[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 1] England vs. Australia (19/10/2019)

[Vieux Talonneur]

Good scrum, The ball was totally playable, but we'll take it.

"Maro with his trademarked 'shreik' there" - generic commentator

 

[j-dawg]

I give more credit to Farrell and Billy for that try. Farrell for the laser flat pass and Billy for resisting the temptation to take it himself.

 

[Every Time Ref]

I think that was the commentators projecting
Replay just showed him bracing for a hit

Yeah I think it's the instinct of someone who normally carries in traffic, a back or a Curry would've just gone for the line

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

Is there not a penalty if the ball doesn't go 10 metres at the restart?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Crazy to see the difference in structure between this side and the ultra structured Cheika Leinster sides.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

When you consider that we've got at least one jammy LCD try yet to come, I think we're gonna win this.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Should've been a penalty for hooper dragging Farrell away from the ruck

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

The tucked in shirts look like ****.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Is there not a penalty if the ball doesn't go 10 metres at the restart?

If Aus claim it it's scrum, but if the opposition take it it's play on

 

[Leinster Fan]

Scrum on the Galway lije

Is there not a penalty if the ball doesn't go 10 metres at the restart?

Scrum on the halfway line, but England just played on so no need to bring it back.

 

[SomeOke]

The tucked in shirts look like ****.

I love a tuck myself.

 

[Bluemoon]

Aus attack so pedestrian. Is Laidlaw at 9?

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Genias step before passing really is not what you want vs a rush defence, cuts his options so much/sets up countless hospital passes

 

[Not Eddie Jones]

If Aus claim it it's scrum, but if the opposition take it it's play on

You learn something every day.

 

[TheOvalBall]

Australia are playing like France. Totally unstructured and hoping for the best.

 

[donmcdazzle]

Great defence from England. Pretty good attack from Aussie.

They should bring on Tupou now I reckon. Give him 25 to cause some chaos.

 

[Every Time Ref]

Should've been a penalty for hooper dragging Farrell away from the ruck

Those are neeeeeeeever given though. It's bullshit but England are no more hard done by than anyone else

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

I think garces has had higher standards for England than Australia but with this penalty count England should be looking at a card soon.

 

[Vieux Talonneur]

Aus taking the scrum. World turns on axis.

Somewhere, Andrew Sheridan's head is spinning.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Here we go again.
