England V Australia

@scribe said in England V Australia:
@catogrande er replacements? Fast Eddie prefers the term 'finishers' according to the EnglandRugby email I just received.
'Finishers' always sounds like someone employed at a brothel to ensure you go home with a smile on your face in case the selection you made doesn't do it for you.

@crucial said in England V Australia:
For those that don't understand English the team is..
Team: M Vunipola, Hartley, Cole; Launchbury, Lawes; Robshaw, Underhill, Hughes, Youngs, Ford, Daly, Farrell, Joseph, May, Watson.
Re: Itoje. has Eddie seen through the hype?

That's what I like about the Fern. Every day's a school day thanks to those with the experience.

In that you really are

@Catogrande I can still see that horse breathing.

FYI Oz team is: Sio, TPN, Kepu, Coleman, Simmons, Hanigan, Hooper, McMahon, Genia, Foley, Hodge, Kerevi, Kuridrani, Koroibete, Beale. Subs: Moore, Robertson, Alaalaatoa, Philip, McCalaman, Timani, Phipps, Hunt, Speight (one to omit).
Surprised they didn't bring Hunt in, I'm not a fan of our midfield. That said we have three playmakers in that backline, so I hope to see the ball get wide as much as possible.
The England side looks bloody solid, I must say. I think we're still a fair way off them, so I'd tip England by 10-15.

Jeez you've brought it in from 20!
I suppose I should sit down and watch the Wales game at some point, then I'll get to this some time Sunday no doubt.
Likewise, I expect us to show a bit, but with that midfield attempting to bash its way through England - after failing to do that against Wales (95% tackle rate from the boyos?) this isn't going to end well.
-
@nta Let me ruin the Wales game for you; if they could catch and pass, they may well have won!
-
@antipodean I knew the result and saw the stats - just wanted to see the individual performances and prove that, while impressive against Japan, a Kerevi/TK midfield wasn't ever going to be enough against top tier.

Good luck both teams.
You do realise this is England and Australia?
Having lived here for 15 years I guess I should show some type of good will towards Straya.

Aussies have improved , and I do think they can do it ,
But im going to tip England , for no other reason , than they seem to have their measure psychologically in recent times , seem to enjoy playing them
8 from the last 10 I think it is , that is a pretty healthy percentage ,
but im kind of going for the Aussies , to fly the flag for SH rugby and all that , but it just feels weird saying it

@raznomore said in England V Australia:
Go Australia.
I feel sick.
Not going to your extreme Raz.
I'll settle for "un-go England!"

who's the Ref? Go Him!
Seriously, I reckon Aus could sneak it.
