    Jaysus that was poor. Actually didn't realise Sexton was only 76% for his career so far.

    Don't know why we're kicking to DHP he's as good as Folau in the air.

    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.

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

    Absolutely fine, but whataboutery is weak.

    Both teams were warned after Australia pulled our maul down, and Healy suffered for it, correctly.

    Nice high one on Ringrose there.

    Actually, maybe not.

    Oz miles offside though.

    Think that'd be harsh, Ringrose was dipping and Beale's arm slipped up.

    Sexton is throwing so many hospital passes, there was 2 in that phase alone.

    That stat I think is for 2018.

    Genia looks like they've put a makeshift cast on his arm. Doubt he'll be back for the final test.

    Nice purple finger nails on Ginea, he's going to need to repaint them to go with the grey wrap though.

    I wonder was the high tackle call for the tackle on furlong a couple of phases earlier?

    My argument is that it shouldn't be a warning. Pulling down a maul trundling towards the line shouldn't need a warning. "Don't do that cynical thing you are deliberately doing and you know will prevent a try." How is that a warning?

    Was offside. Went to the spot of the offside line at the scrum.
