There was an interesting article on Toomua's heritage and why he is now To'omua the other day, I'll try and dig it out

Slade or possibly Ford could go to 15 with Daly moving out to the wing. Not an ideal scenario, but would hopefully be able to tide us through a half of rugby if needed.

I've said before. .Eddie sees a back as a back...the number is irrelevant Slade, daly, etc can cover all the positions

Hell I woudlnt be surprised to see May at fb.

Well we've seen him in the back row, so who knows.

Let's just thank our lucky stars that the terminology for Stand-Off doesn't ever have a 'Front' in it or we'd see Farrell having a right ding-dong with a couple of props.

Shame about pocock. Though he was down for 8 he'd still be the biggest threat to our possession and it would have been good to test underhill et al.

Did I read somewhere that the Aussies had asked World Rugby to see what they could do to give more protection to Pocock as he was getting injured through too many collisions when trying to snaffle the ball.

What the hell do they expect everyone to do when he is standing over the ball, trying to turn it over, politely say "Well, see here old chap, that's our ball and we would rather hang on to it. Do you mind letting go so we can recycle it?". If he wants to put himself in that position, he has to expect collisions with incoming forwards.

BBC wrote:A similar injury kept Pocock out of Australia's win over South Africa in Brisbane in September and he aggravated the problem in the victory over Italy last weekend.

Cheika revealed on Thursday that he had submitted evidence to World Rugby, hoping to get more protection for Pocock at the breakdown.

"The guy is getting a lot of knocks in that area," Cheika told BBC Sport on Thursday.

"So the choice is either don't put your head in there, or keep putting your head in there and just wear it. But we will look after him."

Seems odd. What Cheika has told BBC Sport (don't do it or just wear it) is at odds with asking for World Rugby to do something to help. "Submitted evidence?" Evidence of wrongdoing? Or just evidence of his injuries?

With all the protocol around the head, the breakdown is one area where more work could possibly be done. However, if you are going to say that players aren't allowed to put their head below their hips for example, you're going to remove the jackal from the game entirely.

Saw some stats for this game, lifted from a newspaper.
Interesting that over the 109 years from the first fixture, 26 of those 50 games have been in the last 18 years. Pretty much sums up what is wrong with the Test game and the desperation for income and viewing interest needed by most Unions.

Tomorrow is the 50th game between England and Australia. The series dates back 109yrs to, coincidentally, 1909 at London, Blackheath, with Australia winning 9-3. There then followed games at Twickenham in 1928, 1948 and 1958, before England finally got round to visiting Australia in 1963.

It took 79yrs - until 1988 - to complete the first 16 matches of the rivalry. On Saturday, the teams will contest the 26th game since 2000 - which means more than half of the contests have taken place in 18yrs.

Of the first 49 games, after the very first game in London, another 26 have been played in the capital at Twickenham - where the record stands, P26 - ENG 15 (58%) - AUS 10 (38%) - DRAW 1 (4%).

Sydney has hosted the second most matches - 11 at 5 different venues. Then comes Brisbane with 5 matches at 2 venues, Melbourne 3 matches at 2, and Perth 1 game.

In Australia the record stands, P20 - AUS 14 (70%) - ENG 6 (30%). It took England nearly 100yrs, and 11 attempts, to get a first win on Australian soil, when they won in Melbourne in 2003. A feat they repeated only a few months later in Sydney at the RWC final. Since then there have been 8 games in Australia, with each nation winning 4.

Whenever they have played each other on neutral territory, in the RWC in 1995 in Cape Town, and 2007 in Marseille, England have won narrowly.

The overall record as it now stands is approaching parity, which is good news for England as they have never held the initiative in the fixture’s history.

P49 (1909 to 2017)
ENG 23 (47%)
AUS 25 (51%)
DRAW 1 (1%)
Points scored - ENG 847 - 1042 AUS
Average score ENG 17 - 21 AUS

'Australia coach Michael Cheika says Kurtley Beale and Adam Ashley-Cooper were guilty of "a small error of judgement" after they reportedly invited three women to their hotel after defeat by Wales a fortnight ago.'


