Fantastic to see Ben McCalman, Matt Hodgson and Tetera Faulkner in the Green and Gold for the Wallabies Test against Wales at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

Hoping that Tets gets his first Test cap and Hodgo gets his 10th.

Bobbing around the North Sea off Germany
Managed to get it on the satellite... thank you BBC!
Great game, Fucken battled right through to the 80!
Offside, laying on the ground, makes a tackle.... Play on.
I'm surprised this website is still operating after Hooper and Folau combined for a try.
Hodgo a critical pilfer AGAIN! And Tet gets his cap. AND a win. That will do me
'God invented beer to prevent Props from taking over the world'
And it was a good try!
Hooper still plays too wide for my money, but he did manage to have some impact on the breakdown, more importantly, Will Skelton really looked to be working hard when he first came on, ran out of steam after a while, but it's going to take a while for him to build up the fitness to be any better than that. McMahon looked a little out of his depth at times, but didn't completely shirk the hard work and that gave Hooper the opportunity to play the rangy game he loves.
I still reckon Hdgo should have started, and that was proven when he came on.....but McMahon was the one who needed to start on the bench, not Hooper.

Congrats to Tetera Faulkner for his 1st Wallaby cap, to Matt Hodgson for his 10th Test (and speedy turnover) and to Ben McCalman for his normal solid performance in his 35th Test.

Hodgo was just hodgo the man who saves the day as the welsh were moving forward before that pilfer....
Benny Mac 80 solid mins of rugby in everything..
Hooper yes sets up the try but now I see why only 2 backs on bench as hooper was a little wide ( Even the fox comms admitted that )
Skelton yes is only a 20 min man
Faringa played well
Props got some right but not sure where its going wrong poss in the second row not supporting the props and forming a square scrum
overall a few changes need to be made and one is Hooper needs to be dropped as Captain .. He is not a communicator as it showed when the Wallabies were camped on their try line with scum after scrum.. No team talk or huddles when it was needed.. Maybe there is still some division in the team and he does not have the full respect of the forward team like Hodgo had last week against the Baa Baas..
Hodgo had many huddles and always chatting to players..
I think Cheika is looking forward to 2015 as well as trying to secure the present. He is showing some promise but I think after hearing the result of other games things will be tougher SA beaten by the Irish and NZ given a hard game by the Poms
From a captaincy point there was a stage where the ref had given his final warning to Wales for breakdown infringements yet when the next one came, albeit sometime later, Hooper should have been asking Craig why there was no card. Little things can lead to big things.
80 Minutes, 15 Positions, No Protection, Wanna Ruck?
Ruck Me, Maul Me, Make Me Scrum!
Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Who had the brain fart to kick away possession with 20-30 seconds left on the clock?
