froggg Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 England beat the Wallabies for only the fourth time in Australia as they triumphed in a mighty battle in the first Test in Brisbane. The win looked unlikely when they fell 10-0 behind early on as Michael Hooper and Israel Folau scored for the hosts. But the tourists hit back through the boot of Owen Farrell and tries from Jonathan Joseph and Marland Yarde. Australia rallied as Hooper and Tevita Kuridrani crossed, but Jack Nowell had the final word for England. Wallaby width shreds England The hosts started in spectacular fashion, looking to spread the ball wide and outflank England's defence, and they opened the scoring as lively open-side flanker Hooper scooted over after the long-striding Folau had made the initial break. The 6ft 5in full-back was a menace with ball in hand and when he sliced through off the drifting Bernard Foley, Australia had a 10-point lead after only quarter of an hour. If the wayward Foley had managed to land his shots at goal - the fly-half's goal-kicking was some way below the standard of the rest of his game - the hosts might have been out of sight. But they were not and when England finally got themselves into the match, the momentum changed for good. Farrell puts the boot in The visitors began to monopolise possession and Farrell was given the chance to cut the home lead to a single point with three penalties. If that had seemed unlikely in the opening stages, worse was to come for the hosts as poor play in their own 22 enabled England centre Joseph to kick ahead and score a converted try. A penalty apiece made it 19-13 to England at the break, and after the restart the visitors took total control. Haskell's rampaging break split Australia asunder and gave George Ford - on at fly-half, with Farrell moving to inside centre in place of Luther Burrell - the opportunity to send Yarde over with a raking pass. Bodyline version 2.0 Before the match England coach Eddie Jones had promised 'Bodyline' rugby, and the relentless power of the visitors' pack, with Haskell and the Vunipola brothers, Mako and Billy, stepping up alongside Itoje, forced Australia further onto the back foot. England's front row had also started shoving the Wallabies back at will in the scrum and when they had Scott Sio sin-binned, and Farrell extended England's lead to 16 points, it looked like game over. But you can never discount an Australia side in any sport and, down to 14 men and apparently mortally wounded, they decided to attack at will. Hooper scored his second try to give them hope before Kuridrani blasted over to cut England's lead to only seven points. But England were in ruthless mood and, after Danny Care tapped a late penalty, Ford's delightful kick set up Nowell to finish the game in style.

Animal is a Ram Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Eddie Jones for Prime Minister. Nothing quite like stuffing the Aussies in their own backyard, let alone 3 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag zig Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Must have been some performance 2nd half today against the Aussies? Looking forward to the highlights. What a turnaround since the World Cup, 14 in a row now. Outstanding really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Should be a good 6 nations next year. England should walk it, but Ireland away will be tough, and France surprised me against NZ last week, so they might turn up at Twickenham. A fit first 15 lions team could have a chance down under as well, even though the schedule is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Ram Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Going to be a tough ask to win in Dublin and Cardiff but feeling confident.. Good players to come back in as well, especially in the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StockholmRam Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Watson out now. Our injuries are stacking up. I'm not as confidant as some. I've a feeling there may be a few surprises this tournament... Starting with France and Scotland on Sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
