    Great try. Haskell is having a great game.

    I'd go back to a minor moment which led to the whole passage for the try. After Farrell missed the kick, Chris Robshaw put in a superb chase and tackle to pin Australia under their own posts which led to them clearing their lines under pressure to only just outside their 22.

    Yeah that was exceptional.

    And also took just long enough to roll away...

    Little rat on the bench there... Fair play to Brown

    He should be reprimanded for that by World Rugby. He knew exactly what he was doing. Really classless.

    Cole has been scrummaging illegally from the start. He was perpendicular to the scrum there.

    Ball was kicked to touch and a coach tried to touch the ball to prevent the quick lineout. Brown gave him a little smash

    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.

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
