England vs Australia - 09/11/24

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Suaalii is going to be wasted in this Aussie set up. F1 car in a rally.

He's taking it scarily well

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Suaalii is my new favoirite player. That's filthy.

 

[Reiser99]

Great offload, but poor defence. Was thinking England's defence has been good in general.

 

[Which Tyler]

Furbank needed to trust his inside man there.
Still a likely try, and very well made, but still

 

[Grizwald]

For being some sort of defencive linch pin Slade jumps out the line more than anyone else.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

He's taking it scarily well

Looks like he has all the time in the world at 13 which makes no sense in modern international rugby, let alone having only played 28 minutes of it.

 

[Reiser99]

Firbank needed to trust his inside man there.
Still a likely try, and very well made, but still

Slade rushing up and Furbank not trusting the inside man.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Aus have always had backs I have loved watching Genia, Beale, JOC, Gits, Cooper but recently they have had no one feels like they have finally got someone again

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Guessing IFW has failed his HIA if he's putting his coat back on?

Yeah, if Aus ever get a good pack and a back line to see around him their attack could be lethal.

Has to wait 10mins?

 

[Reiser99]

I can't.
If you drop the ball, then it's a knock on, not then scored with the body.

I'm sure I've seen this year players drop the ball, but it not touch the ground and then their body pushes it into the ground and it's bee given as a try. I think it's to address that, but seems like an extreme option.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Ah, didn't realise they had to wait the whole time even for a pass

 

[Which Tyler]

O'Keefe wanting to give Spencer a bollocking there for the "Sir!" But thinking better of it

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Hand has to be touching when it's grounded.

Since when, upper part of body is acceptable ground contact.

And he always had one hand on ball.

 

[Reiser99]

Slade rushing up again. Surely that has to be a tactic if he's doing it consistently.

 

[Which Tyler]

If you have seen it, it would be a ref's mistake.
Once you've knocked the ball forwards, you have to actively regather it before it hits the ground (or anyone else), not just fall on it.

I guess if you knocked the ball backwards, then it's still live to ground it with your torso, but... so what? If it's knocked backwards the ball should be still live!

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That leap was insane

NRL athletes are on a different level to Aussie union

 

[TommiG88]

Our defense is so bad

 

[Not Mike Brown's Sock]

Ref ran a great dummy line for the Aussies there. Terrible positioning from him
