Marvelous...
funny it should be called the "swan dive", because rather than having class and grace I genuinely find he looks like a chicken...especially on this pic, on the profile angle...serious !

"Bohkeeeehhhk !!!...bok bok..."

better to look like a chicken than a troll!

And I must admit, when that 35-18 happened last EOYT, and he got that famous try...I mean, great play, but the way he did it....my GOD...you talk about being "physically sick" !! He starts outrunning a few ozzies, and he puts on the most disgusting smile you've ever seen and pulls his tongue out, ohhhhh God just talking about it...*gag reflex, gastric fluids rising to throat*...ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Eh?
Think you're seeing what you're wanting to see, he was just trying to breathe after sprinting the length of the pitch.

Compared to the dances of Ioane? Ioane looks very pretty when he does silly dances.

I think the best response to an awesome try being scored was Aaron Shingler, who nearly passed out and had to be picked up and carried out of ingoal.
Poor lad was knackered.

Or Wellies, when he dived over the line, landed on the ball, and broke his ribs.

That was one of the funniest moments in rugby. Never has a man looked so slow running. He actually hauled some serious arse there. Still, only because Neilo told him to.

oh I dunno...I'd rather be a living walking **** than look like Ashton tb perfectly honest !...let alone just a troll...and to prove to you I'm not biased (!), I must say Ben Youngs is a pretty good looking fellow...there. Happy..?
enough bull for today...

 

[Big Ewis]

Flood looks great with the stache like that ! and he's playin GREAT tonight...England lookin guuuuuuud

 

[SelimNiai]

Great Aussie try, great burst of pace from the 9 made the overlap, possibly last pass went forward?

 

[Big Ewis]

That's not a try Manu, sorry, not being biased. That's not a try.

 

[Thingimubob]

Just gonna put it out there. Englands kit is just vomit. Ych a fi.

 

[SelimNiai]

They look ridiculous

Also ridiculous is the decision to give Tuilagi the try, grounded the ball short and he crawled forward with his non-ball carrying hand whilst being held in the tackle.

 

[Mooly]

I didn't think it was a try. It was contentious at best. But not a try. Grounded before the line...

Disagree - he placed it vertically at which point it wasn't touching the line, but while he still had control the ball moved to a more horizontal position with more surface area of the ball touching the line. Then he loses control and only then does phipps get his hands on it. A close one that could have gone either way but certainly not ridiculous

 

[Mooly]

Aus defence looking good, both sides failing though and giving each other space. Could go either way. To be honest, I didn't think it was going to be this close.

Still a double movement though

 

[Mooly]

I must say, Hooper is doing a fantastic job in lieu of Pocock.

And Tuilagi to his credit..
