Wallabies v Wales Review - July Rugby Tests 2024

[@sirviv]

So good to get a win for my Wallabies. Good signs.

[@vuyaniman9440]

Would have been surprised if they didn’t win. Wales are not in a good place.

[@peterlangan1181]

Bok supporter here, yes you are right, still a way to go, but cut out the mistakes and it looks like Australia will climb the ladder quickly.

[@garethrichmond4388]

Congrats on the win, Australia

[@JRits399]

That Tom Wright try was awesome. The guy has serious pace.

[@crazyrabbit4487]

Agreed, he's such an electric player and he almost always makes big plays whenever he has the ball. It was a disgrace that Eddie left him out of the RWC squad last year.

[@jules9123]

Thank goodness for that! Hopefully the start of some better times for the wallabies!

[@vindaloo3134]

Thanks for all your previews and reviews. I always come to your channel for insights before a series

[@xxwales15xx33]

Your upload speed never fails to impress!

[@ShaneNewton-p3b]

Kia from Aotearoa New Zealand...Well done on a winning start Joe, Staff Management &' Supporters: Wallabies Team, Great effort in getting the job done..

[@InsanelyIrish]

I'm just happy it was a good game both teams showed sparks of potential which is great. Two teams nearly ruined by their respective unions. Glad Aussies won as I always loved seeing them play.

[@nepiahemopo1702]

As an AB supporter, I'm delighted with the result, congrats!

[@JamestonBoi]

Now just Pumas to win then it's SH sweep

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Yeah much needed for the Wallabies

[@TobieBotha]

Well done Australia. It is about time you reenter your role in world rugby. The world needs a strong Australia. You have tasted your potential again. It will get better and better from now on.

[@christiancatley4120]

Hope this Australia team can keep improving. This is a start for them! A good Aussie team is what world rugby need. From an All blacks fan

[@ch0ptLiva]

you sir are a legend!!!

[@johnnysopals]

I was there, scrappy game but really optimistic about the Aussies future. Great set pieces from the Aussies,

[@joehope9975]

Gatland is doing everything in his power to prove his doubters right. It's hard work being a Welsh rugby fan.

[@fleshen]

I'm not sure what to make out of this game as a Welshman, I thought with a very strange team we could have knicked it but didn't so fair play to the Aussies! Gats is really testing us😀 I think we can get it back next week we probably come out of this better than the Aussies! That's just my opinion as a biased Welshman don't hate me😂😂🍻🍻

[@johneales5024]

Loved our attacking ruck and ball security, especially in the first half! Haven’t seen us looking that organised in a few years. Credit to Joe for picking a few grafters in the side and Liam Wright as captain - he’s not the biggest unit but he runs an efficient lineout, absolutely busts his ass around the park and really sets the tone. Go Wallabies!

[@readesiun988]

Nice to see the Aussie's get a win, congrats and hard luck to Wales, pretty evenly matched as was ABs v England, small margins

[@gnomevoyeur]

Seeing Michael Lynagh’s son run on made me feel human age again, after seeing Ian Botham’s GRANDSON run on made me feel about 1000 years old.

[@nicensleazy1892]

I think Wales are nudging forward with each game. It's gonna take time, but I feel Gatland and the team are in the right direction

[@johnmcdonald-6196]

From a wallabies perspective the most impressive thing was the post match messages from the players and coach. They know they aren’t world beaters from one win over wales. Great to take positive steps forward and hopefully this is the start we can build something around.

[@dmbassett]

I was there and the crowd was great. The atmosphere was coming from those wearing red. Even if the ARU had stuck them all behind the sticks.

[@aaronmoore9417]

That Tom Wright try! Man he’s got some gas. Happy for the Wallabies and Joe Schmidt

[@n-tertainmentx-tended4760]

The Wallabies have great backs. The problem is, they can only put 8 decent forwards on the field. If any of them get injured (especially the props), they are stuffed.

[@crazyforcoffee5950]

Something they really need to fix.

[@montefrancis369]

Disagree with the props, TH we've got tupou and aalatoa, with admittedly no real options after that (Slipper, Nongorr, Faamusilli or Hogeman). LH we have Bell, Slipper, Kailea, Schoupp and Hodgeman.

