[2018 November Tests] England vs Australia (24/11/18)

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Sinckler makes me hard

 

[Which Tyler]

Why are Sky commentators determined to push the fantasy that Nathan Hughes is a power player?

Because he's big, and Billy's injured

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

How can we play so well against New Zealand and so poor against Japan and Australia

If only we could bring Owen off the bench to galvanise the team and eliminate the error-count

 

[Every Time Ref]

Being overly harsh on Youngs is generally called for; but I will always hold the first line of defence more responsible for a line break, than the sweeper being wrong-footed by the line-break.
Appreciate we all look at different things though.

I'm not not blaming the first line don't worry! For me it was more structural, ie short on players due to not getting round the corner quick enough, than any individual error but would have to watch again.

Great line though, let's give him credit ... I'm drinking my second half cup of tea from a Gay Pride mug in his honour.

Wilson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Hughes

Far too easy for Cokonasiga

Mean Joe nailing himself down a starting shirt

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

DHP looked so broken in the replay. He just crumbled

 

[Rinkadink]

@Rinkadink any chance we could keep spoilers for a different match that isn't available for viewing yet, off this match thread?

How is it a spoiler? Doesn't mention the result at all, just one call during a match with clear parallels to today and it's done all the time in these threads never mind commentators during games... you telling me you don't follow your team either and don't know anything? Wouldn't be surprised. Also it is available to watch now and many would have watched it yesterday even.

Any excuse for you, eh? You make I larf. )

Mean Joe nailing himself down a starting shirt

Huzzah!

 

[Pom in Exile]

That was a bizarre attempt at a tackle by Haylett-Petty.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Getting bumped off by a player who isn't trying to bump you off is about as poor as a tackle can be

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Great try,

Impressive carry from Wilson

 

[Pom in Exile]

Thank god he hooked Youngs.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Teo really is useless

Really hope we get a look at Ford Farrell Tuilagi at some point

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

What. A. Beast.

@Rinkadink
You told us a plot point for a match that isn't available to watch yet. That is a spoiler.
Standard protocols are that a match thread is free from such spoilers. Talk about a match from last weekend all you like, but not from last night.

You claim that it is available - feel free to tell us where.
If would have been available last night had I not been working, but did do online betting. As it is, I have to wait for Premiership rugby.tv to post the match up, usually sometime on Monday.

Beyond that, proving that you're still a pray doesn't really help your case.
Mind, I suppose you still think that Bristol are Bath's biggest rivals, despite what the bulk of Bath fans think. You probably think that Wales and Scotland are England's biggest rivals on the same principle though...

Great try,

From someone who watches very little prem, he has looked Dayglo-esque this autumn.

 

[Pom in Exile]

Really liking this lad.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

So what's is England's best back 3

May has to start IMO
Cokansigna making a big case
Daly ?
Brown stability has been missed
Nowell ?
Will Watson get fit?
