Matty and Patty in Edinburgh – Wallabies match review
In the rain and the wind, Edinburgh came to life as 44,000 kilt wearing, bag pipe playing Scots crammed into a buzzing Murrayfield.
The diehard fans deserved the performance that the Scottish rugby side turned on.
It wasn’t Australia’s night and no human being deserves the responsibility that was flung on Matt Giteau’s shoulders after that Wallabies’ performance.
Either way, the conversion was missed and the win was not to be.
Matty and Patty review the devastation and heartbreak in the video below, but raise their heads for the prospect that lies ahead in Wales.
Chin up Wallabies, let’s bring it home with a win!

![Michael Tuck medallist Barry Hall couldn’t have started life at the Western Bulldogs any better, prompting many pundits to believe the Dogs have solved their ‘power forward’ problem and are now 2010 Premiership favourites. But some maintain it’s a matter of time before ‘Big Bad Barry’ has another brain-snap.

nice work guys, though not sure about some of your highlights from Murrayfield. Just quietly though, how good have your guys got it on this trip?!? The other videos on the boys’ website are worth watching too. AAC for eg mentions that he prefers playing wing to fullback?!?

The outtakes are the best. Pretty interesting comment I read on The Roar today about the ARU’s lack of depth – propelling youngsters up to the highest level without the required experience. Wonder if Matty n Patty can tell us anything from the ground while on tour about how some of the boys might feel…AAC must be one of the standouts. Mitchell is consistent. Hynze nothing special but reliable. I’m not going to touch the centres.

Good work boys. Adding further feul to your fire about Edinburgh being cursed. I had my bucks night out the day before my wedding in Edinburgh. My best man (who flew over from Sydney for the occasion) broke his toe in an 4am alcohol related injury and spent several hours in Edinburgh infirmary the morning of the wedding. (we defintely thought he could have jumped the four flights of hotel stairs in one go his underwear) He spent the next two weeks whilst over here hobbling around on crutches when we planned to climb Ben Nevis. Damn you Edinburgh !
