England v Australia

NTA

Turned on. 9 handling errors. Now 10.

😐

Second row just not contributing. Skelton hasn't improved, but might be time for Hoskins

NTA

And there it is. Congratulations Ollie

Ridiculous call. The 2nd penalty should supersede the 1st one surely.

With foul play it does, and I believe tackling a player in the air is foul play, so it should have been a pen to Aus IMO

Deary me, this is dull, turgid stuff for a neutral.

That is my understanding too.

Harsh obstruction call. Englishman fell into Nic White there.

NTA

That's a fucking rubbish call on White from the TMO. That should be reviewed and dismissed

More obscene officiating. I'm with @mariner4life the game is fucked.

He was nowhere near the action and the English player ran into him.

England 25 Oz 15. 8 to play.

Fuck, Beale has been rubbish. Made one very good defensive play when the Pom winger was almost in, but other than that, loads of shite

sparky

Nearly over. England have little spark or creative about them. Australia have not enough power and make too mistakes to trouble seriously an organised outfit like England. Not a riveting watch.

Cripple fight

Australia chance their arm at the end. Get turned over. England run it back and score. England 32 Australia 15. All over. Dull as dishwater that.

England 8th win in a row. I suspect the next RWC Final will be between two 6 Nations sides.

Another game dominated by the TMO. What the fuck has happened to rugby?

Possibly, but as Drew pointed out in commentary; players know the refereeing team is harsh on players that change their lines and he did so solely to impede the English defender.

Two dumb YCs didn't help the Wallabies either.

There’s always Italy and Scotland to keep it real, Wales too.
