rugby. While that's true I also think he isn't in too form either nor has he been in quite a while.

    Hallam Amos has looked good since he came on.

    Think he's had quite a few niggle injuries too, hamstring a few months back, couple of hand injuries, could all be holding him back just that little bit

    Kearney-esque perhaps?

    Dan Biggar isn't very good is he? Always wonder what people are going on about when they say he's rivalling Sexton for the Lions jersey.

    One team at the end of their season and the other at the start.

    Seeing a lot of "glad to see the time away from the regions worked so well" kind of tweets from Welsh fans. Always mad about something.

    A truly atrocious Welsh performance which flattered the Aussies - a team of three-time losers humiliated by the All Blacks this season.

    ****

    I think he is a good player. Kicks his points and is strong in contact defensively. He's a fairly fearless chap too and gets stuck in at the breakdown.

    He isn't as good as Sexton in that he isn't any more of an attacking threat ball in hand but he isn't in the same conversation at all in terms of his game management.

    Still a good player and with a good pack in front of him he is excellent.

    Rugby fans seem to be obsessed with Welsh players.

    Wales really have a lot of dross in their side. Cuthbert, Jenkins, Roberts, Lydiate are all past their best but still playing because there's nothing better coming through. Halfpenny still has his uses in defence and kicking. Not offering much in attack though.

    Love watching Foley for Australia. If they had a consistently good 9 they'd be a lot better.

    North looked pretty poor too today, Wales being shiite overall of course. Look forward to seeing this team getting tonked by NZ on tour next summer.

    Amos looked alright today. Keelan Giles, Eli Walker and Ashton Hewitt have all looked good of late. Maybe Wales are a bit like Ireland, reluctant to drop experience for potential.

    Moriarty was really the only bright spark for Wales, easy to tell he knew he was playing for a spot. Tipuric, Amos, and Cuthbert were decent, but mostly ****. That's about it for Wales.

    The Aussies didn't look great either. The Welsh defence made them look very, very good, when in reality they were sloppy and butchered at least half a dozen try scoring chances. A lot more confident about facing them now.
