    Yeah and apparently June tests don't count for Nth hem teams, according to them they are SO tired 😀 after a long season.
    Aussie in June are not the same beast that played at Twickenham today (or in Dublin last week) and neither are England but Nth Hem teams have this mentality that away from home means you cant win. It all steams from there coaches and media who reinforce this by saying its ok to lose away from home in club games. I hear it week in week out with the premiership teams, Pro 12, Top 14 coaches saying that its so hard to win away from home before the game has even kicked off. This transfers to the international sides. Come in June and win regularly in the Sth hem, like we do every year up north and remember its our end of season tour, and then you will be taken seriously.

    Bloody hell, that match had me chewing my fingernails most of the way through. The only time I felt sure about the winner was during the first 20 minutes. Were Aussie that good or were we that bad? Dunno, perhaps a bit of both.

    Peyper's performance wasn't that great but also it wasn't as poor as some would suggest. He missed a few knock ons but not too many glaring errors that influenced things. Yellow card was a joke though.

    I'm surprised that Peyer and the TMO missed all of England neck roll offenses in the first half. England made their own luck which is a mark of a good side.

    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.

    The SH teams don't look as 'fresh' as in previous years. Moore was asked by the interviewer were they tired and he said "no". He was just trying not to make excuses but the reality is they did look tired.

    But its the excuse we hear year in year out during the June tours. Its the first think we hear and its already an excuse being used by the Lions. Change the record its got a big scratch and the needle is stuck

    The teams are tired. I don't like it being used as a excuse. And luckily it isn't.

    Hell of a year to be a pommy rugby supporter, didn't see the game but if reports are anything to go by if England had their shit together in the first 20 it could have been an absolute shocker for Australia.
    Krusty has coached his team to 6 wins from 15 games this year, there must be rumours in aussie about him getting the axe soon?

    It has to be said, our record of 18 wins is under genuine threat now, will seem a bit hollow though if they get there without playing the ABs you would think ...... no fault of theirs though.

    It really doesn't matter if they do get more than 18 wins it doesn't prove anything as it doesn't prove a lot with us. If they do well done to them. But I couldn't give a Fcuk but the media will think its like Zeus has returned and is playing for England.

    Yeah sure Peyper wasn't that bad... straight after he carded DHP for SFA, he stood there and watched Hughes shove his hand in the face of a wallaby and mash his face into the ground. Very fair handed.

    Who else is there?

    Anyway, i hope nobody in the Wallabies camp blames the ref. I'm going back to sleep. Cricket season!

    @jegga And SA had 8 loses - a poor year for both teams.

    I haven't seen the game yet but have recorded it. This Grand Slam tour was always going to be demanding, and in hindsight Aust would have been wiser to play Ireland and England at the start. They probably had little choice though.

    Reading commentary: execution killed us. Held up twice over the line. A little knock on from Pocock prevented another try. Another pass created an intercept. Some shit work from Phipps and others trying to inject some pace.

    The coach has to wear some of that, and also the fact that the bench didn't see a lot of time this tour.

    But the players simply have to do better. The effect of Byrnes has not quite filtered through, clearly.

    The depth is probably better right now, but not across all positions.

    Really need 2017 to be that turning point to build a couple of good years. Right now, I could give less fucks about rugby.

    Bit of a misread on the events there Nick. The tries held up were more to do with good defence than poor execution. Pococks knock on created an opportunity rather than lose one.
    The real killer for you guys was Phipps having a complete brain fart waiting for a call from Peyper that never came. At that point in the game your lot were playing better and England were starting to look like they might get frustrated and crumble. It let them back in, they gathered their heads and built from there.
    However you were hard done by with Yardes try. The TMO telling Peyper he never lost contact with the ball while the evidence was the opposite.

    Getting held up is good defensive execution, but getting close enough to be over the line and not being able to score indicates another option was available, or that the subsequent scrum play wasn't good enough.

    The point I guess I was trying to make is we got close, but couldn't finish.

    Its another game I won't see due to the shitty timeslot
