June International Test: Australia vs. England [1st Test] (11/06/2016)

[Crapspray]

Ben Youngs not having a terrible game ATM which is a surprise.

Well now you've done it. 8ft high passes here we come.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

The penalty kicks have too much value. We need the new laws right now. England with nothing is in game again

Only if the ref actually uses the yellow card as Australia are just all sorts of illegal at the moment

 

[Tony Manx]

Cos Stralia have been as guilty as the ABs over being over expansive once too often so early in the game!

it our and Haylett Petty are the stand outs so far for each team! Loving Aus captain's discussions with Poite!!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Loving Itoje's passion.

Itoje as a player as a leader and as a team mate is head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch ATM. Even if Oz get the win, if he keeps this up he deserves MOTM.

Just relative Brown and Burrell so poor that Youngs' failings aren't showing up yet

 

[TommiG88]

Browns last summer tour?

I would bring Nowell on to 15 just after half time.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Beautiful pass from Farrell

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Imagine if Eddie sent Burrell to the Saxons.

Lovely play.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

When did the Englidh players get so yappy to the ref? That's an Irish thing that you can't take, nothing gives you that right.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Imagine if Eddie sent Burrell to the Saxons.

Lovely play.

Wouldn't be surprised if we saw Devoto called up for Burrell.

History teaches us we'll take whatever we damn like from the Irish

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Not watching the game unfortunately - did burrell come of because he's objectively terrible or because he's been terrible in this game or because of injury?

 

[TheOvalBall]

What a turn for the books.

Cheika will probably explode as usual in the dressing droom

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Gutsy comeback from Eng. Would have been very easy for that to have gone South after that start.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Maybe Ford-Faz is our best 10-12 combo for this tour

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I can't believe that England has 16 points. He doesnt deserve it. Very unfair so far

Play better, then.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Terrible by the sounds of it. ford was warming up apparently for a bit before he came on so Eddie must of wanted to make the sub.

Looked tactical: he was fine in the play prior to coming off.

Looked to be all over the place defensively -- leaving his man on the inside or outside isolated. Guilty for the disallowed Aussie try.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Just wait 700 years, we'll take 5/6ths of it back.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Not sure how England managed to get out of that half 6 points in the lead. Not looked like creating tries, despite JJ's try which was because of a woeful Folau pass to Foley.
