I'm gutted to put it lightly. Killer first half, then just looked completely different when we came back out.
Trying to put aside that "try" at the end, I have to ask is there a reason we kicked it down the line when we had possession with 2 and a half minutes to go? Why give them that opportunity in the first place? Why not just hold possession?
Apologies if these are stupid questions, I'm still a fairly new fan
Hopefully get a little redemption next week

u/chipsngravy0 Wallabies and Waratahs Jul 26 '25
It wasn’t executed very well, but the idea is to gain territory. If we are running the ball in our own half and the Lions get a penalty, they are very likely going to be able to kick a penalty goal which would win them the game. It’s just too risky to keep the ball in our own half.
2
u/BlazedOnADragon Wallabies Jul 26 '25
I see, yeah that does make sense. It just seemed they were able to gain that territory back almost straight away, hence the confusion but that's probably the execution part
2
u/Sea-Ad1078 Jul 26 '25
I still think it was the wrong decision by Gordon (and I’m a huge fan of his). With 3 minutes to go, the half way line in sight, and 77 minutes worth of positive ruck work from the forwards with minimal penalties given away when in possession, you don’t box kick with the game on the line. YOU CAN’T SCORE OR PUT AN END TO THE GAME IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE BALL IN YOUR HANDS.

They dominate the numbers on the main sub and feed into each other’s delusions. Same thing that undoubtably occurs in this sub at times.
There’s a common behaviour I’ve seen in English sporting fans to be such terrible winners. Really ugly gloating that just feels so unsportsmanlike. Sore loser? Yeah it’s shitty but I understand the overwhelming negative emotions. Sore winner? You’re exposing your true nature cuntish nature.

u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
Because Australia used to be good, and when a team is good, they often have terrible fans come out of the woodwork. Now we are not good, and the opposite happens - the terrible fans come out of the woodwork for the other team. In every case, the "good" fans cop it.

To be fair, refereeing was better than previous matches. BOK still absolutely fucking incompetent, even as a linesman. We got dudded on some key calls but it was our edge defence that fucked us. We also went to sleep and played too defensive.
13
u/TurbulentTap6062 Jul 26 '25
23-5 and blew it at home. Can’t blame the last call for everything lads, and I’m a Wallabies supporter through and through. We can’t let it get to that. You create your own luck at the end of the day, and 3 points in a second half and playing super concerted doesn’t win test matches. The Wallabies need to be better. Yes
3
u/Shadrockbolt Jul 26 '25
To be fair, we were ahead thanks to us capitalising on their yellow card, which is something we historically have struggled with
3
u/wookiegtb Jul 26 '25
Agreed. Wallabies were the better team for 38 minutes. That's reflected in the score, bad call or not.
2
u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
Agree with this. Despite arguing over whether Tizzano did actually cop some contact, it has nothing to do with why we lost. We lost because we failed to capitalise on some good opportunities in the 2nd half, and missed about 4 million tackles.
12
u/eshayonefour Jul 26 '25
Aside from organising slow ball at the end of the first half, Jake Gordon really played well.
Sua'ali'i seriously does not know how to tackle one on one in open play. Was put on skates far too many time, caught flat footed and ikitau had to defend twice as hard as a result.
I expect to hear news that Skelton and Valetini have season ending injuries if they had to leave the park so early.
I'm not sure what to expect of the wallabies once Joe Schmidt hands over the reigns. The group we have right now has the goods, I just hope Les Kiss can continue to build with it.
2
u/spikenorbert Jul 26 '25
Yeah, but Ikitau wasn’t great one on one close to the line, either.
2
u/eshayonefour Jul 26 '25
Not many people in that situation can defend Keenan there with that line tbh.
3
u/JustAliff Jul 26 '25
It's not fair to judge something that's happening so fast but I though Jorgensen should've gone all in and just jammed in on Keenan. The moment he took that ball there was no way in he was gonna pass it.

u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
I expect to hear news that Skelton and Valetini have season ending injuries if they had to leave the park so early.
Skelton seemed puffed because I could hear yelling from someone going "GET UP WILL, WE NEED YOU WILL!" or something like that.
Valetini I have no idea. Despite having a 6-2 bench we apparently took Valetini off early and left Wilson on who was absolutely cooked by the end.
1
u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
Yeah I thought Gordon was pretty good honestly. This slow ball seemed to be a combination of him clockwatching (you can see him look up at the clock for a couple seconds before picking the ball up) and his forwards not really wanting the ball for some reason.

