The Wallabies' July Nations Championship performance was a mixed bag, with some impressive wins and a few disappointing losses. Despite a strong showing in terms of crowd support, the team's overall performance was somewhat underwhelming, especially considering the absence of key players from their opponents.
The Wallabies' attack was impressive, with a total of 85 points scored across three matches. However, their defense was a concern, conceding 85 points in total, with a points differential of only +29. The set piece was a strong suit, with a 100% success rate in scrums and a lineout average of 94%.
The team's selection was a point of contention, with the non-selection of Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and the failure to bring in an experienced flyhalf when Carter Gordon and Donaldson went down. This led to a lack of grunt and a real enforcer, particularly after Tom Hooper also went down lame after the Ireland Test.
Despite the mixed results, the Wallabies' ability to secure bonus points has meant they sit third in the Nations Championship pool, one point ahead of Argentina. The team now faces tense clashes with England, Scotland, and Wales in November, but there is a lot to build on for the team as they move forward under new leadership.
