England v Australia

@mariner4life To be fair to Hooper he saved a certain try to Cokanasiga on the goal line with a desperation tackle.

@paekakboyz Bugger! Didn't realise that when I first landed on it and I'm now paywalled out too. Here's SBS version
England prop's brutal sledge for Wallabies
England prop Kyle Sinckler used a sledge to remind the Wallabies of their off-field issues in his team's Test win at Twickenham.
England prop Kyle Sinckler ensured the Wallabies' off-field dramas weren't forgotten during their 37-18 Test defeat at Twickenham.
"You're all f...ing snitches anyway," declared Sinckler as a scuffle broke out early in the second half.
It was an apparent reference to the Wallabies' leadership group informing coach Michael Cheika that veterans Kurtley Beale and Adam Ashley-Cooper had breached team rules by having women in their hotel room after the Test loss to Wales.
While the guests were Ashley-Cooper's sister-in-law and two friends and they reportedly left after having some food and drink, Cheika responded by dropping both players for the England game.
It didn't help that the coach initially claimed the players were dropped for form and game plan reasons before the real story emerged.
Player of the match Sinckler was admonished after his sledge by referee Jaco Peyper who told him: "There are the laws of the game and the spirit."
Wallabies captain Michael Hooper said he didn't believe the off-field issue had affected the players during their loss to England and that he missed the Sinckler jibe.
"I didn't hear that," Hooper said.

Considering the TMO watches everything in minute detail, how was that missed, it's as blatant as they come

Wasnt there a recent change a couple of months ago where the TMO cant intervene but only get involved when referred to by the ref?

I thought it Sinckler hooping and hollering that was the issue at that scuffle, and Haco was telling him off for that.
I'll give him credit for the sledge though. Its clever. It's not abusive or personal (doesn't "cross the loine"). It's not crude. It hurts. Top work that man.

If this was Sonny Bill he'd have been crucified in the middle of London. i dont know how many times I heard the NH coms say SBW has the shoulder charge in his game on the lions tour. Well guess fucking what, so does Farrell.
Peyper is a disgrace.

British Lion's player to Colin Meads after an AB scrum had been demolished: "How's that for scrummaging, you f*ucker"
Meads: "F*cking impressive. When you pull your head out of your arse, you'll see we've just scored"

Just saw that Farrell charge. it's at the start of teh Stuff article below (probably region locked).
I have no idea how that was not a penalty try. He is a very very lucky boy -- the downside is that the controversy could rear it's head at the RWC next year, and he may find some time on the sidelines. Seriously, shaking my head yet again at the lack of consistency in refereeing. No idea how the players cope with random calls from week to week... how the hell do you play to the edge if the edge changes all the time.
Frustrating times as a neutral who thinks Farrell is a pit of a dick.
That is a disgraceful non call for the second time in three matches. If that has been an AB on a Pom the screams to lynch him would be as deafening as the expected silence after this incident
And he got away with one on Foley about 10 mins into the second half
That's three for the Autumn.

Farrell...., well...if that isn’t white privilege I don’t know what is.

Watched the Farrell-Ridda incident several times over. Sure Rodda lead with his shoulder and that’s what got Farrell off the hook. Not the right decision though. Penalty all day long and could well have been a penalty try which would likely have seen a yellow card too. Farrell a lucky boy.

If it’s a penalty then it’s a penalty try. Committed an offense that stopped a try. Simple as that.
As for Rodda leading with the shoulder? Bracing for impact isn’t illegal is it?
Karma (a friend of Aura) says he will get red carded for one during the RWC and lose a knockout game -

what's up with the England home game post-match interviewer chicks always being such baiting fluffybunnies? I hate cross-eyed Hooper, but he reacted pretty nicely to that fucking bitch
That was fucking embarrassing. Hats off to Hooper for a classy response. The bird needs sacking though. Awful, just awful.

His tackle technique is too close to the line and he is too often leaving himself at the mercy of the officials. Over the years there have been many with borderline tackle tekkers and they seem to get away with it more often than not.

Straight after the ‘tackle’ an England player dived on Rodda on the ground anyway. Another penalty
Yeah, Moon came in from the side. Then we were offside and got penalised.

Anybody got a link to that?
Just watched the full post-match interview with Cheika & Hooper - and while some of the questions were obvious baiting/bullshit... Cheika was still spectacularly true-to-type. "Yeah, well, we deserved to lose, but.... cue 15 minutes of whinging about ref calls - including some callbacks to June for fuck's sake."
Some of his points were valid - sure... but valid in a way that you discuss with another punter in a pub, not in the way that a professional international coach should be discussing in an official press conference.
He did seem to allude to some sheila asking something in the on-field interview... but was fairly low-key in the reference, so if that incident was as unclassy as you fellas are suggesting - at least he managed to deal with that well.
