    Argentina 15-0 up against France.

    So confusing to try and work out what these internationals have told us about England/Scotland/Wales/France.

    Fantastic take from Brown there.

    Could really do with another try here, but need the ball for that.

    England aren't playing as well as they can, Scotland are, Wales will beat a tri-nations team when I get beatified and France can beat anyone in the rare event that they pick the right team.

    Had one period where we looked really good, but I can't see Australia not blowing us away.

    Bloody hell.

    If there's one thing that sums up our autumn internationals it's that.

    Ford looked pretty good. Forwards did the job but ultimately weren't ever tested at the breakdown, and the platform we had just highlights how much ball was wasted. No progress towards sorting out the centre pairing or kicking game, though Twelvetrees looked pretty sprightly when he came on.

    If can sort out one of our kicking game and our centre pairing we'll been in a fairly decent position I think.

    I think you mean Carter. Not a Cruden fan at all. And Barrett is the luckiest bloke on the planet with that bounce. He was awful for the first 69 minutes of that game. I did enjoy the last 11 minutes though!

    Wales were weak at scrum time. And when with twenty minutes to go we just decided we would win every breakdown they had no answer. I found that passage of play where we just went up a gear in intensity quite scary. It was so pronounced that it must be something that they have trained for in close matches.

    If I had a dollar for how many last-ten-minute-tries Read has scored I would be a rich man. He is the king of icing on the cake or back breaker tries.

    Good game. Roberts nearly won it for them alone.

    I was fascinated with the Welsh kicking game. At first I was like why kick to us at all...but then as they got more and more accurate it paid some dividends. Still think they did too much kicking and not enough running. We hardly saw North or Cuthbert with ball in hand.

    Conrad Smith was important in that game. Had we played Crotty instead we would have picked up an L for the game.

    - I did tell you Fiery that SBW was rusty but you didn't listen. His option taking wasn't sharp enough. Also it didn't help his cause they targeted him and put some rib cracking tackles on him to make him think twice.

    Welcome to test matches SBW.

    Well it didn't help SBW that the bloke inside him was hopeless. Got no decent ball to work with.

    Apart from the blowout against Australia I feel as if the All Blacks have only played well in the the equivalent of a single 80 minute match this entire season.

    He was awful the first 40 minutes, he came right in the 2nd. More so in the last 10 or so minutes but definitely a better 2nd half.

    SBW wins the honors for COTM imo. No ABs really stood out for mind.

    Well England were dire. Farrell and Barrett is a horrid centre combination that should be confined to the deepest depths of hell. About all Barrett was good for today was putting in dodgy dummy runs, get him out of the side asap please.

    You're saying that as if Ireland winning was at all surprising...

    Not surprised. Thought it would be close and it was. Still amusing. I get immense satisfaction and joy when Australia lose at anything tbh.
