Both teams had their share of dropping the ball, kicking out on the full etc. Do you think the win was solid, or just dumb luck?

No win against the All Blacks is dumb luck, you earn it all the way!:)
the boys are back in town wallabies made errors as much as the all blacks but we took our chances when given to us.
The wallabies are back!
they deserved that win and they worked hard for it.
I have one word for you, The Dunning.

Sorry Chook but I still think the Wallabies have a long way to go in the scrum area, I really think Hayman had it all over Dunning until he was in binned.
Australia's centres were great in the 2nd half! In the first half they seemed to run across the field without really getting over the advantage line but in the second half they really sliced things up.
The next two tests thanks to Sth Africa will be pretty abysmal but the next Wallabies v All Blacks game will be very interesting to see who has learned the lessons from the 1st match...
I have to agree with Nick, we have a LOT of work to do...
Dunning is at least being more competitive, but still not Haymans equal...He is a work in progress and quite possibly will be at his best come RWC time, so keep an eye on him is my tip...
After swearing at the telly for the first half i settled down with a beer and my little fella Austin and sat enthralled as the wallabies began to play rugby in the second half...Once hayman got the arse( legitemately mind you, if not him any one of them as they were definately slowing play down when the chips were down), the floodgates well and truly opened and the confidence was finally there for all to see...That said, a game of two halves doesn't bode well for the trip to NZ....