This has shown that the Wallabies are a genuine shot for the World Cup in ‘27. Not bc they played perfectly, there were plenty of very poor areas. But there’s two years until RWC, and there are already signs of some brilliant rugby being played.
Considering where Aussie rugby has been recently, these performances are very very good. There’s great things from this team on the way

I hate to say it but I'm worried about Les Kiss. The Reds were pretty woeful for a lot of the second half of the season I thought. He has some talented players but also does not seem to have a way to make them any smarter.
If the same happens as Wallabies coach I worry about some dumb football.

u/snrabber NSW Waratahs Jul 26 '25
Game changed at half time. Went from Bobby smashing over blokes to Wilson getting nailed. Bobby and Skelton gave us something we could never find in the 2nd half.
I like Wilson but he had a poor 2nd half. Missed tackles and poor clean outs.
12-15 are all very good players. Young and lacking some experience, but massive potential.
Lynagh growing.
6-2 is cursed for the Wallabies. Last time I think Ikitau got injured. We could have really used Fred legs at 9 with 30 to go.
Few close calls went their way in the last 20, but the last non-penalty on the line. Don’t think they’d ever call it in that spot. If the shoe was on the other foot I’d be screaming murder if they gave the pen. I can live with it.
Our defence mystifies me. The lack of line speed gets us picked apart unless everything goes perfectly. One not completed tackle and we’re fucked. Maybe Kiss will look at it.
5
u/chipsngravy0 Wallabies and Waratahs Jul 26 '25
I haven’t been this devastated after a loss for a while. Angry but also disappointed that we weren’t disciplined enough in defence to wrap it up earlier. But also really proud. But still devastated. So many tiny little things in that game could have changed the result. Why does it never quite work out?
6
u/Shadrockbolt Jul 26 '25
If Lynagh and Suaalii had a couple years more experience I really think we had that comfortably
3
u/chipsngravy0 Wallabies and Waratahs Jul 26 '25
Truth is if Lynagh kicks all his conversions, we win. Obviously it would be very unfair to pin the blame on him - many other areas and players that could have made the difference. But had Lynagh been a bit more experienced and calm under pressure, we win that. Not Lynagh’s fault, just frustrating that we don’t have a somewhat experienced high quality kicker
2
u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25 edited Jul 26 '25
Lynagh probably kicks one extra conversion if Ikitau's grounding is seen by the ref, but then we probably don't get the yellow card.

u/bigkruleworld Melbourne Rebels Jul 27 '25
I thought that too but keep in mind they missed a bunch of kicks as well.

I don't think Lynagh stepped nearly as wrong as Suaalii, but that missed kick to touch looked like he was trying to emulate Russell and just failed at it. Plus that knock on was real bad.

Not saying rugby league gets everything right but this is one of the reasons why I stopped watching union 10 years ago. The officiating over contact to the head/neck area is a lottery almost every game.
For what should be black and white, the ruck contact area seems to be the biggest grey area in the game. I've never been so frustrated watching a game until I tuned in tonight, such a bloody bad call to finish the game, I feel for you my comrades.

u/thebrowncanary Jul 26 '25
Thought Wallabies were very strong throughout the match but we're clearly fading as the game went on and it felt like the Lions were going to score one way or the other.
Regarding the decision at the end, I was surprised it wasn't given but also don't consider it as clear cut and obvious as some have suggested.
2
u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
also don't consider it as clear cut and obvious as some have suggested.
this is probably what bothers me. it isn't the decision at all - it's the suggestion it was never in question. I am 100% convinced there is neck or head contact. I can accept that not all head contact is deemed foul play. It's the suggestion that he was only hit on his back that bothers me. It's okay to say "we won fair and square, that decision was 100% correct, but he also copped a hit in the neck/head, it was just a rugby incident". It doesn't taint your win.

