England to whitewash Australia

[hydro11]

<p>I think England started to dominate in the forwards towards the back end of that half. Aussie back line looks bloody dangerous though. Pooper has been well nullified.</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>England winning the collisions - as evidenced by the injury toll. Commentators said that Eddie reckoned if England were ahead after 25 or so minutes they wouldn't be caught.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Right now, it's looking like it. Still...it's only halftime.</p>

[NTA]

Smart scrummaging by Cole - shoulder in and down, hold back post-engage, and let Sio over extend

[NTA]

Great cohesion by the Pommy forwards and some utter shit by our blokes up front.

[NTA]

Haskell ripping it up. Looks fit, focused

[NTA]

We're too lateral. Need to start switching inside off Foley

[NTA]

Cole does it again. Just folding in. Next one will be a penalty

[NTA]

Lol sucker punched! Expecting Cole to drop, they change momentum.

[No Quarter]

I don't agree with Eddie. The Wallabies are an 80 minute team, England not so much. Wallabies will finish strong, 11 points in 18 minutes is well within reach.

<p>England should putting the game away in this 10 minute sin bin period but instead are looking a bit clueless on how to close the game out.</p>

Boof stupid by Mumm

[Derm McCrum]

Farrell nails it again. 8/9 tonight I think

[Billy Tell]

England showing the advantage of an 85% goal kicker.

[Derm McCrum]

Great tackle by Haskell. <br><br>
Oz score anyway. <br><br>
25-32 with ten to go.

[No Quarter]

And a fuck load of kickable penalties.

[No Quarter]

England getting away with a lot at ruck time, really slowing the Wallaby ball down.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Weird decision. They'll only have 2 minutes to score 4.

[No Quarter]

Ooo tough call but I would have gone for the try and draw, not sure they have time to get up the other end of the field.

[No Quarter]

And it turns out to be the wrong decision. Going 80m in 2 minutes is highly unlikely.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Deflated crowd here. Weird game but well done England.
