Wallaby EOYT 2016

I'm told Douglas had a good effort against Ireland, but I don't understand why Arnold isn't there. He had a series of knocks through the last few games, so maybe Cheika thinks he won't got the distance.
Having Mumm on the bench instead of another lock is a mistake IMHO.
EDIT: in that Mumm can play lock, and isn't bad at it, but he's going to need to harden up with our scrum under pressure.

The build up to this test has been pathetic. Eddie or Ella throw a troll line out, Cheika bites, and the press laugh as the shit writes itself.
I would always support the wallabies over the poms, but especially tonight. Fuck Eddie, he's getting too smug
-
@mariner4life "getting"?
-
Got up for a piss and just watched the last 5. Bonocock again shows his awesome ball skills by throwing a cut out pass to a pom for a try.
Game over. Season to forget for the clown.

A few thoughts before I hit the beers:
That was never a yellow for gold 14
Yarde took his chance well
Ford needs to get his big boy pants on and kick his goals like Farrell
Kepu, what pace for his try!
Ben Youngs king of the dummy - I'd have kept him on for longer. -

Phenomenal turnaround in this England squad - God bless you Eddie.
-
Did I just hear Pocock is off to play rugby in Australia? Where they go whaling right? Gee what an activist.
Yards started awful, but certainly came back into it. Lawes was awesome, think Hughes did more than Vunipola does too.
Good on Ford to come back from what was looking like going to Quadesville. Odd England didn't take the 3 when the bullshit yellow card came out, that would've shut the game down.
Nice win, although think Aussie choked a bit. Great year England!
-
Poms good but really horrible by the Wobs though. I can’t recall once when they kicked for territory or kicked to keep the Pom defence guessing. It was all a bit predictable really. Phipps and Foley have to take a bit of the blame. The Clown should fall on his tactical sword.
-
Well well. 6N should come down to Ire vs Eng in Dublin, but I rate France a chance to throw a spanner in the works, although Ireland have France at home.
The NH somewhat owned the AIs in the end, not a single signature SH display, bar Australia creaming a truly woeful Wales.

Not sure if we should be worried or not. England looked crap in the first half but were totally dominant in the second half. Their second half display scares me, to be honest, but they did get a huge helping hand from the officials and the wobs looked buggered. They are still a very good team and if they were to have a game against the ABs at Twickenham right now, I would not be able to call it.

Yes England look good but like all Northern Hem teams they are so comfortable playing at home. I judge them more on the way they play away from home. So the 6 Nations (mean the 6 yawns) away games for England will tell us more. They have a mental attitude that home advantage has a bearing on the result. They love the replays on the big to makes sure the crowd gets what they want.

@Wreck-Diver They did beat the wobs 3-0 in Australia not too long ago.
