Eng v Aus match thread + build up

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

First topic message reminder :

Chance to chat about the game.
I think it will be a real cracker with England to take it by around 8 points or more.
I know every game is important but the management must have this penciled in as a must win because they can win it if they play it right.

[butterfingers]

Brown finally given his 15 shirt back and he has been impeccable thus far.

[Hood83]

A LOT of wax jackets in that crowd.

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

Thank God for charge downs

[quinsforever]

fair enough doc, but i want to see aggressive hungry runners who back themselves and cause problems first, good offloaders second.

[wales606]

Will Genia has been awful in this game

[Biltong]

Poor from Genia, he has been pfaffing around the rucks all day.

[quinsforever]

LOL...feeling pretty good about the win prediction right about now

[butterfingers]

A bit of urgency and Aus really struggle to hang on to us, wheres Youngs now?!

[nathan]

oooooh that try will get GE's back up. Something for him to moan about for the nest 20 years. lol

[TJ]

That is ridiculous. Aus really were robbed there

[Hood83]

Wow. I hate to say it but Oz have been absolutely robbed there. Very very poor from the refs.

[ospreysboyo]

Shocking decisions that even let England get to that position, but great awareness from Robshaw, I think they'll push on for the win now.

[butterfingers]

We are seeing why Genia has been dropped recently, he has been a defencive liability and awkward in attack for a while now.

[GloriousEmpire]

14 point turn around from a referee fail? Disgusting. Just disgusting but I'm afraid just about expected these days.

[GunsGerms]

Hard to believe these teams are ranked 3 and 4 in the world. Both are quite weak.

[BamBam]

Our secret weapon the charge down is back after the 2011 6 Nationa

[nathan]

now we can add an irishman to the list! lol

[nathan]

Hard to believe these teams are ranked 3 and 4 in the world. Both are quite weak.

Just goes to show how weak the ones below them are...

[doctor_grey]

must sub out Farrell and Youngs. NOw

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

Controversial Brown in touch,tut what ever the result they can't blame Clancy because he has really favored the home team.

[Geordie]

Farrell and 36 aren't having.their best days

[Hood83]

Our secret weapon the charge down is back after the 2011 6 Nationa

Is C Hargedown our top try scorer...genuine question.

Give it a rest will you, that was clearly wasn't Clancys fault.

[GunsGerms]

Neither team deserve to win anyway. Both are awful.

[GloriousEmpire]

I'm sorry but all three Englishmen who effected that turn over were blatantly lying on the ground. What the hell is Clancy doing?

[BamBam]

YESSSS

[nathan]

lot more urgency since youngs came on

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

More like it,take the game by the scruff of the neck

[mystiroakey]

young s with is quicker ball has made all the difference.

and as I type it he brings Farrell in!

well played England

[GunsGerms]

Id fancy Wales and France to give either a hiding if they played like this. Would be disapointed if Ireland dont beat Oz on the 16th too based on this show.

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

Tell me about it but Clancy is a plonker.

[Breadvan]

Another controversial try? ( listening to 5live btw)

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

Dear me! obstruction now leagal

[TJ]

Another shocker of a decision. Clear obstruction.

Neither have played any recent games so how can you say that?

[LeinsterFan4life]

Nice play Hartley he knew exactly what he was doing.

[mystiroakey]

Right England time to pile it on..

[Hood83]

Hahahahaha. 'Ol lumpen feet.

[GloriousEmpire]

Blatant blatant blatant obstruction

[doctor_grey]

must sub out Farrell and Youngs.  NOw

Gee. I was right we needed to keep Farrell on.
Team has more energy and purpose.

[The Saint]

 

[mystiroakey]

Guns- seriously are you having a laugh mate..

This is the first game of the AI's- you cant tell a thing from this.. BUt England coming on storing anyway

[nathan]

that try was ok for me, not enough of a obstruction to not award it. Of course the anti english folks on here will disagree...

[GunsGerms]

Dont think that was contraversial at all. Rubbish defense from Oz. They are apauling.

[Geordie]

Well GE as kiwi you should know all about it. After all your the masters of it!

[GloriousEmpire]

For Christ sake. Why doesn't Clancy just stick on an England shirt

[DeludedOptimistorjustDave]

More atmosphere in a gold fish bowl than Twickers, singing that one line of swinglow they know.

[quinsforever]

14 point turn around from a referee fail? Disgusting. Just disgusting but I'm afraid just about expected these days.

we should bring clancy in for the nz game. he doesnt seem to spot offsides either which should suit nz down to the ground

[Biltong]

Another shocker of a decision. Clear obstruction.  

Apparantly not enough obstruction.

Never knew there are acceptable degrees of obstruction.

[wales606]

Aus need to sub off Genia ASAP
