How good is it to see Manu back in an England shirt...we should enjoy it whilst we can.

Daly is not a FB....please listen Jones!

Problem is it's difficult to bring in someone from outside the group now.

I would have liked Woodward to been given some international experience even if he hasn't been at his best for this season so far. A fresh environment and surrounded by quality would have paid dividends IMO.

Overall well played from England. They seemed to switch off again though towards the end of the first half and let Australia back in, but the second half they kept the intensity and showed that they have the ability. Consistency is still an issue though and we need to see some more complete performances in the 6N's.

Australia...wow they are nothing like they used to be. I think someone said this is their worst international year since 1958. Certainly not ideal going into a world cup year. Let's see if they can turn something around in the build up to the world cup, but with NZ and the Bledisloe cup to start as usual they might get their confidence knocked some more.

Faz bigging Manu up a lot there, both staying fit would be great.

Although I supported dropping Brown and I do think he has lost some pace, no one has stepped up to take his place. I thought Watson might have been, but now this close to the world cup and with him injured I think we have to go back to Brown as we know what he brings.

This ******* interviewer, well done to Hooper for keeping a diplomatic head on. He's not being sarcastic, he's being professional.

 

[Rinkadink]

Oh god this interview with Hooper.

He's done really well there, fair play to him.

 

[Which Tyler]

Daly is shite in defence.

Hence a fair few people don't want him at 13.

She's dreadful isn't she?! Possibly even worse than Sonja McWhatever from the Beeb...which is quite an achievement.

 

[NDC89]

Who does the post-match interviews for Sky should be pulled up on her questioning of players after games. Isn't the first time this autumn she has seemed to be trying to cause a controversy. Well done, Hooper.

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Ewels and Ford didn't make it on did they? Could **** with their confidence a bit, but then again they weren't needed

I thought it was Sonja, or possible Jill Douglas, who's just as bad during the 6N

His best position might be the bench tbh...I have to say that it's making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside all the love for Brown that's suddenly springing up around here. (Not that you mentioned him obviously, just in general.)

Daly is shite in defence.

Daly is not shite in defence just playing out of position.

Er yeah they both did, Ford passed to Farrell for the try.

Ford set up Farrells try after about 30 secs of being on

TBF he probably defends better at 13

Well he certainly looks shite whilst playing at FB and given he's never going to get a run at 13...it's a worry.
