    Ding dong stuff.

    Aus not precise enough with the short passes, wayward or too high.

    Anscombe is the kind of player who could light up this game.

    Daft penalty. Australia have dominated so far, but the stupid mistakes will kill them.

    Let off the hook there...shocker from Anscombe.

    Shocking from Wales not to have anyone following up the penalty

    Australia are playing wayyy to much rugby in the wrong areas of the pitch.

    They need to kick better to get better field position and then play from there.

    Going through 8-10 phases around the halfway line is a complete waste of energy and workrate

    "Will Rowlands deserved better than that" - ITV


    He was clearly on his hands from the start, like a giraffe drinking water.

    Welsh counter rucking with hands on the floor 4ft from Barnes' eyes and he doesn't see it, has to be told by the AR 30m away.

    Aussie are terrible at protecting their rucks. Some great running rugby, though.

    Kerevi has straightened a few times too when it was better to go wide.

    Australia's execution and discipline in key moments is awful and has been for some time now.

    Nobody off the ground for an attacking lineout 5 meters out.

    You wouldnt see it in the AIL

    Once again playing to much rugby in their own half and its knocked on for a welsh scrum on halfway.

    There is a naivety to this aussie side that will take sometime to improve

    Australia went side to side for 12 phases and got absolutely nowhere. So poor.

    Australia are a pity. 8/10 phases around halfway and then they cough up possession.

    Why cant donaldson kick the ball?

    Australia so poor - they had a good spell for about 15 minutes after the Wales try, but they're just falling back into poor decisions and stupid mistakes.

    This might be the worst Australian team I've seen in my lifetime.

    Australia are a poor team. Beaten in all facets.

    Australia turning down the 3 points only to eventually concede 3 points has been a massive turning point.

    Jeez this is shocking from Australia. How have the fallen back so much since Eddie took over. Ireland just about beat them last nov.

    half time can’t come quick enough for Aus .

    People in their early 20s could say the same about this Welsh team.

    Wales to stroll to the semis with a quarter final against Argentina/Japan/Samoa without having played a decent team in their group. Pretty sickening when you think that Ireland will have beaten 3 of the top 5 ranked teams if they get to the semis.
