I thought about making a thread yesterday morning, but it then slipped my mind, so thank you. Sounds like first game has gone as predicted, lets see if Los Pumas do any better than predicted too!

I think if the Wallabies had set some better pictures they wouldn't have been penalised out of the first half so much. While I do think Pearce has been a bit pedantic and not paid attention to some of the SA infringements as much really it comes down to referee management and the Aussies just did too much dumb stuff early on to ever get on the right page with the ref.

Combine that with a malfunctioning scrum & a wobbly line out they've just really struggled to get much going. At times so far in the 2nd half they've looked very good on attack, but as soon as SA manage to slow a couple of rucks down they've been at risk of a turnover - that is if they haven't dropped it themselves by then.
