Australian team to play France

Since there isn't an official thread...:
Australia 3 - 3 France
Who is the Vincent Clerc lookalike playing 11? :blink:
 
I watched the test today...
Australia 34 France 13
Australian backs did very well everyone but not Tuqiri...
Berrick Barnes was great and Giteau too.
The young french Alexis Palisson, who scored the consolation try, really impressed me.
Australia is improving but for the Tri Nations will have to play better than like this.

Marius Jonker (South Africa) the ref did very well too.
 
i reckon jonker wasn't perfect, he wasn't consistent with penalties. ie. he called an accidental offside that wasn't offside at all, and he failed to see infringements, but then called infringements that weren't there.

anyway, enough of that. tiqiuri looked to be injured early on, hence his replacement.
 
I thought Jonker was horrible... he was extremely strict with his interpretations of the breakdown, and there were a number of mind boggling decisions.

I swear he even called a couple of penalties before the player with the ball had even reached the ground.

He was very quick with the whistle. Has he been spending any time up north?
 
i love south african refs when a team wearing blue is playing, like france

"hands off bloooooooo"

"advantage blooooooo"

"number 5 bloooooo"

etc.
