    O'Mahony very lucky there, contesting with his outside hand.

    If I'm correct we are are also 5 points off getting our highest total ever against the Aussies (currently 27, I thought we had scored 29 on them donkeys years back but cannot find that anywhere).

    Lads at least 75% of posts in here mention the ref.

    Can ye not talk about the good play rather than being reactive to subjective decisions

    It's mostly tension reactions I reckon.
    Cracking game.

    We're inches away from opening them up every time but it never quite seems to come off. Frustrating.

    Toner has been great at the clear outs. Showing what we missed last week.

    Jordi has had a very good showing off the bench.

    Beirne coming in as a backrow is interesting.

    To be fair, their defense has been really tough.

    Pocock will be delighted to see the back of POM, pesting him at rucks and landing on him from lineouts.

    Now has Beirne pesting him at rucks.

    Its a cracking game alright and the ref wont be the difference in who wins. But its absolutely fair to call out some awful decisions and inexplicable non-decisions he has made.

    That makes Johnny captain now, I guess? Hopefully he's more vocal in the ref's ear than POM, still scope to point out the consistent infringing.
