<p>I find Palu off the bench an interesting option. It's not often you finish the game by slowing the pace and getting physical . </p>

<p>"and getting physical" ... only occasionally, but mostly ambling about amiably.</p>

<p>I'm similarly unconvinced by Skelton starting - he'll be puffing and blowing after 15 minutes, trying to keep up. He's big but it would be ever so helpful if he was also useful.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I did see him attempt to release his inner Bakkies Botha a couple of weeks ago and get pinged straight away. If I were Eddie I would have seen the same thing and noted it.</p> -
Well, so far Cheika should be happy. He's getting what he asked for from England.

If Itoje knocks that ball on to to HP's thigh, and it goes forward off the thigh, is that not a knock-on by HP? Whatever. Good score by Oz, but Nowell should have taken Folau. Great start to the match.

<p>A prime example of why I hate that "taking the halfback" rule Cane got binned for. Aussie won a counter ruck by smashing the halfback as he was about to pick up the ball, play on. Cane grabs an arm in a contest and gets binned. It's too subjective</p>

<p>Australia playing very well at the moment, that fortunate try has sparked them and they are all over the English in every facet. 12-7</p>

Knock on must be hand or arm I think -
<p>Folau a bit silly on the other side</p>

<p>Never a binning, right decision</p>

<p>Good try</p>

<p>you have dumb captains. Nige is not the guy you get offside by badgering him</p>
