    Great kick by Larmour. Unlucky bounce.

    Paul Williams has officiated this game really well so far

    Really good vision from Larmour there for the kick. They left a lot of space in the back field last week.

    Breakdown work is much better so far. Pocock & Hooper aren't having any joy :)

    Ah. Two completely unnecessary penalties giving them a way back into the game.

    If Furlong was off his feet then half of Oz were too in their defensive ruck after Larmour kick

    Correct call. Healy pulled that down. But that maul definitely stopped on the 5m line for a solid period.

    Did Australia not do same after our lineout earlier before Murray passed for the try?

    Given how long the maul was standing still it was. The actual pull down, sure.

    Not a massive deal though.

    But they dropped a moving maul within 5 metres.

    Yes, and we were given a penalty for that, after which Williams gave a warning to both captains about pulling the maul down.

    Let's not start with the ref conspiracy theories lads.

    Ref needs to speak to Australia at this point for consistent rubbish.

    Murray being put in his place for the second week in a row. Needs to tread carefully.

    I mean, I'll discuss the game if it's alright with yourself?

    Sexton seems to have one of those kicks every game for the last few months now.
