England V Australia
-
England's Slytherin bench looks good, Australia look a bit unhappy when it the field gets soggy and the sun goes out-perhaps they are solar powered?
-
I am not convinced Itoje is the sharpest tool in the oversized shed.
-
Wow that was a surreal bit of bad and good rugby for a clever soccer try. 11-3 Pomeranians to Dundees.
-
Well done England, Beale went into spectator mode, we complain about BB but Foley really doesn't control a game from 10, does he?! Australia didn't change their game plan to the conditions, I thought, and missed Folau.
-
My stream went down so couldn't see the last 15 minutes or so, but jesus christ it is hard to support the Wallabies when they are like they are. Created enough opportumities to score 3 tries but then just bomb everything away.
Simmons needs the boot. You cant play two big skilless centres Cheika, pick one and put Hunt with him there. Fucking hell man.
-
How often do the Wallabies play in these conditions? Their midfield in particular looked like they only play rugby in the Pacific sun..
-
@nostrildamus Uh...correct
-
@rebound Would be easier blame the ref if the Wallabies executed better when it mattered. Case in point the very odd try to Daly, if Simmons had not splilled the ball on the tryline or Kuridrani would have taken the offload from Kerevi, it would have been diferent result. So many woulda coulda shouldas.
Either it is the coaching, or the players just aren't good enough, probably a bit of both, add playing away and the ref being a bit hometown and you get a blowout score like this in the last ten.
-
Yeah thought Australia competed well physically considering they were missing the likes of Coleman, Tui and Rodda in the pack.
England played the conditions better - their superior kicking game helped - Wallabies were very adventurous considering the conditions.
Hooper and Koroibete Wallabies best.
Care vs Phipps is two different worlds of quality off the bench at halfback.
For all the controversy I thought Okeefe got the decisions right and reffed well.
