Unless Australia sub on Steve Smith I think on that showing England may well march on. Flattered a bit by a breakaway try and England have butchered a couple of opportunities- well tbf Australia defended well. Surprised that the England scrum is giving penalties. And I thought that the tackle on Billy vunipola that lead to the passage just before half time could have been penalised for driving the legs up through horizontal. Cost England position and they ultimately coughed up 3 pts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Good little passage for England. Played much better since that very good Australia try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Henry slade has had a mixed ga6. Brilliant for the 2nd try but I've counted 4 big errors and hes now given the penalty away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anag Ram Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Well that was fun! England have so many attacking options. Wish our football team had that much commitment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Can't expect to score a try after 2 forward passes. Great result, England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was worried to see Garces in charge but in fairness he was nigh on faultless today. The TMO, however, needs a visit to Specsavers. Embarrassing.

Comrade 86 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Wow. Blood pressure slowly returning to normal. Just shows how good a side we can be when key players are fit and available. A dominant win in a game I really thought would be tight. Proud Englishman today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Looks like the all blacks have a new Dan Carter. Can't give pens away in your own half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 Haven't seen much of all blacks recently. They don't appear to have too much flair but still do absolutely all the simple things relentlessly well. Looking tough for Ireland now at 15-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted October 19, 2019 Author Share Posted October 19, 2019 I fear for England - we give too many penalties and errors. The all blacks are probably going to grind us down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The all blacks are probably going to grind us down. Well they are the tournament favourites but in fairness, we conceded 8 pens in our game and the kiwis have given up 6 in the first half alone. The errors I suppose is valid but with two players back after breaks and the team probably a little undercooked after a fortnight on the sidelines, there's every reason to expect them to improve again next week. A far weaker England team lost by a single point to the Kiwis when they last met and the ABs will be far more wary of us than a very toothless Ireland.

Comrade 86 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Ireland simply haven't turned up today. Error ridden and not really looking up for this at all. Gotta be prepared to put it all on the line and I'm not seeing any evidence that they are. Shame for the travelling fans who have been great despite being given nothing to cheer at all.

Next week is going to be tough but they still have a bad game in them. Okay I’m clutching at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
