June International Test: Australia vs. England [3rd Test] (25/06/2016)

[TRF_Olyy]

The whole build up to that try was mental - I was convinced there was about 100 knockons from both sides!

Then JG with the jammiest try you'll see this week :lol:

 

[Aristodemus]

That pass by Ford!

 

[GoTheNaki]

Now England are leading?!

 

[Crapspray]

Ford having a good game tonight. Running, passing, kicking, restarts all very impressive.

 

[Which Tyler]

That pass by Ford!

Which one?

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

George is a hell of a impact player

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Who's captaining atm, with Hartley and Robshaw off? Farrell?

 

[Aotearoa_]

Aussies have had no composure this whole series, some of heir handling errors are just school boy, All Blacks first rule of thumb is: Get the basics right. Time to go back to School Cheika, embarrassing stuff mate.

Think so. He did in Paris when Hartley was concussed.

Only Brown and Binny as the other choices.

 

[Aristodemus]

Which one?

To Nowell off the left hand, beauty. Played very well tonight.

Agree. For all the benefits of the super rugby 'fling it around culture' (and there are huge huge benefits as we can see with the SH skill level) I've just felt that when it comes down to tight moments in test matches Australia haven't been able to change the mentality, tighten it up, and stop flinging it without looking. The desire to keep the ball alive has at times been their undoing.

 

[GoTheNaki]

When does NZ play England again..?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

When does NZ play England again..?

Not until 2017

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Brown continues to be poor. Daly?

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

JJ with a little dump tackle on Naiyaravoro

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Billy's off. Is Daly at 8?

 

[GoTheNaki]

Not until 2017

November? Gives us another Super Rugby season, and two Rugby Championships to sort back-line. I'm not "worried" as such, I just want us to figure it out. England are worse to lose to than the Aussies tbfh.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

They'll probably put Farrell at 6 in a scrum

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Pack ATM:
1. Mullan
2. George
3. Cole
4. Launch
5. Lawes
6. Itoje
7. Farrell
8. Clifford

Nearly as odd as the AB back line earlier

 

[Groundhog]

Shocking call from Nigel I'm sorry. You can't touch the scrum half, but he moved into the ruck.
