The Thursday Two-up: what have we learned and who has surprised on the spring tour

The autumn series, November internationals and the spring tour are all nearly done. There are two more money-spinning games this weekend in Cardiff and at Twickers.

The Thursday Two-up is about the rugby tour. It's time for the lessons learned. The tour ends next week.

The Wallabies are inconsistent and their attacking maul has all but disappeared. They haven't scored a mael try since the first weekend in July. The team is still inconsistent. It's hard to read what the team wants to do because of the selection carousel. They play Wales this weekend. Brett is surprised by the performance of Australia on the spring tour.

The All Blacks are far from favourites for the big dance, but their upward trend on this tour suggests some rewards are ahead. Digger is frustrated as an 80-minute performance continues to elude this All Black side.

The All Blacks are not as bad as many people were claiming, but they are still not good enough. The Wallabies are a long way off winning a World Cup, although their performances against France and Ireland show they aren't far off the mark. Cam Roigard has an opportunity to take a big step forward in Super Rugby. The loss to Italy was disappointing, though. It was mostly the development side. They are the first-choice side with a number of high-class players to add back in.

Harry has learned a lot from the Springboks tour. He's impressed with Willie le Roux and the pack. Harry has noticed Lukhanyo Am is missed in the red zone.

Los Pumas are struggling to maintain concentration and energy after playing a Tier 1 team. Pablo Matera is playing in a position not natural for him. Facundo Isa is a natural No. 8, but he starts only from the bench later in the game in blind side. Gonzalo Bertranou does not have a reliable kick to either the sideline or the box. Tomas Cubelli is injured and his issue of playing for a team has not been solved. Lautaro Bazan Velez is the alternative to Cubellos at flyhalf.

Cheika and co. are considering taking Nicolás Sánchez to the World Cup. Los Pumas players do not have much time together to train. They do have players like Agustín Pichot and Juan Martín Hernández driving the team. The Pums pretends to play the way they did in the Rugby World cup in 2007.

Nick Frost, Jed Holloway and Michael Hooper have been the standout players on the Wallabies tour. Hoop was injured in the game against Wales and was left out of the squad. Geoff is going to answer the question on Thursday. The Thursday Two-up will discuss the results of this tour and who has surprised them. The winner will be announced at the end of Thursday's show.

Aaron Smith and Jordie Barrett have impressed Digger. Tyrel Lomax has been impressive at tighthead. He will only get better as he gets more games. It has not been a good position recently for the All Blacks.

Mark Telea has emerged as a surprise success for the All Blacks. Mark Nawaqanitawase was injured a year ago but is now fully fit and playing well for Waratahs. The Waratshahs program under Darren Coleman has helped him transition into Test rugby.

Harry has learned a lot from Kurt-Lee Arendse on the spring tour. Kurt is strong in the air, fast to the gap, clever with the boot and bravely technical in tackle.

Eduardo Bello and Thomas Gallo have been a pleasant surprise for Los Pumas. Ignacio Ruiz has been playing well despite not playing for a long time. Santiago Socino was not selected for hooker position due to his great moment in Gloucester.
