Our Forwards need to show some leadership and keep the ball,

I don't mind that happening. I will mind it if he doesn't change his tackling technique and it costs us a game. At this rate, that's almost certain to happen.

by Scottrf Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:00 pm

Definite penalty try.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:01 pm

Peyper has always been a very poor whistle, often seeing the game in a very unique and individual way.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:01 pm

We need to shove it up our jumpers and grind this one out.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:02 pm

Sinkler is Fraking mental.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:03 pm

Scrum control needs to be exploited.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:04 pm

Daly is a winger look at that pace

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:04 pm

Why did Farrell kick?

by Duty281 Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:05 pm

Order restored.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:06 pm

I nominate Sinkler as our next Captain.

It would be one hell of a ride.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:07 pm

Keep the ball in hand.

Pie wrote: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

the last one, in bold

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:14 pm

Poor Farrell kick.

by Pie Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:15 pm

I dont want to detract from the rugby but can someone who has been here longer explain why Tighthead gets away with constant rubbish on here?

Outstanding from Daly.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:15 pm

Daly is shocking under the high ball..

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:17 pm

Someone has to turn the lights out.

This comment does not refer to TH's response.

by Duty281 Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:18 pm

And there's the game. Good job.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:19 pm

Nice

by Duty281 Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:23 pm

Nearly one of the great England tries. Shame.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:25 pm

Hooper holding on

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:27 pm

Should have been a try.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:28 pm

Farrell is not the way forward at 10.
Again he kicks away a try scoring opportunity

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:30 pm

Bring on Ford

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:31 pm

7.5 has rightly highlighted the wings coming.
He has real spacial awareness.

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:33 pm

Did he drop it?

by **Biltong** Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:33 pm

Should be a penalty for Wallabies just putside english 22, in front of kicker

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:34 pm

Ref is going to Tmo what the Frak for?

It’s a try

Never touched the line look at the camera angle

by **Biltong** Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:36 pm

England just too physical for Australia

by Pie Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:36 pm

Is Clive Woodward's only contribution that 'England should keep building the score'?

That is generally how you win games!

Stop eating Pie and go and play some rugby, you’ll find out.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:43 pm

Easy try, how many tries did Wales get vs Aus?

by Duty281 Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:47 pm

A complete second half performance. Not the best Australian side, but six wins in a row over them is pretty special for England. Some promising steps taken forward over the autumn, which has erased much of the disappointing Six Nations campaign earlier in the year.

by **Biltong** Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:48 pm

Well done England, very physical performance.

Intensity, pace, physicality

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:51 pm

So much room for improvement, not sure we can beat Ireland in Dublin but hey that is where we currently are.

Well done lads

by kingelderfield Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:52 pm

We're taken apart very easily.

So much time has been wasted and we're still not a cohesive whole.
The 6n will need to be massive for us. Lets prey for no more injuries.
Farrell is not a 10 to take us to wc success.
Ozy look shot.

by majesticimperialman Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:52 pm

Well a good win for England in the end.

A great second half from England.

This England team are looking good for Next year's world cup.

But lets not get to far ahead of our selves shell we.

by englishborn Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:53 pm

Well I for one am staying to watch the red roses. I support England at rugby union no matter the age or gender.

Not many are look at the stands empty!

I am. I'm beginning to understand that some posters are moderated while others just say what they like thumbsup

by Barney McGrew did it Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:58 pm

Well the 1st half was a dog's dinner but the 2nd half was more controlled. Maybe swap May & Daley - May catches pretty much everything, Daley couldn't catch a cold, but too good to drop. Centre combo still needs work. And so many missed tackles. Just heard that Manu stepped on a rake leaving the pitch - due another cameo in 2020.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 4:59 pm

Not enough here to fill the Rec without the temp stands.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 5:00 pm

what a game from Sinkler

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 5:01 pm

Itoje still playing like a petulant teenager what is wrong with him, used to be level headed.

It's now our longest streak, beating the five wins from 2000-2003. Australia's longest streak over us is four wins, from 1984-88.

by TightHEAD Sat 24 Nov 2018, 5:06 pm

The crowd are voting with their feet, and their love of beer.

Mind you a few are hanging around!
