Why are we still trying to run through them?

Kick to touch and put pressure on their line out - we have turned over a few all ready.

Porter pillar defence there really poor. JVDF caught in a ruck and he was way too wide. Opened the corridor for them to go over.

Game over I reckon.

Will take some effort to turn this around.

There’s no way you can see us scoring 10 points here

That missed early pen is looking costly now

Conversion should be scratched as he took way longer than the permitted time.

I'll take a cheap kickable penalty shortly after kick-off here, thanks...

We’re done here I reckon. Nowhere near good enough second half.

Baird's clear out work is just not good enough at a high level. Happens so much to him.

How was that a penalty? Their 14 got in a legitimate poaching position, but was immediately cleared out...

Game over, not good enough at all. Besides first 20 we've looked clueless. McGrath not able to play a game of this magnitude, Ross has reverted to his 'stand and deliver' and their defence is suffocating us. Baird looking troubled by the physicality too.

Very dissapointing.

Yep. Rochelle deserve this. We didn't turn up at all.

Better team is winning. Entire second half has been in our 22
