<p>Should have taken the points. English defense is immense.</p>

<p>That's 2 penalty kicks they've turned down now.</p> -
<p>The channel 10 commentators never mention the English players by name. Very hard for a neutral like me to remember/recall who is doing what. English hooker impressing me in general play/defending.</p>

<p>How crap is Nick Phipps? Surely the Aussies must have a better scrummie?</p>

<p>Whaddaya mean? He struts, talks back, starts fights then hides behind the fatties. Classic Aussie halfback!</p> -
151-46 tackle count?!!

Amazing defence but some seriously average attack here.

<p>Oh its Hartley? Been good so far methinks. Didn't see him bite anyone either.</p> -
<p>Straya not looking sharp</p>

Crazy 2nd 40. England just hanging on for dear life with body on the line defense. Aus refusing to take the points, they almost became obsessed with scoring the try when multiples of 3 would have sufficed. The stats are insanely one sided in Aus favour except for where it counts.

<p>So...the world's best coach*, has just lost the first ever series at home to England in history. So much possession...only 7 points.<br><br>
I think England can lay rightful claim to being the world's 2nd best side, and I suspect the world rankings will soon reflect that. NZ has a definite new arch-rival.<br><br>

<p>Aussies a team of individuals and deserving losers</p>

<p>Well done England</p>
