The Wallabies are in the fight. That’s the good news. Down 17-14 at half-time, that’s nothing.
But the Wallabies need to shore up their defensive line. The All Blacks have made five line breaks to two. That said, both playmakers – McKenzie (NZ) and Donaldson (AUS) – have made line breaks.
The Wallabies are causing the All Blacks’ lineout some issues, having stolen two throws. Jeremy Williams having a strong outing for the Wallabies. Fraser McReight is doing his best to slow down the ruck speed. Suaalii has been ever-present.
The big concern is the bench. The Wallabies are lacking experience – tight-head prop Massimo De Lutiis, lock Lachie Shaw and playmaker Declan Meredith are international rookies.
The Wallabies are staying in the fight, though. This Wallabies side has character. We’ve seen that over the past couple of years.
