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

[Which Tyler]

penalty reversals go in chronological order.
Quite honestly, Robshaw and Moore should both be sitting out for 10 minutes; and ref was technically correct with being an Eng penalty to restart; but one of those where the law is an arse

Don't get that lineout move. Vunipola runs a great line. Fixes the Australian defensive line. Gives England loads of space to run. And then Ford kicks it straight into the defensive line. Either let the Australian line move up and kick behind them, or fix it and run at it.

Good work England pack.

Yes boooyyyssss

Man this reff is full of ****. No way Folau could get out of that. It was a two man tackle. Tough **** for England if its slow ball.

And Farrell

Karma at work there. Australia try to lie in the maul and concede the try doing so.

Onus is always on the defender. They should have gone into the tackle differently and landed differently if they didn't want to concede the penalty.

Ermm you have to get out of the way regardless of if you're stuck or not.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Very dodgy from Ford. Great effort from Nowell to receive the kick and not lose possession despite no support.

Get yourself into that position, it's your problem to get yourself out.

This - if you don't want to get pinged for offside, don't get yourself offside.

See another one England are milking the **** out of this ref.

 

[Aristodemus]

Ford running the show so far, bodes well

Maybe you just need to learn the rules, maybe.

Alternatively, Australia keep cheating

 

[austingtir]

I couldnt really care less if he's technically correct alot of the rules in this game are simply wrong. If a player is gang tackled by more than one and one defender ends up on the bottom for me its either stop play and scrum same side gets the ball back or tough **** and dont run into gang tackles imo.

 

[TobesHodges]

Can anyone give me the reason why only the Australia side of the scrum is cutting up? What does that mean? :/

And Aus aren't and therefore are at a disadvantage. Playing the ref is part of the game, surely a kiwi would know that, it's one of many things your boys are best at.

Lol that has always been the rule regarding tackling.

Haha about sums it up. No seriously though, that's the risk you make if you double up on a player. It's a risk and you have to get out quick for the sake of a free flowing game. Otherwise it can just be done cynically if we set that precedent.

English are firmly under the Australians skins here now.