(it is believed the women were Ashley-Cooper's sister-in-law and some friends)

Very weak Australian side on paper which badly misses Pocock, and Jones (at last!) has picked an excellent, well-balanced side that also carries great impact from the bench.

So, on paper, it should be comfortable for England, especially with home advantage. Consider, also, England's formidable recent record against the Aussies: five wins out of the last five (three of those in Australia), or seven wins out of eight, or nine wins out of eleven.

The only real concern, from an English perspective, is how up and down England have been during the autumn. Exquisite against New Zealand and decent in the second half against South Africa, but downright diabolical against Japan and for the first half against the Saffers.

No matter. England by 15.

At the falcons game tonight...and whilst both teams were gash, I got the feeling Zach Mercer still has a little bit to go. The game was crying out for someone to really take the game by the scruff of the neck...and someone like Zach should be looking to do that...but he just kind of stuck out on the wing...until the last ten mins or so.
Edit
Yet many of my falcons fellow fans seem to think he was the best player on the pitch by a country mile...interesting.

All sounds very 'Parisse'.

To be fair watching him at U20 level he had a huge impact, not just in what he actually did but also in the way he talked to and organised the players around him. I think he's going to be a terrific player but also think this RWC is too soon.

Almost an utter farce as that try was nearly given. Stuart Barnes, resident moron, 'a good thing the TMO isn't used' having to backtrack seconds later.

England's scrum dominant. Memories of '05 and '07.

We have the dominance but not the rugby inteligence to exploit it.
Therefore unsurprisingly Ozy score as we go soft.
Luckily a forward pass.
10 and 15 arnt giving us enough.

All a total nonsense. Saw the touch judge in the Quins game yesterday with a rainbow flag. Doh

Good try from Folau. Farrell misses another tackle.

How on earth has Farrell gotten away with that? Should be ten minutes in the bin, at least.

Anyway, it's somehow level at the break. Australia will be pleased with that.

Dear God it's like watching the England Colts - dropped passes, passing to the wrong shirt, easy Aus runs through the midfield, turnovers. So far looks like England have hit another trough Eddie. Have absolutely no idea how the 2nd half will pan out.

Ball carriers drop shoulders all the time, since when is that an issue?

England looked in the first 20 minutes, dropped off a bit and allowed Australia back in.

Hope thew second half is better than the first.

Really bizarre mitigation offered by Peyper in saying that the ball carrier dropped his shoulder. Well uhm yeh.....

How else is a ball carrier going to go into contact? Farrell has got away with another one there.

We can't be confident with Damy at 15. It's starting to affect his overall play, because he's trying to hard to make up for it elsewhere.

I agree that Farrell is not exercising any control over his team. We've been turned over a few times at the breakdown, mainly through failing to protect our ball, and you shouldn't let that happen without reading the riot act.

We need shape. Bring Ford on, move Farrel to FB.
Bring the captain and Hughes on with 35 to go.
Stop kicking when ball in hand is the option.

7 turn overs and very little to show for it. The forwards must be pissed.

TightHEAD - agree with you 100% on the Farrell (non)tackle just before H/T. Penalty try and 10 mns in the bin. As so often, your rugby observations are astute and well worth reading. But...

...pse lose the homophobia and sexism. The attack on G Thomas was witless and it's good he's had so much active support. It's not good enough just to sit back and say 'what happened to him was wrong/some of my best friends are.../I've nothing against...etc'. In this case, actions speak much louder than words, to condemn - not just disagree with - totally unacceptable behaviour on our streets. Maggie Alphonsi, meanwhile, was a great player (I saw her play - did you?), a World Cup winner and now is an astute observer of the game: women's, mens', kids' - it's essentially the same game. As someone who achieved to and at the very highest level, she has every right to be consulted as an expert on rugby - all rugby.

Any refs can answer this

Peyper says he thought Aussie lock 'also dropped shoulder' hence why he didnt penalize Farrell for what was an obvious no arms tackle

Question is, is player in possession obliged to wrap his fracking arms when he goes into contact whilst holding the fracking ball?

Or has Peyper just made the biggest refereeing f$$k up I've witnessed for a long time
