[2014 Mid-Year Test] Australia vs. France 07/06/14

[RoosTah]

I couldn't see the ABs game (I was sleeping) I will see the game in 5 hours, but 4 tries against a Tier 1 team in 40 minutes isn't easy. C'mon bud!

Hahaha mate it's now 5 tires! But in all honesty, I wanna be upbeat about it, but France are just one of those teams that make it very hard to read into. They can beat anyone when they're on, but this isn't one of those nights. It's great to beat them like this, but we all know they're missing a couple big hitters and at the end of the day the All Blacks have still held the Bledisloe Cup for 12 years now, so I try not to get too optimistic about beating them.

That was a lovely try, great angles run by all

 

[Big Ewis]

Cummins looks like some character out of God of War

 

[Jaguares]

Amazing move! Amazing try, buddies. Is not a dangerous back line??? C'mon!!!

 

[Bada-Bing!]

After all that Wallabies pack get penalised for hit and chase????!!! Why no penalty for Michalak being offside and Joubert even saying it when he spoke to the TMO.

Justice in the end for the a Wallabies. Great try.

French Fans - can any other coach in France make a difference to this French team? Surely PSA must go after this series. Poor 6Ns for two years straight; poor Autumn series, probably 3 zip to the Wallabies this summer. Bring back Lievremont (sp).

And what about Toomua in defense? What about Kuridrani? Izzy Dag this year is a crappy IMO.

What about Toomua and Kuridrani? They aren't exactly game-breakers. Don't get me wrong Australia has played well - how well exactly we won't know until they play against a side that actually plays some defense. Dagg has been crappy for years......

Anyways.... another Aussie try. Great interchange between Ashley-Cooper, Folau, and Cummins.....

Lagisquet's hands were all over that back move by France there.......you will play by the text book and there will be no flair even if the play is so telescoped that the Aussies can walk to the tackle!!!

a Biarritz fan talking !! true that...

For a start they would not pick Michalak who has played hardly any games this season for his club and select FTD at least in the squad!

 

[wertas]

PSA should go, for sure... Even taking into account insanity of Lievremont, he delivered. They lost 50+ to some team, but managed to beat top teams as well. While under PSA it is absolutely pathetic...

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Yep, that is a joke. Picking Michalak at 10 just gives the opposition a lift.

 

[RoosTah]

WOW! Kurindrani CAN pass! hahaha nice one.

 

[Big Ewis]

weeeehooo !!

 

[Darwin]

...and another Aussie try. This is a slaughter. Australia could crack 50

I'm going to put money on France winning next week, as that's just the way the roll.....

Someone give me some insight on Trinh-Duc. I don't follow Top 14 but I always see him play well France. Tales doesn't impress me. Is there no one else?

 

[wertas]

Parra could play at 10 too. I think better than Michalak.

 

[Darwin]

Ok this is just too easy now....

 

[William18]

Pat McCabe stepping around players. There's going to be two more tests as well.

 

[RoosTah]

And that'll bring up 50! Folau carved right through like butter. France have given up... in fact they looked like they gave up after AAC's try really.

 

[Big Ewis]

2010 EOYT. All over again. But this time, our disarray has a different origin.

 

[Tony Manx]

Totally and completely embarrassing for the French nation.........

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Tour of hell 2? This time for the French.

Weirdly he's been named in France's 30player pre-RWC squad thing (where the players get special rest at their clubs, or something like that) yet didn't go on this tour!



Morgan Parraaarrrr, as the Aussie commentators like to say

 

[Big Ewis]

yeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh !!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tony Manx]

Weirdly he's been named in France's 30player pre-RWC squad thing (where the players get special rest at their clubs, or something like that) yet didn't go on this tour!

I would bet that he is not unhappy to miss this one whilst earning a fortune for playing for the BaaBaas last week and RoW today in SA!!!

 

[Big Ewis]

:lol: boy, do I have things to say after the final whistle.

 

[Jaguares]

I never said: "Wallabies going to win the Bledisloe Cup". But I think they can beat ABs in Sydney or Brisbane this year. That could be a good thing for this team.

 

[Big Ewis]

the suspense is unbearable !!!...

 

[Tony Manx]

the suspense is unbearable !!!...

Then take them off..............!!

Buddy, is a dangeorous backline. C'mon!
