    Why dont teams Take their 3 points

    The logic is to try and take maximum points while in the opposition 22.

    Can't believe Australia haven't changed the half backs. No direction at all.

    Can I ask why Australia didn't kick some of their penalties for three points? They seem to be making panicky decisions

    The Cheika look of disbelief never gets old. I must say, I've witnessed it plenty of times watching highlights of the RWC final.

    It's bizarre. They've turned down two very kickable penos in a 6 point ball game

    Think they want to win the series - think goes on aggregate and England won 1st leg by 13
    Stupid though they should have gone for their penalties

    This game is so frustrating!

    Australian ignoring the posts.

    A lot of Joubert's decisions are correct but he utterly bottled carding Haskell in the first half for the classic Haskell cynical penalty in the red zone.

    Australia are their own worst enemy's though, it's like Ali "we don't kick DG" Williams for NZ in 2007.

    Phipps and Foley have cost them this match. Phipps with his awful passing and Foley is providing no direction in attack.

    Australia might get a jammy try out of nothing. They'd deserve it too.

    England will probably pick up a try or something.

    Barnes is getting wearisome though.

    English kids will no longer learn about Waterloo but rather England's famous last stand at Melbourne...

    Think that's the first time he's ever played above average two games in a row.

    That said, he's lucky not to have picked up a yellow.

    Oz deserved that. Brutal handling all game long. Harrisson and Barnes' smugness might suffocate the viewers.