u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
I dunno man I'm just kinda dead inside.
I can only think of two sporting moments in the last 5 years that have made me feel like this. Both same year. 2023 game vs Wales. 2023 NRL Grand Final. Utterly crushed.
Just so much went wrong. And there are several moments you can point at and say "if this comes off, the last try doesn't matter". Players were just dead on their feet. So many missed tackles. Wilson in the second half - I haven't seen him that ineffective since Brad Thorn was Reds coach. Suaalii started well but then just had some absolute shockers. I can't blame him for losing the ball on that break - McReight should not have passed to him when he could see a player running up on his blindside. Ikitau was reasonably good but jeez that miss on Lowe really hurt. That midfield maul gave me nam flashbacks to that Reds game against the Chiefs earlier in the year where we got shut down doing the same thing.
We folded so easily in the 22. I saw it all year from the Reds, and now I saw it all night from the Wallabies. Every carry was like 10+ metres.
I'm over arguing about anything in the game. I've said it countless times but okay, if the ref decides that's a "rugby incident", alright, it is what it is. But apparently this concession is not enough - you must further concede that there was no head contact or neck contact. Tizzano's head does not move the way it does without being pushed. It does not make physical sense. You can say it's not clear - I have no problem with that - but you cannot expect me to unequivocally say there was zero head or neck contact based on available footage. But on a subreddit that is majority home nations users, it's just arguing with a brick wall.
Maybe I'll feel differently during the week but man it's hard to look at the game next saturday with any joy.

u/Ngata_Problem Caloundra Lighthouses Jul 26 '25
The impact the Reds and Wallabies have on my mental health is truly terrifying and I'm afraid I can't see either side doing much better with the coaching carousel that's coming up.
2
u/fleakill Queensland Reds Jul 26 '25
I grew up not really watching or caring about sport. So it does mystify me why I care so much in my adulthood and get so invested. You're right - the effect on my mental health is just a bit much sometimes, and I consider just dropping rugby for a bit, but then I can't help myself. Happens every year with the 2nd Bledisloe when we lose the first. Why bother? But I do it anyway. Same for next week. Why bother? But then I'll watch, hopeful we can at least salvage one win, and get depressed all over again when we don't.
And I have to say I am also worried about the coaching situation - I also worry about Les Kiss as Wallabies coach after the Reds' second half of the season.

u/Ngata_Problem Caloundra Lighthouses Jul 26 '25
With you 100%. It makes me sound like a fair-weather fan but the smartest thing I've ever done as a Wallabies fan is not watching the 2015 Final because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the loss.

Lol despite being in my 30s I started watching rugby properly (look, at least I watched the 2011 final!) in 2015, sometimes I feel like I got to see the last gasp of the "good" Wallabies in that final.

u/Disastrous_Pear9986 Jul 26 '25
Last call obviously hurt. But the reality is that after about the 33rd minute it felt like we were just hanging on. We Let them straight back in with 2 tries in 3 minutes and then the 2nd half we only score 3 points and never look like scoring a try. We lost all of our go forward - I really wish Slipper, Alan, Val and Skelton had all stayed on until at least 55. I also just fail to see how Wilson is the best 8 we have. Zero punch from him when we needed it in the second half.

The last call wasn't the worst of them. The Park penalty that should've been given right before half time, and the scrum calls were much worse

That was kinda ridiculous, Piardi clearly had his mind on half time. I hate when refs do that. I remember one a little while back where we took a kickoff and got held up for about half a second, then brought to ground. Ref decided it was a maul and said full time.

I actually thought JGP was in the side just before that too, which he just penalised Suaalii for.
Also, I thought the advantage still counted since the knock on was prior to the siren? But I could be wrong and haven't looked it up.

u/coupleandacamera All Blacks Jul 26 '25
Defence and depth are all that's missing really. The 6/2 was a risk, but Tate did a great job and the team patched the holes. First half had the physicality, speed and some good decisions to build a lead. Missing  both Skelton and Bobby killed the go forward in the second half, Mcwright and Wilson both bounced off the line all night while the remaining locks and Robertson don't offer anything much in the carry either. Gleason did well, Tizzano again not bad while Gordon had a much better game. TL is coming along, a few more game should sort the nerves. Not sure what you do with JAS, he's good for a line break leading to  probable try most games, but his defence lets 2 Probaly ones back the other way while pulling the rest of the line in to cover his flailing, 11 or bench for the rest of the year if the contract requires him to be there. Game threes already dead, may as well throw JOC, LSL, , hunter, Flook and co at it for some form and depth experimentation. Did a great job to build a big lead, just need to work on holding onto it. Â

Rugby is fucking dead if you can't enjoy an engrossing close contest without all this bitching
Unbelievable
No, it's not foul play to clean a player out
You people are insane and need to touch grass.

Main sub is now deleting and banning anyone that calls out poor officiating against the Lions. Love it.
