    What did he do? I missed a couple of mins earlier.

    Coach moved under the dropping ball to put a hand on it and ensure, as another individual had touched it, England couldn't take a quick throw.

    Should be pulled up on it and warned.

    He, like every person from the Southern Hemisphere, have been well and truly shown up and they should all hang their heads in shame. Probably should consider packing the entire thing in down there.

    Then pull up the fella who called him 'a little bollix' a few posts up from me too so

    (fwiw I don't think that rule should apply to Brown, Hartley and Delon Armitage :pac:)


    Do not backseat mod. You got an on-thread warning, not an infraction. Get over it.

    Another missed tackle from Browne. Goode has to get a look in for the next test unless there's an injury I'm unaware of. After the season he has had he needs to be in the team anyway.

    I would be interested to hear English "I hate Goode he is Rubbish" Lurker's opinion on that

    Why have Australia not subbed Sio?

    He can't post. He's driving and trying to deal with everyone else on the wrong side of the road.

    English pack in good spirits by the sounds of things


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Game over now anyway. England's superior physicality coming to the fore now.
    The disallowed try for obstruction which was seriously debatable IMO was the turning point in the game.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan


    Super Hooper as captain now, comeback is on


  • Administrators Posts: 54,256 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    That was class from Hooper. Winger-esque :pac:

    If a team loses a game based on a debatable refereeing decision that early in the game (which I think was the right decision btw) then they don't deserve to win it at all. England have been stronger, smarter and more accurate.

    Great try there, but from the touchline I can't see Foley getting the kick. His inaccuracies off the tee have been costly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,847 ✭✭✭✭bilston


    Lovely pass from Foley in the lead up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,012 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Great try, Hooper's got wheels


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,319 ✭✭✭Al_Coholic


    That's a super try especially down a man


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,978 ✭✭✭✭irishbucsfan

    Called it

    If this is the Sarries defensive system that Farrell will be adding the Irish game then je suis tres excitement

    Sarcasm?


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Australian line-outs have been really poor but there's been very little in the way of a gap as well.

    Game over if they convert this.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Crucial turnover from Haskell. MOTM for me.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    That should be the game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭former total


    Kuridrani butchered that.


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Talk of Kuidrani making a mistake is off I think. They couldn't go wide as the need the conversion and Foley needs the try in closer to the posts to get them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,616 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    This new winger has been doing clever stuff


  • Administrators Posts: 54,256 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭awec


    Whenever Australia get moving England can't live with them. If only they could improve their discipline.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,319 ✭✭✭Al_Coholic


    Thoroughly enjoyable game

    Haskell def MOTM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Haskell brilliant
    Himself and Itoje candidates for MotM

    Been cracking game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭swiwi_


    So far the 2 games have been brill. Haskell really good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,150 ✭✭✭✭LuckyGent88


    Strange decision. Very brave


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    I think that is a bad call

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,012 ✭✭✭leakyboots


    Massive call


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,767 ✭✭✭✭molloyjh


    Huge call. They need to secure the restart now. Less than 2 mins to go.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,478 ✭✭✭✭dastardly00


    Whaaaa.....??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,526 ✭✭✭✭fullstop


    Strange decision. Very brave

    Stupid more than brave. It's just wasted another minute.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Ballsy going for 3


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭swiwi_


    That is a ballsy call.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,536 ✭✭✭former total


    Brave call. Cheiks not impressed


  • Registered Users Posts: 24,258 ✭✭✭✭Buer


    Bad call.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭swiwi_


    England racing to take the kickoff...

    Still fancy Australia will win this.
    So do I

    Interestingly at half time the bookies had Wales at 3/1 but England are odds on to win this one. They obviously have no idea but I wonder what they think makes such a big difference
    Called it

    Eh.....

    Jones starting Farrell proving to be the right call. Australia missed 7 points from the tee, England are 100% from the tee.

    I think England have this. They've reacted well to a poor start.

    Called it. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,463 ✭✭✭Kiwi_knock


    That is great play by England, well deserved victory.

    I was referring to Super Hooper's impact!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,071 ✭✭✭✭wp_rathead


    Nice try
    Who would have thought this after opening 10 minutes


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,319 ✭✭✭Al_Coholic


    A host of monumental mess ups from Australia all game


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,525 ✭✭✭kilns


    Sky will be hard to listen to now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,166 ✭✭✭✭Zzippy


    What a game!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,504 ✭✭✭swiwi_


    Best English side since the heights of the Woodward era. Fair plsy for going for a try and not the one off the ruck clock countdown.

    Test 2 should be a hum dinger

    I think if Australia sort out their discipline they'll still win this series. IMO they played better rugby today, they just need to sort out their work at the breakdown and tweak the scrum.
