Advantage? Really?

International rules. This game is a joke at times. Uate's been rescued.

Ridiculous rule

For once, listen to the Sky team for an accurate explanation. Correct decision.

Game over.

No sound on my stream

The most frustrating thing is our big game players have had shockers. Tomkins has probably put in his worst performance all season for club and country. Ellis has been poor. Sinfield poor. Even Roby hasn't been up to his usual standards. Very disappointing all round.

Game over.

Clarke actually redeemed himself for the bile he was spouting in the first half, with a sly reference to Sir Ian Smith MBE.

Dave,

It was Carney who said it.

Good night Vienna.
Australia doing what they do best, England stumbling from woeful to poor. We've got two years to get it right but do we have the players to do it?

there hasn't been a backs move from england in this game, played to much one up rugby no change up what the aussies are great at

Ok, I give up, just where are Tompkins, Briscoe and Yeaman???

Looking for Sinfield.

This has to be Tompkins worst match ever! Yeaman and Briscoe are asleep!

Was it? My mistake

Ridiculous? If Ellis caught it, that was a try. Fair call.

That's just it, Sinfield is the only player in the England team who can give direction and a purpose, everything revolves around him. Unfortunately that makes it so easy to defend against, whereas Australia have possibly 4 pivots on the field with Lockyer, Thurston, Smith and Cronk guiding the team. We need at least another player with a kicking game who can guide the team around the field.

and whilst this is a very good Aussie team, we have faced much better historically and had we played to our potential surely this would have been closer.

I think Yeaman's made some decent tackles in defence, he's not International quality but to question him over players like Chase. Wilkin is an idiot with the ball at times too, instead of sending it out wide he always cuts inside.

Has anyone thrown to Hall since the Try?

Why can't Macnamara pick a team/players that can play? Rangi = useless, Briscoe = missing, Yeaman = asleep, Morley = one or two good plays but nothing else! Sinnys kicks not doing what they should...
Woeful, just woeful...

Where has expansive Rugby like that move there been hiding in this half?

Wilkin cutting inside...AGAIN!

Indeed. Sheens has got his tactics absolutely spot on, as much as it pains me to say it. Restricted us big style (that is if we ever had any illusions of passing the ball about a bit).

Unfortunately we struggle in the backs for quality, as was said before the tournament. I was flamed for daring to suggest Briscoe wasn't as good as people claim he is at the start of the season, and this performance has summed his talents up. Same goes for Yeaman. Although, I cannot see any English players coming through that can live with the Australian backs. Sheer class, a threat every time they get the ball.

Lets play up the middle ..........


NO!!!! it doesn't bloody work!!
