Not held....high tackle....Aus pen???

How many pens is that now?

Rodd has been really active in the loose even if his scrummaging has room for improvement.

That is yet another high shot...

Indeed ! Between butchered tries and even Farrell missing a penalty the sum total of all this domination of possession and lopsided penalty count is practically nothing...

Perhaps England do better when the other mob have all fifteen on the field

Missed touch from the penalty, England are doing their best to keep them in this bloody game.  Sort it out!

The rest of his game has been excellent so far. Hes clearing out like a beast and passed lovely there...

Like the other young lads he just needs to polish his game up. No idea why Smith basically ran into touch from the Steward offload instead of going back in field either, he might have got away with tip toeing down the line in the Prem I suppose. Best the various young lads learn the lessons in the friendlies now ready for the 6N.

Ref is ignoring repeated pens as he's binned 2 for full yellows. Poor. But is the sh way.

I always grimace when I see we have Peyper ... he's clueless

Now he's given a pen the wrong way

That is a ridiculous call, the Aussies were whipping it around!

Cockers the water boy makes me chuckle!

Well that's a poor linesman effort. But at least it doesn't cost us.

Given Mitchell got time last week would love to see the same for Quirke now.

England are doing the best to keep Australia in touch and the Aussies are doing the best not to take advantage.

I am watching two threads on this match, Aussirs are complaining about every penalty, ditto here

But we're right

The aussies obviously don't know the laws.

Need to get a score here, match is in the balance. We need to guard against a sucker punch.

Nearly very silly from Steward there. If the catcher lands awkwardly there that can very easily be a reversed penalty due to foul play.

The way Underhill steps up in his international appearances is so strange. If I was a Bath fan I'd be so frustrated by what he does in club rugby. Just something about England's systems that seem to suit Underhill down the ground. Not just defensively but also carrying around the fringes. Underhill seems to really relish being part of those subtle shifts of the ball the England forwards try to make just before contact.

Nice no arms there....

Lovely for Hoskins. Great for him.

Delighted for Hoskins to be getting a debut. I really rate him from his LI performances across a good few years.

Faz really looks in pain there though, sadly.

Youngs slow as f....I mean there oukd be more support ie 15 guys around there helping a helpless scrum half. Poor guy.

Ok I wanted Farrell off but wouldn't wish an injury on anyone

Happy for Hoskins - even if I'd prefer him playing for LI ...

Dombrandt, Smith, manu, Slade

Good for the TMO there - although how all the on-field officials couldn't spot it I don't know

Nic White thet was blatant

Put it shorter and let Steward compete.

17 Ozzie penalties. Ouch

That's harsh on White I think. Not sure he changes his line at any point whilst retreating?

Come in trev...smash it

Quirke is class

I am

Ref has been pretty kind to Australia on penalties .

Is that Hills best game for England?

Blamire is good at being a pest around the breakdown.

Again doesn't help knowledge in general that Larkham continues commentating I'm Australia rather than the game. Starts to make sense when you co sider wider SH fan comments ie they don't get explained tge laws they get explained a view.

It's been an odd game. We're really on top in pretty much every department but just not put the game away. We really should be 15-20 ahead.

Peyper not helped by allowing Oz to constantly give away pens with no YC warning ...

When does everyone say Slade is absolutely average in decision making.

Please don't make Air Steward a thing. I'd really like to watch Freddie have a decade long international career without hearing that nickname from commentators.

Attacks are so quick with Smith....he's so good.

Lovely try-fest this

Oh and getting in Youngs way probably preventing a try in the first half ...

Yyyseeessssssssssssssssss
