Hunter Paisami learns fate after late yellow card against Springboks

Indeed, was having one of his best seasons for the Wallabies .. bit of midfield disruption going into Bledisloe with Ikitau under an injury cloud.

All teams are in the same boat .. if the Boks have 22-25, how many top shelf players do you estimate for France, AB’s, Eng and Ireland assuming those 5 teams are the top contenders?

Every team contains key players that will see a seismic drop-off if they get injured, the replacements don’t have to be at the same level as the legend they replace .. just on par with the opposition.

Paisami is careless .

I can’t see any difference in what he did and what Wilson often does .

Toby McPherson has certainly been in good form at the Brumbies .

A young version of Angus Scott Young who is strangely continually ignored .

Good analysis Nick, spot on.

The outcomes at the breakdown also raised questions about the value of twin open-sides Marco van Staden and Paul de Villiers in the South African back-row. De Villiers won three turnovers on the deck but the Wallabies still won the penalty count at ruck time by eight to four. The experiment failed, and while Erasmus may be able to afford one of Van Staden or De Villiers at the World Cup, he likely cannot afford both.

Yes the Aussies put on 18 points in the second half to Bok zero before the first yellow, and 15 of those points while the Bok A team were on. The scruff of the neck happened after Wilson was off and a back was playing in the scrum - unfortunately LSL was subbed just before Wilson was sent off so they lost their biggest lump at the same time and their opportunity to sub a back for Shaw so they could keep the full 8.

Yep, it's not at all surprising. If someone before the match said a player will be suspended due to a reckless high tackle and I had $100 to bet, I'd put $60 on Paisami, $30 on JAS and $10 on the rest of the team. He just always looks so likely to do it unfortunately.

A shame but he needs to learn to tackle properly and within the new laws. The head contact is a real issue and players and coaches need to be better

Yeah it’s a fairly similar predicament to the French isn’t. Not compromising simply for the immediate future/World Cup.

Australia would have benefited more from having JAS at center, that’s not to say Hunter was poor, he did a good job, but they missed a lot with JAS not getting hands on the ball. Imagine if they had two firing midfielders and another wing. When does Marky Mark become available?

Great strategy from the new coaching team to utilize a lot of their strengths though, even improved from the Lions series.

On Paper Rassie would have expected his 23 to do far better than they did. Just shows how important cohesion is in a team. Hats off to Kiss and the Wallabies for attaching the Springboks in all the right places.

‘No-one could remember such a crazy game. Or explain that last 10 minutes. No matter.'

Until we get a few more first rank options in key roles it’s going to be uncertain. But the fact we are close to that now is giving us the ability to win consistently. The run down for this year will tell us much about depth.

The player group under Rennie is the core of this group. It’s taken a while to get the depth but they’ve been showing the potential for that long. Joe worked on the skills and you can see it baked in. All three have fostered new players for depth. Now it’s showing. It’s a credit to all three and seems that Kiss is the ideal mentor for this maturing group.

Agree and as per NBs latest article - cohesion really important - with all the moving chairs on the AB deck - that was lost from NC and through the GR. And the risk is that the Aussies are primed for Eden Park while we are still trying to work out out best 1-8.

They were unplayable last autumn. Absolute peak and a higher standard than their last 2 RWCs. Perfect blend of age and youth breaking through

The next block of NC games will tell it or not but there is a nagging feeling they are a little off it and 5-10% is dangerous at the top level

I also seem to think Dolly is a bit small but he is pretty busy around the rucks and with ball in hand always seems to make metres.

Bell was a beast on Saturday, everytime he touched the ball he made metres and on defence and in the scrum he was rock solid. You could see when he left the field that he was absolutely spent.

Nasser has impressed me this year so far, For some reason I have never really been a fan of him in super rugby but he seems to be pretty solid when he puts a Wallaby jersey on.

Just on recent form JW.

Like the idea of moving Jordie back to deal with the aerial game. But were you referring to Jordan? Agree he has the natural skills to compete. If Love was fit would have him back there too. When Clarke fit thats a handy aerial squad.
