England to whitewash Australia
-
Folau kicks badly and out on the full. Engkand win lineout and make headway with Itoje. <br><br>
Aus interfere at breakdown and another penalty in front of posts. <br><br>
They need to be careful of regular infringing with Poite. <br><br>
Hartley has words with Poite. -
Farrell's kicks makes it 10-6 after 28 minutes.
-
Rob Horne has concussion after Hartley tackle and replaced. <br><br>
And straight from the next play, Bernard Foley weaves through defence and gallops to the line. <br><br>
England claiming obstruction. TMO looks. -
Good decision by TMO. Arnold made contact with the would be tackler and Foley took that gap.
-
TMO upholds and try disallowed.
-
Good to see Brown is still a dickhead.
-
England attack from their lineout. <br><br>
Another penalty against Oz. <br><br>
Poite warns Moore. <br><br>
Farrell to kick from left of posts. Crowd not happy. <br><br>
Deadeye. <br><br>
10-9 on 30 minutes. -
Bloody hell!<br><br>
England got pepper spray. -
England beginning to boss it more. <br><br>
And Austealia fumbling. <br><br>
And England pounce and Joseph scores. -
Folau throws terrible pass and as it rolls on ground Joseph kicks through, collects and touches down. <br><br>
Farrell converts. <br><br>
10-16 after 33. <br><br>
What a turnaround. -
And the most unpopular player in the stadium completely fumbles a simple catch and the crowd roars as Oz get to put in.
-
Itoje beginning to enjoy himself in this game.
-
Oz win a penalty at the scrum. <br><br>
And another stoush. Poite clucks mother hen fashion. <br><br>
Foley lines it up. Slightly to left of posts. <br><br>
And it's over.<br><br>
13-16. 37 minutes. -
England attack brilliantly ball spins out the line to Yarde who has some space. And is tackled. Disappointing.

<p>Good tackle by the debutante DHP</p> -
<p>Farrell on song tonight 19-13 England at HT</p>
-
Scrum to Oz as halftime approaches. <br><br>
And England win a penalty in kickable range. <br><br>
Farrell steadies himself and that's 5/5. <br><br>
England go in the break 19-13 -
Australian indiscipline costing them dearly. <br><br>
2 tries to 1 and they're still behind on the scoreboard. -
<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>
-
<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> -
Smart scrummaging by Cole - shoulder in and down, hold back post-engage, and let Sio over extend
-
Great cohesion by the Pommy forwards and some utter shit by our blokes up front.
-
Haskell ripping it up. Looks fit, focused
-
We're too lateral. Need to start switching inside off Foley
-
Cole does it again. Just folding in. Next one will be a penalty
-
Lol sucker punched! Expecting Cole to drop, they change momentum.

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
-
Farrell nails it again. 8/9 tonight I think
-
England showing the advantage of an 85% goal kicker.
-
Great tackle by Haskell. <br><br>
Oz score anyway. <br><br>
25-32 with ten to go. -

And a fuck load of kickable penalties. -
England getting away with a lot at ruck time, really slowing the Wallaby ball down.
-
Weird decision. They'll only have 2 minutes to score 4.
-
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.
-
And it turns out to be the wrong decision. Going 80m in 2 minutes is highly unlikely.
-
Deflated crowd here. Weird game but well done England.
-
Top drawer kicking from Farrell.

<p><span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif;font-size:13px;">Eddie has achieved that extraordinary shift in attitude and application in just eight months – well done to him.</span></p>
