@OBBY001 My biggest problem with Mark's approach is he wants perfect conditions everywhere he goes now. That's not realistic. Sometimes you have to build something up from a hard place no matter how good you are. Character and experience is born through adversity, not comfort.

@kinson88 @iainpayten @StanSportRugby @StanSportAU @wwos @smh Are the wallabies receiving any special training for dealing with pressure? Specifically, do the leadership group have someone like a sports psychologist to help understand how to make better decisions under pressure and rally the team in the middle of a game?

[Jono @jonodeee]

@JohnHill795836 High speed is fine, just has to be at the right moments, especially against a team that is better at it than we are.

[Jono @jonodeee]

Absolutely atrocious IQ from wallabies today. Why are we playing into NZ fast play. So many players doing dumb desperate low IQ plays. Poor defense allowing NZ dominant carries. Also you cant kick and expect exhausted backs to chase after long periods of play. Terrible.

@DQ2230334581422 @brumby_fan From my pov, it's that we try to out play them at their own fast ball game. Like we try to dial up the pace to 'hit back', but in reality we dont have the skills to match and end up making many mistakes. The errors compound, more pressure is applied, and we implode.

Wallabies Analysis

Positives
- Bench (Bell, Lipo, Canham, Pollard)
- Meredith (despite poor kicking/fluffs) grew into game and tried hard
- Scrum parity
- Henry at 12 played decently
- Wilson's consistent workrate

[Jono @jonodeee]

@AlexDeLarge_110 Yep definitely need our best players to be available during Bled, but we still need to sort out wider issues.

[Jono @jonodeee]

Genuinely fuming at this game. We have gone so far backwards. When score pressure was applied, we folded. Made tonnes of erros. The wallabies need a psychologist to learn what to do when down on score. Don't try outplay NZ in running. SLOW IT DOWN. Really bad rugby IQ. #AUSvNZL

Negatives

- Potter was woeful. Drop him
- Poor decisions under pressure
- Terrible defense. Coaches failed here
- Bad decision making close to tryline
- Low rugby IQ high-ball kicking after long exhausting passages
- Didnt respect possession enough
- Inability to adapt in H1

[Jono @jonodeee]

@biscuitman007 He has been absolutely terrible

[Jono @jonodeee]

@JohnBFergo Genuinely angry at the low IQ play we are showing. It's collective across the team too.

[Jono @jonodeee]

Coaching team also have a lot to answer for - seeing the same tactical errors from last week. Playing the highball game without Su on the wing as well? Also doing it after long exhausting passages? Poor tactics

[Jono @jonodeee]

@brumby_fan Cant chase when they're all exhausted after long periods of play. Wallabies playing with low IQ again

[Jono @jonodeee]

@JohnBFergo So many headscratchers. I would assume Dono and BPA are injured to not make this team. It's insane to me you'd throw HMP in for his debut at an important bledisloe match over calling in JOC or Foley. Dropping Tate is also a good call but Teddy shouldve been in squad earlier.

Love @drew_mitchell dropping truth bombs on @kickoffskickons today. Perfectly encapsulates my confusion with this week's callups. Where is hat trick Pietsch?! Also our gap at 12 is frustrating & KB is in form for a one-off break glass in emergency moment.

@TerryMatalas Getting to work with Spader must have been an absolute dream. Can't wait to see what everyone cooked up!

[Jono @jonodeee]

@kinson88 @StanSportRugby @iainpayten @wwos @StanSportAU 9 is arguably more important than 10 right now. Lonergan is class, but there's a giant drop off in skill after him. If he gets injured, our test level 9 situation is grim. Tate is out of form and struggling. Should we blood in Wilson this Nov tour given Thomas/Hastie in Aus A?

[Jono @jonodeee]

@m_rosenbloom28 What is possible and what is probable are two completely different things. The writing is on the wall. If they rejected the old creators & writers, then it's highly probable that it's not going to honor what came before. Everyone is entitled to optimism, but it shouldnt be forced

[Jono @jonodeee]

@JohnBFergo John - im confused why Pietsch is here and not in main squad. Rkn its lack of game time after his injury?

Also does Wilson's omission / Kalani's inclusion likely mean we'll see Teddy in the main squad? Tate has been so lackluster. His passing in the last test was really bad :(
