    Happy for the kid, because after the announcement a while ago that he was changing codes there were a number in league circles who turned on him. They would’ve been ready with the daggers this morning had he not been so influential.

    And now they'll use it as proof that Rugby "Yawnion" is easy 🙄

    Don't know what call is worse, 'yawnion' or 'kick and clap'....

    For every Lote Tuqiri, Jason Robinson and Brad Thorn there’s loads of Benji Marshall’s, Sam Burgess’s and Roger Tuivasa Shecks…..very hard to say who will or won’t make it for whatever reason….

    Loigue fans arrogantly assuming players from ‘our game’ will dominate union are just absolute meatheads

    Leaguie's won't mention Will Chambers who did absolutely nothing in rugby for the Reds before going to League and becoming a regular fixture in the QLD State of Origin side and played a number of time for the Kangaroos

    As @MN5 says - some players do and don't suit each code - others are terrific at both

    Tupou got for a couple of things wrong in his setup that made him easy to penalise. Easy to fix. Shouldn't need fixing TBH - you're a test prop!

    Late in the first half the AR figured out that England were trying to fade after the hit to draw him off his feet.

    What a game!! That was awesome. And that is a huge win. Holy shit!!! Unreal watch.

    Bobby V is the best loose forward in Australasia, what a player.
    That Wallabies midfield is going to be a fucking problem. Suaalii showed a lot already and he was probably 2nd best to ikitau.

    Marcus Smith was huge, he did everything he could to win that for his team, best player on the park. What was that Wallabies formation? Every kick behind them found acres of space.

    That last 10 minutes, wow. I thought BOK had absolutely robbed the Wallabies, but that last try... far out.

    Twickenham silent, you love to see it. How's that northern dominance going?

    Agree with everything you’ve said.

    The biggest balls up England made last week was taking Smith off, he’s fast becoming one of the best 10s in the World. His ability to read the game today was something else. Those little chips and grubbers to fracture the Wallabies were a thing of beauty and his running game has gone to a new level.

    It feels like any of the top 8 teams on their day can win now. Awesome for World Rugby.

    From those you didn’t mention, I thought Angus Bell was a beast in this game as well. Carried really strongly and even made a few crucial breaks to get the Aussies on the front foot.

    The speed of his feet at the line is key. Amazing to watch. Still young at 24

    Instant classic. Going to be a great week!!

    Won’t repeat the good points from the many rugby gurus on the thread (and NTA posted as well), but I will say one thing.

    Len Ikitau is just class. I really rate him. You know who didn’t? Eddie Jones, who left him out of our World Cup squad. Fuck that guy.

    But yeah it’s the best Wallaby win since we put 40 on the ABs in Perth. And you could argue it’s better than that.

    Ikitau was excellent, typified by the final pass to Jorgensen

    But it was the double threat of the midfield combo which allowed both to excel

    English defence didn’t know who was going to be the threat on any given play

    And that created time and space for both of them

    This could be the start of a really good partnership

    Best Test match I’ve seen Smith play

    Would much rather have him over Russell for the Lions

    From what I have seen it would be madness to go with anyone else

    He was good last week as well.

    Awesome for Wobs. They have got some really talented players in that squad, so it was just a matter of time until something clicked.

    And they are young! As long as the ARU and the old boys stay out of the way they can really build something.

    Ikitau serving Ben Youngs some humble pie after he said Lions shouldn't bother even touring Australia next year

    Who is Ben Youngs?

    England’s most-capped rugby player Ben Youngs probably should have known better, but his bold anti-Wallabies statements of the past month have played their part in the Australians’ record-breaking win at Twickenham.
    
    led Youngs to opine that the British and Irish Lions tour next year should be moved from Australia to South Africa.
    
    He followed that up last week by proclaiming “Australia, don’t waste my time.
    
    “Joe Schmidt, he will have a couple of clever plays, it wouldn’t surprise me if Australia score a couple of nice tries, but other than that… I don’t want to say it.”
