Another week, another win by the Wallabies’ Green and Gold Army away from home this time being too good against Wales earlier this morning at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff by a mighty 32 points, 20-52.
They fired off well earlier on to give themselves a head start, although Wales weren’t far behind at the same time with a six-point gap between those two going into the break (13-19).
But at the end of the day though, the Welsh still haven’t learnt their lesson with their 11th straight loss in recent matches – that goes back to the last pool stage game during the World Cup last year in France v Georgia.
Meanwhile, the Wallabies continued to be a different beast which was a far cry their worst day out also from the World Cup also at the same time against this Welsh side under Eddie Jones of course.
But safe to say that Joe’s Wallabies is flying high & there’s still two more games left in this Spring Tour in the hope of replicating their golden 1984 Grand Slam tour, with Scotland next up this weekend at Murrayfield before we round it off to Dublin’s Aviva Stadium the weekend after that for his Irish reunion against the No.1 ranked Ireland.
Who loves driving these tractor toys on his way towards scoring tries as if he’s looking after the farm? Well, what a rugby field day it has been from the hooker Matt Faessler after his unbelievable hat-trick haul off line-out and maul time for the Wallabies. Pretty sure he’d be a handy farmer to provide some good fruit & veggies as much him loving rugby and he handled this brilliantly every time the Wallabies were too good, especially when he plays for the Reds & also has played for Randwick before. Look out for Matty F more often in a very busy 2025 season.
There’s another hat-trick star in town at the streets of Cardiff and the turbocharged Brumby Tom Wright continues to be as good as it gets also in a Wallabies shirt from the back at 15. He at the right place at the right time as if the Wallabies let him start the car who has superior skillset handling like individual battles & most importantly, he has the extreme pace to pull off by surprise even from out of nowhere. What more does he want now? Beating Scotland next up and hopefully Ireland to finish the Grand Slam.
And Cardiff’s Ben Thomas has been lighting up the Welsh inside 12 who can play 10, kick conversions & actually tops the midfield stocks out of both teams combined. He’s always so keen to attack as if he wants to win that dodgem carts contest so badly and he’s done that to help get over the line twice. If he was in a winning mentality, then surely we should see more trickery & skill out of his bag – especially with our home Lions tour coming up in a few month’s time. But that might not happen or even be trusted if he does makes it when the Welsh cannot simply hang him up to dry any longer & they still haven’t won for over a year now.
