Genia saved 2 certain trys with massive tackles that knocked the ball loose. He is class. Pity about the fool outside him.

Problem was that one of those try saving tackles was made because he turned posession over on our 5 meter line...he's a great player but i think he had a shocker today. He was very slow at getting the ball to runners, running 3 or 4 paces before passing. That wasn't helping Cooper's cause (though nothing could have in this game).

Genia's good. Just had an off night, mainly because the ABs were really hitting the breakdown hard, meaning he was always taking the ball while moving backwards. Cooper's a myth (which tonight should've proved beyond any shadow of a doubt if anybody still thought otherwise).

Cooper was good tonight apart from the opening kickoff and 1 dropped bomb. Was Australia's best back, pity he had no one with him when he ran it.

Genia is a disgrace and a moron,down by 14 with 3 mins left and he keeps going the blind side with the forwards,not once does he look to spread the ball wide,HELLO were down by 14 points


DISGRACE of a player

Copper's form was shit leading to the game, at best he should have been on the bench tonight.

As for genia it is a bit hard to do much as a half if your forwards keep getting smashed time after time.

The all backs were too good tonight, we never looked in the hunt

Genia is the best halfback in the world. He is a great player. Cooper, on the other hand, just does not have the full set of skills that you need from a first five. Would Barnes or Giteau have made a difference? I don't think so. It's not easy when your forwards are being outplayed to look good.

Cooper settled and got some confidence back after knocking over that field goal. He showed how dangerous he can be when he starts using his footwork in broken play.

Not much any of the Aussie backs could do behind that pack though. The Wallaby scrum would be lucky to be in the top 10 of the WC.

Both games were average one try in each- the Wallabies didnt throw anything at the Blacks to test them at all. Which French team will turn up for the final who knows but if it's the best French team they have a big chance of winning as they have a good record in beating the Blacks in big games in the RWC.

My prediction France by 5

Well the Wallabies got what they deserved. Continually box kicking, not contesting for it and handing over possession. We were comprehensively outplayed and deserved to be thoroughly beaten...AB's forward pack was awesome and Dagg and Jane were outstanding.

The French don't deserve anything and I sincerely hope the AB's tear them a new one!
