Great kick by Larmour. Unlucky bounce.

Faugheen

Paul Williams has officiated this game really well so far

Squidgy Black

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

Great chase! Who is on for Conway?

Larmour.

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

Buer

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

Two cheap penalties and were under pressure.

Bummer. Penalty try. Healy off - pheck!

umop episdn

Absolutely daft

Dave_The_Sheep

Harsh.

Buer

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?

We had a pen advantage on that move

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.

Squidgy Black

Australia are brutal discipline wise.

Larbre34

Ah yellow every day ref FFS

Buer

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

fitz

Clear yellow there

No wrap in that off the ball on Ryan.

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?

Australia got the rub of the black there...

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