Big blow for Wales having Biggar come off
Huge hits from Australia
Australia have had some super breaks, but they seems a bit clueless what to do after.
What a pathetic lineout 
The runner rarely has support. They have good players but they don't play as a team.
That's part of it. But they seem a bit headless in general on how to capitalise on a line break.
Nawaqantiwasi (or whatever it is) is really good. Aus have some good backline players if they could up the speed and resist the boot
Australia make some amateurish mistakes
What has happened to Australian Rugby? It's been on a massive decline for years. Is Rugby as popular in Australia as it once was in regards to Rugby Union?
england started pumping them on the reg, so they decided not to play it that much any more. cricket is going the same way for them now.
Too busy fighting kangaroos.
I just saw that there are reports about Eddie Jones having an interview for Japan's job and he allegedly got it. And australians are quite obviously not happy.
I feel sorry for Japan
They should be chuffed as feck, it was an awful move bringing him back and seeing the back of him as soon as possible is their only option
It was my initial reaction but I think that they are more focused on the lack of principle shown by Jones.
Do Australia prefer league over union?
This Aussie team will not be missed at the world cup. Hopeless.
What kind of question is that?
League and Australian Football are religions in Australia, Union is more of a distraction.
My mate just sent me this
Sonny Bill wouldn't stay on the pitch very long these days

Feel sorry for @Xaviesta ….it’s one thing being kicked to defeat by South Africa or England….but it’s not pretty watching wales do it
My mate just sent me this

I know that vid well
Got to bear in mind that shoulder charges were legal at the time of a lot of those (in league)My mate just sent me this
Sonny Bill wouldn't stay on the pitch very long these days
Enjoy…..
Inspired from Anscombe
I know that vid well
I could tell a fair few were in league. Wild that a shoulder to the face was all good.
That should be game over now.
Do Japan really want Eddie back
Can’t remember seeing Australia this bad before.
Yeah m, Anscombe has been excellent since missing that first kick
Blimey, talk about timing.
Australia so flat. This is done.
I don't know what it means but an aussie said that about this game:
Well I dont know! I don’t really keep abreast of Australian culture.What kind of question is that?
League and Australian Football are religions in Australia, Union is more of a distraction.
I presumed they were semi interested in it at one point having won it twice and runners up twice! But now they seem to be a bit shit.
It’s so strange seeing the decline of Australian rugby. I know that Union is a niche sport down there, even below football in the pecking order by now, but I’m just used to the Aussies being huge ballers at big events regardless of sport.
I lived in Australia. Union was a big deal there. They’re crazy obsessed about sport so obviously are more than semi interested in one they’re very good at. The club game doesn’t compare with other Aussie sports but they fecking love their Wallabies.
Or they did anyway. That was a while ago. I guess that might have changed since they got less good?
Let’s no forget the loss of Skelton and Tupou was huge for them. It’s definitely affected the scrum
Australians lost their heads, they are done.
Apparently it's been in decline for years and participation is going down all the time. It's falling further and further behind the other sports.
Bit of a vicious cycle as it's very hard to get people involved when your national team is shite because you're not getting enough players through.
What the feck was that kick