[@Dharamundi]

Missed the game live but finally watched it in full this morning. Very happy with the win but definitely some room for improvement. After the the crap show of last year, I’m happy with a win and the team is looking better as well

[@conchronic]

Joe Schmidt will do a good job with Australia, he was excellent during his time in Ireland and I feel his inside knowledge (of Ireland) plus rugby IQ gave Abs the edge at rwc so expect Australia to move up the rankings in run up to next world cup .

[@Thatiscutebr0]

Good to see the wallabies getting a win in sydney (first one in sydney since 2019 and first one in sydney against a tier 1 team since 2016)

[@kuikyroje]

Jeez Blythe surprised me. He was getting through a mountain of the unglamarous work!

[@randyviper388]

Wright was shocking up until that solo try. Still believe he's not an international FB so many drop balls but would have him on the wing.

[@patlynch6113]

Great win wallabies. Jo has a fair bit of work to do before we can be a threat to the Blediso

[@Samizouza]

Wonderful to see the Wallabies back on track under Joey.

[@Richiv77]

Exactly as predicted, well done Wallabies.

[@JRits399]

A lot of postive for the Wallabies. Lolesio and Lynagh as our stable 10s moving forward. A lot to get excited for.

[@calmkidcalamity9125]

Let’s go boys! A win!! 🎉

[@glennwoods2462]

He slid 5 metres for the try..... fair dinkum.....😲

[@Randombourg]

It was the hemisphere wooden spoon playoff

[@sakabula2357]

The Wallabies number 3 prop is quite a unit...

[@kitdyer8968]

Well done the Wallabies good victory

[@corncakes]

As much as i love McDermott, Gordon was just too good and was on fire for most of the match - clinical box kicking.

[@WelahMan]

Maybe this is a good time for wales to learn to play their players in the right positions!!!! And maybe pick more then 3 players from the one winning region (more then the others combined!!!)

[@therugbynoise2116]

Aussies looked good for a fresh start n the Welsh well yea

[@yddraigoch]

yes let's start with the forwards Coach - Humphreys - bring back McBryde - to be honest let's start again with a whole new WRU, they've been killing the game here since the 1980's/90's. I just wasted £26 on a now tv/sky subscription - will never learn bois bach 😡

[@rossd6809]

Wales was off side too often. Lolesias kicking was pretty ordinary

[@kennethglynn-braun7028]

Only four days of training for the Wallabies, not a bad effort

[@TwoCentsRugby]

Really man feel like they'll only get better

[@bobbler42]

The Aussies can scrum! Is it 1999 again?

[@rhysjones9870]

Gatlands selections continue to baffle me, a tighthead who cant even get on the bench for his club, The regions best 12 at 10 when we desperately need creation in midfield, Second row on the bench who currently plauing divison 4 rugby and then players like Plumtree who hasnt really shown he is capable at this level....its crazy how many in form players are being left out and they wonder why everyone is leaving Welsh Rugby

[@DavidShort-q1d]

Wales where awful in every department Their set piece was shattered both scrum and lineout failed to create anything troubling and struggled badly to get over the gainline As for Australia looked undercooked and rusty and at times struggled [ only 4 practice /training days ] Though they where by far the better team overall Next week it well could be a humiliation for Wales

[@seanofarrell8896]

Jeo will be judged during the rugby championship

[@gabegrace8333]

ABs...look how a backline should attack..

[@charlottescott7150]

👍

[@JonathanGrant-pr9cw]

As a Welsh fan I am embarrassed. Such a waste of time watching them. Just putting out an under 15s team constantly, with the carrying power of an under 15s team as well. Shocking

[@taksanetoshi]

Aus are bottom half of the table provincial team. Don't have the talent, especially in backs. All the best athletes are in the evil NRL. Facts hurt.

[@DeftPol]

All true, and the earlier stage talent in the private school system that used to support the game are largely going to the AFL - which is incidentally where most old Union fans have gone. Still, a win is a win. If Schmidt can get the side to cause a few big upsets, he’ll have done his job well.

[@darrenleroux2034]

Wales need to move on from Gatland, he is a serial loser unfortunately - can’t argue with stats and facts. They need a fresh perspective to drive them back to better days in the future….

[@tuckervio3189]

As a New Zealander, i hope the Wallabies do well from here on in.

[@calmkidcalamity9125]

Me too
