True, but both of those wins were against "B" sides.



SPOILERS for Wales-Australia


I'm blaming this on the decision to sub Webb.

Warburton and AWJ played amazingly well.

A couple baffling decisions (the two Hollywood passes that got intercepted inside the Aussie 22 that led to Australian tries, playing on instead of taking a penalty and going for the corner at the end).

Three tries with Biggar and Webb in, one (penalty) try with both out.

Australia was brilliant counter-rucking. They won so many penalties.

I found it hilarious how the Welsh commentator would name any Ospreys player who made a mistake but would never name a Scarlets player who made a mistake.

George North is good at rugby.
