Australia v England - 2nd Test

[ACT Crusader]

Better by Oz. Bell excellent in the lead up.

[MiketheSnow]

England should be streets ahead

[nostrildamus]

The Tongan Thor just has to fall over and let his belly ripple momentum take him over the line. But still makes a good impact player. 19-7 to England, think they can hold out the Wallabies in next 40+ min.

[MiketheSnow]

Could be a YC either way there

Watching on delay. I'm aware Perese got a yellow for an attempted intercept that failed. I've just seen Hill do the same thing 11 minutes in and only get called for a knock on.

And Tupou just got called for a penalty where Genge was binding on his chest.

Brace is weird

Collisions like that make a mockery of World Rugby's concern about head contact.

Shoulder to the head by itoje?

FFS, because Hill had a genuine chance of gathering it in. Your player jumped up with one hand.

Those two are nothing alike. Hill actually got two hands to it and knocked it backwards into his own body and then couldn't regather.

Lol the maul is the worst referred part of the game. When the jumper gives it back before the feet have even hit the ground, it isn't legal

Paisami’s shoulder to Itoje’s head, yes

Yep just saw perese on the big screen instead of phone screen. Should have had my glasses on

So is Eddie a genius again?

Itoje should be embarrassed by that effort. Getting bumped by someone half his size.

[Stargazer]

Yup, was never going to catch that.

The Australian commentators are so biased you'd think they were taking the piss out of biased commentators Miles Harrison.

FIFY

[MiketheSnow]

If Oz score next it could get interesting
But England should be home and hosed
Smith-Farrell does not work

[Kirwan]

Hate to see a player in that much pain. His knee looks fucked.

[antipodean]

JOCs knee is made of glass now. Pity for the bloke - he'd finally matured and was playing some good rugby.

Edit - thought that was JOC.

Sad for Perese anyway.
