10mins into the game. 19-7 to Australia. There's something wrong here.

14 mins 21-14.

Fuck me, guys, learn how to defend first phase rugby. Only decent stuff so far is the Aussie fullback's run. The rest has been from basic stuff.

More points than minutes. Shameful. By both teams.

At last, a team try. Good build up by the jaapies. Still more points than minutes.

I know I'm watching this game late, but will this game produce more points than Pakistan did with runs in their first innings?

57 mins. Best defence I've seen. Well done jaapies. Kept the aussies out with a few great tackles, forcing the knock on in the end. Still more points than mins, but don't reckon we'll break the 80......or will we?

Not a pretty match.

Genia and Beale have been impressive for us.

Agree, they looked good, so did the jaapie no.7, Juan Smit. Spies had a better game than normal.

Second half was tighter, more in you face, good game of rugby. First half was shameful, you shouldn't be able to score 4 tries and have 3 scored against you in one half of rugby unless both teams are not defending. Second half was better (from a neutral, slightly anti-southern hemisphere point of view).

That was an odd match, and a poor loss by the Wallabies .

Thankfulyy, there was no commentary on the Aussie Network.
