EOYT: England v Australia, 17/11/2012

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Still a double movement though

where!? The ball tilted while in his control without any body movement from him, since he didn't have much control of the ball in the first instance. If there was a double movement any time after that the try was 'scored' then it doesnt matter.

Anyway, we're really missing Corbisiero...

Shock of the century: Marler is a crap scrummager.

Still a double movement though

Double movement doesn't exist in union - it's only a league thing. In union, you're allowed to hit the floor and have another go as long as it's "immediate".

To get to the line, as when he was tackled he was about 3 or 4 meters short he pushed off and forwards twice with his non ball carrying hand, so he'd never have got to the line in the first place without it

Yes you can reach and place within 1 movement but Tuilagi didn't do that he crawled whilst being held. Which is not allowed

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Impressed by Tapuai so far for Oz.

 

[Big Ewis]

Barnes is the man.

 

[Mooly]

Barnes is the man.

You'd be surprise how much spite he gets in Aus. I've always rated him, perhaps not so much as a 10 but as a 15 certainly

 

[Big Ewis]

^ yeah yeah I know...ppl are very quick with hating, it's not just an Aussie sports thing

If they count this one as a try, then I'm growing a vagina for the next few mths...yeah, wtf, why not.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Waldrom how shite are you. Regardless of the eventual result I'd have to say that we're very far from where we want to be as a team. Disappointing

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Poite has literally no conception of whats 'forward' and whats 'back'

 

[jcahill1]

England crowd booing is disgraceful.

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

England crowd booing is disgraceful.

Yep because english crowds are defnitely the only ones that boo at alll....

Mike Brown is utter shite and ruined that opportunity single-handedly

 

[lucky number 7]

Robshaw making very **** descisions

 

[04perryo]

So im assuming from these posts that England arnt playing well

 

[Mooly]

How good is Hooper!

 

[nush]

cummins not bad either

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Hooper as good as the rest of the year, plus great (and surprising at least from here) performances by Cummins and Tapuai, plus Barnes, Palu and Alexander putting their hands up. Then, the Wallabies only needed for Phipps not to screw up too much there's the game.

 

[Big Ewis]

so much for the Aussie scrum being **** and the mighty English scrum then...thought for sure I'd see a penalty try there.
That's the happiest I've ever seen the Wallabies after defeating England though...

But England showed a lot of very solid aspects today, they looked very dangerous more or less consistently...

Side note: srsly though, the score doesn't tell the story even. Tuilagi's play wasn't a try, plain n simple...nothing against England or yadi yadaaaa blah blah - just ain't a try, simple as that.

 

[SelimNiai]

Oh great, the Rugby world celebrates 'cos Pocock is injured and you lot go and bring out Hooper. Just brilliant.

 

[petite]

that´s it!! good win australia. Eng lost it on their own, with so many errors. they weren´t outplayed.

 

[Teh Mite]

Well, oz were ok-ish, England weren't. Better team won.

I'm off for beer, whiskey and to give er one.
