That's the game, surely.

<p>I fucking hate that law.</p>

Besides the fact Hooper already had it for not releasing, and their hb was over the ball, and therefore it's a ruck, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK??? -

I'm happy to kick that can down the road. If Eddie can deliver a big Autumn series and a second 6N (by no means a given), a big group of battle hardened English will get to test themselves in NZ with the Lions. Then, but not before, England should be ready to take on the ABs. -
<p>First to put my hand up, never saw that coming.</p>

<p>Fantastic match. Fantastic series win.</p>

<p>Arise Sir Eddie Jones.</p> -

Of all Eddie's ploys, making Hartley the skipper has been arguably the most inspired. England's best skipper since Johnson.
-
Foley missed one touch finder for a penalty, and about three in general play from the 22. Toomua missed 1 from general play.<br><br>
That is a basic failing of our playmakers and needs addressing before the next Test.<br><br>
Moore needs to chill the fuck out as a captain a bit more. Not going to get far with that attitude. <br><br>
That call at the end was the difference between two score margin and us having a lineout at the other end and a chance to win it. Nigel bottled that one when Hooper was all over the ball, on his feet. Wonder what Rolland will say about that, after criticising Joubert during the week?<br><br>
But superior discipline and composure from England across the series made them deserved winners, at least in the first two games. <br><br>
Can't say we didn't have our chances, at least in Brisbane and Sydney. We just weren't smart, or disciplined enough.<br><br>
Well done England. Too early to give Eddie the knighthood yet, but maybe if there is a second grand slam
-
Very well spoken Dylan Hartley. Ignored the fishing for headlines expedition by the interviewer "Tell us about your goal to be number 1".<br>If he answers that question seriously it just gives motivation to the ABs for future games.<br><br>England are welcome to have whatever goals they like behind closed doors. And for the health of world rugby they should be targetting to be number one<br>in the world. You just don't want to get into that right after the game.

<p>No problema - Aussie genius edged by an Aussie genius.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Though if we want to avoid rumblings from the north that our crown has been snatched, we're going to have to do the Aussies 2-0 in the Championship - and if that happens Chieka will have started the season 0-5.</p> -

Provided they remember to clear the flipcharts when they leave the room.
