Don't know what was more embarrassing - Tomkins schoolboy error or Clarkes defence of it. Joke.

Got away with that one - we'd be going mental if that went against us.

We are on the ropes, but still hanging in there massive improvements are needed.

When ENGLAND are pressured they seem bad....



......Nerves are killing them, combined with the fact that they are simply not good enough to compete at this level....Only chance for England is if the Aussies get complacent.

Sam Tomkins with the high bomb again. Need to get some good field position.

Massive let off.

Cecchin is killing us with the slow play of the ball.

We are really hanging on here, need a try badly

All this defence is killing England.....Last 20 minutes could be painful to watch as an England fan.

He dropped it. Fuck.

Penalty try...Thurston off....Surely?

Red card all day long.

Thurston you dirty ****

Has to be a penalty try

Hmm.

Penalty try ... correct decision.

What about Thurston!

How has Thurston got away with that?

Penalty try. Isn't that a sin-bin?

Weird decision IMO.

Do referees carry red cards anymore???....

Williams and Thurston with high tackles.

Hate to do this, but I agree.

But they play for Australia so that makes it alright

Glad to see the game isn't out of our reach. But surely Thurston should have been given at least 10 minutes for that tackle.

Enough time for him to be sat on the sidelines instead of kicking the Aussies ahead.

English fans bleating about the officials, yet they have kept us in the game so far. Poor decisions have evened up IMO.

We have no right to be complaining about the refereeing given the terrible/bent Ian Smith decision disallowing Australia's 2nd try, JJB's knock-on given as a penalty giving us position for our try, and a Tomkins knock-on under another bomb ruled as a Boyd knock-on under our posts.
