Ireland v Waltzing Matilda, test 1 build up thread.

Textbook both in fielding and kicking.

1 good one... followed by 1 bad one from Rob

Henshaw needs to stop doing that.

That’s twice he’s run up and totally fluffed it

Clegg

That shouldn't have been a try.

Nightmare from Henshaw in defence.

Good try unfortunately. Henshaw's read was right, execution wrong again

Kearney's mistake contributed.

That's probably the least Oz deserve. Kearney and Henshaw poor. Robbie looks lost at 13

Completely needless from Henshaw

crisco10

Thought pocock rolled that toward himself on the ground.

I get the feeling that Australia can't keep up this intensity for much longer.
It reminds me of Northampton v Leinster.

Boscoirl

Henshaw is putting us under serious pressure

Squidgy Black

Should Henshaw swap with Aki? He's getting made a show of in the 13 channel.

Poor from Henshaw and Henderson should not have let Foley step back inside.

Another missed tackle by Henshaw, either get man or ball, or both. He just let Foley go, had he taken him to ground there wouldn't be a blind side option.

Pockock held on there at the start of that. Henshaw timing a bit off and we get punished.

Stout Warrior

Larmour at error defensively for that try but it all started with Kearney letting that up and under bounce.

He did. Right in front of touch judge too.

Ah Jacob.

Bad 3 mins for us. Settle please.

Really hope you are right. But I dont see them falling away that much. They are not monstering us, but they are just so dangerous and you feel they can score from anywhere. They only need a sniff or two.

Awful again from Henshaw. I'm starting to form an opinion that he's an outstanding provincial player but lacks a bit of nous at this level.

DellyBelly

Initial mistake by Kearney in the lead up to that try. Henshaw was poor as well. Still well in it though

awec

Panicked

ugh

Nah he is absolute quality. Just not have a great game today.

He forced the mistake?!

thomond2006

HT. Come quickly.

kuang1

We're better than this. Not playing to our normal standards.
Aki, Stander, both Ryans doing well.

Kearney and Stockdale mixing good with bad.

Christ on a bike!

Maybe the idea what Henshaw is a better 13 than a 12 is being shown up here? He's been all over the place in defense.

awec

Goodness me.
