Constantly loosing the collision and line speed not good enough.

That said, Aussies getting away with an awful lot of lying on and then we get pinged.

Their first try comes off a massive forward pass the tackle before and the second off a ridiculous penalty.
Sure we're poor kicking wise and frankly our tackling and ball retention is equally rubbish but ffs officials making it tough already

Reality not excuses, shocking forward pass missed and as highlighted by commentators and SOL the penalty at the ruck was contra to everything both sides had been doing/allowed to do
You're the better team by far, making easy metres, better kicks, attack miles better but you don't need poor decisions from the officials to win it.
