    Anyone got a stream for this? Was watching on Foxtel but I wanted to lay down and the couch/floor is uncomfortable so i'm in bed with the laptop haha.

    No idea, it's on SBS though, they might stream through their website.

    Had to go. Pretty unlucky to not be a penalty try, given that the bloke who fielded it in the end was a couple of metres behind O'Connor.

    O'Connor promptly makes up for his missed penalty with a great cutout pass try assist.

    And converts from the sideline.

    Lachie Turner butchers one as I type.

    Samo holds up the defence as Barnes wheels around to his right and scythes through the defence for another try. Samo's ball skills to time his pass perfectly there was awesome.

    O'Connor slots the extras and the Wallabies are ahead 24 -6.

    Really impressed with these two commentators tbh.

    Is it just me or does O'Connor seem to be highly uneasy converting? The added responsibility of playing flyhalf and being first choice goalkicker is a big step up tbf.

    Yeah AWTA.

    Normally I can't hack an overseas call but they've been unbiased and informative.

    Yus. Looks like the Aussies will win.

    My $25 multi:

    Australia to beat Wales (pretty much in the bag)
    Tottenham Hotspur/Bolton Wanderers total game score > 1.5 (already happened)
    Manchester City/Norwich City total corner kicks > 11.0 (currently on 6 at halftime)

    Odds: 3.686
    Payout: $73.73

    I usually can't even hack listening to Seven's commentators, they're pretty much the Australian version of the Pommy league guys.

    Not only have they both been unbiased, but they've still done a good job of providing both sides to a situation rather than just describing the play.

    Using Centrebet live betting/live scores to keep track and all betting just got suspended. Assuming someone scored?

    ....or not. Betting unsuspended.

    24-11. I assume it got suspended while Wales were deciding whether to kick for goal or not.

    That's probably be it. Would be silly to go for goal though.

    I imagine they just do it for every game. If they provide an option for next scoring play or whether the next kick will be converted then they probably need to keep an eye on it.

    Hoping to see Williams have an epic toe bash now.....

    EDIT: Or not, didn't even give him the kick.

    He scored a try though :p

    Anywho, Australia have won and the total corners count for the Manchester City game is sitting bang on 11 with 18 minutes to go so at absolute worse, i'll get half price odds on my multi (still a profit).
