This isn't going to end well for England, I fear.
Should have been yellow for Hooper, mind you. Citing?
No answer to the back row,or the speed of deed of second phase ball. I had expected England to up their game against a SH team,either they haven't or OZ are better than we thought.
Have England ever come back from a 14 point deficit at half time?
England lucky not to be 20+ down...?
No that's unfair. The scoreline is a reflection of the game. Yes Hooper should be cited for deliberate dangerous play, and yes we are too slow and/or out of position in defence. And it'll get worse as we tire.
We need two tries and a pen to zero to win. Can't see it happening.
Tbh - England aren't far off the pace. A couple of knock-ons in crucial areas, should have taken 3 in the first minute, a pen advantage where Poite gave adv-over with no real advantage, and a VERY close call on the fwd pass.10-9would look a lot different.
It's a long way from here though.
Scotland a decent team don't make laugh, they defend and attack like a school team. Everything is static you can't defend at international level by standing still. And then in attack, again no speed everything done standing still. Bottom of 6 nations.
My crytsal ball is clearing, the future is clear. As it has been for a long while. SL is checking the classifieds for a new job.
It isn't just SL at fault. Farrell must shoulder some as well, not to mention the players.
And now here we are with Barritt at 13 again and Jonathan Joseph playing wing.
Ffs.
Just crap.
Getting killed at the breakdown.
Is it too late to call up Steffon Armitage?
Passing been poor, going astray or at best forcing the receiver to check and actively catch it. Nervy, and I suspect rather than come back we'll lose by even more.
Dragon; trolling rugby threads after his 10 special brews on a Sat night near you.
Yep, the father. Unlike Edwards with Wales, he seems to have brought poor play from league. None of the defensive nous, just dull.
Marler getting torn a new one, finally. Scrum straight, Joe.
Penalty. We may as well go for line outs now, nothing to lose.
Kane Douglas has a headband over his eyes. No wonder he couldn't see Robshaw didn't have the ball.
High and off the ball from Aus 4 there.
I know bugger all about rugby but the result is going the way I expected it to....
The same hype as with the England footy team without delivery of the results.
Not over yet
Thats just cruel - giving them hope. 😉
Bit of a momentum shift......
Burgess to score the winning try and make everyone forget the last 2000 posts 😉
Oh,oh...
yes whilst you are having that fantasy can we have levitating mountain bikes?
Jonv, was just thinking that!
I wish we played properly in the first half.

It's all been fixed. Jivebunny's lizards worked it out last year.
Burgess a tackling liability.
And Farrell made no attempt to use the arms.
Yellow? Game over.
End of game?
Lucky not to have two yellows, and Poite didn't even want to give one.
Kind of saw the card coming. Game over! Harsh as it was an OZ dummy runner.
Edit; twickers; two weeks in the trot with the boo's, you stay classy!
You edited, CFH! 😆
Nice booing of the kicker. Classy.
Ninja edit skillz.
How was that high tackle not at least a yellow? To go with the other one.
Still it wastes a bit of time before match of the day comes on.
Oh dear. Not looking forward to the welsh scrum v aus.
So, who's gonna be the next England coach then? 😉
Coffin lid slams shut.
You lot need an open side...And some props.
So, who's gonna be the next England coach then?
AA?
Rub it in why don't you.
They'll be dancing in the streets of pretty much everywhere outside of England tonight. 😉
Time for a major clearout in England.
Playing farrell should never had happened. And most of the team haven't turned up for the matches. SL to go. AF should hold a fair bit due to the nepotism.
England just didn't play well enough at all.
Aus should make it a long way off not the final surely
Damn.
