[QUOTE="galumay, post: 869808, member: 74590"] They were good, no question, but the insane defensive 'structure' that the Wallabies had apparently been coached to play was a factor. I am still processing some of what I saw, 45 minutes to put 54 points on the board and then not a single score after that - thats a weird statistic. Wobblies manage just 6 in the first half and then add 28 unanswered points in the second - thats enough to win most games! I think its telling that the Wobblies scored more points in a half of that game than in the whole Bledisloe last year, their attack looked pretty good right from the start and once the possession evened out they started scoring points. I will be interested to see if there is any analysis of the disaster that was the defensive plan, and any talk about who was responsible (Grey?) Cheika talked post game about the first up tackles needing to be better, seems to me to ignoring what actually created the problem. [/QUOTE]
