June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

I'm sorry but Australia are frankly stupid for repeatedly turning down points. If they lose which, which they shouldn't, it'll be their own fault

 

[Ka_Mate]

Australia profited last year from every other team being bad, now England have improved and they have nothing

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Watson's an idiot

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Brown is out on his feet now

Largely because they haven't picked a kicker

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Ford drove Folau back in the tackle. Wow.

 

[Bluemoon]

I suppose the big question is whether England can keep this level of defence up. They need some possession and field position and quick.

 

[Ka_Mate]

With exception of Falou, I have no words for how bad Australias backline is

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

England to get a penalty in the next three mins, game over.

Not really fair, Australia were excellent in the world cup I thought. Sure england have gone forward but Oz have gone backward

They nearly dropped the ball vs Scotland, very reliant on Pocock stealing everything, pretty one dimensional and got dominated in the final.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Haskell has once again been simply world class. His work rate has been 2nd to none. I reckon he's in fur a 2nd MOTM

They're not trying to play it as a test match. Theyre trying to play super rugby. Against other sides, it would be enough but at test level defences are obviously better. The conditions also favour a slower game. You need to take your multiples of three when you start to recognise how high the unenforced error count is. The problem with Australia today has been a mentality issue as well as the backline functioning

 

[TheOvalBall]

Tough match this, but a good watch.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

George!!!!!!

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Lawes, george, farrell!!!!

 

[AzaMatt]

Jamie George had more vision then than Australia have had all game lol

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

George pull back there?

Was as always going to happen, Aus played so stupidly.

 

[Ka_Mate]

Worst man of the match goes to Fardy

 

[Aristodemus]

Soooo good
