[November Tests 2017 EOYT] England vs. Australia (18/11/2017)

[Ragey Erasmus]

Well the one thing you can say is consistently true for England, we nearly always win the last 10.

Also we are such good sports we decided not to score tries when they were down to 13 as that wouldn't be fair, we waited until they had 15 again.

May always gets me hard.

Please keep politics chat to the politics thread

We're the new All Blacks

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Say what you like about it being flattering to this England team we play the full 80 minuites.

Yep. Took a while for the sin bins to catch up but we got there.

Still concerned about the lack of line breaking carriers, especially behind.

Was that a cameo from Care or is he playing better?

 

[Spuds100]

I think the Wallabies are going to just nab this game.

Nailed it.

 

[ncurd]

I think Australia just gave up after the Moore block. It got into their heads.

Cameo. He also caused one charge down which nearly led to an Aus try by taking the ball out of the ruck, spinning round in a circle and throwing a two hands pass to Farrell or Ford. Great player to come on at the end but still frequently a total donk.

So we have The All Blacks, The New All Blacks and The European All Blacks as the World's best three teams? Christ.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

May on 11 tries in 10 games this season.

Pfft. It is a lot easier to play 80 minutes when you are ahead AND the rub goes your way.

I haven't watched the game yet but it certainly seems like England won fair'n'square but the key moments went their way. Seems to be a similar story to last week.

Could've been 12. Looks like he's pulled up. Hopefully isn't too bad.

Explain apart from the marginal decision whether the ball entered touch or not where we got the rub of the green other than correct decisions being made.

I haven't watched the game yet

Oh wait you've not seen the game but England got the rub how did you obtain omniscience?

 

[Nudger]

Australia are playing the sin bin time well

Could've been 12. Looks like he's pulled up. Hopefully isn't too bad.

Shame I wondered why they fought him

 

[mustardcharlie]

England put in a solid, if not spectacular, performance. We need to be ruthless in the last 10 minutes, whether it be defence or attack and today we were. Excellent. Far too many mistakes though. They have got to learn to catch better than 12 yo girls though and they still give away too many penalties.

 

[Hmmmmmm]

We're the new All Blacks

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself there.

 

[Spuds100]

Wow, Cheika angry during the post match interview lol. Bad questions though.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself there.

When's the last time England drew 3-3 with Scotland at half time?
The last time the All Blacks played Australia they lost.

We are, quite clearly, the best rugby side to have ever walked this fine earth.

With your tongue planted very firmly in your cheek

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Care could have made a serious case for starting over Youngs. Much faster play and was directly involved in the 3 tries in 10 minutes.

 

[Spuds100]

Ohh nooo, Cheika insulted a female journalist, how ever will she cope??????? Someone call the UN!!!!! oh nooooesss.
