Turn off the audio though to save your sanity!

Just listening to them praising England's defense completely oblivious to them missing 23, 46 and 33 tackles so far this November is one-eyed enough to press mute for the rest of the afternoon

Interesting if not exciting game, with the advantage you can go and make a cup of tea in the time it takes Laidlaw to pick up and kick the ball.

Scotland getting the rub of the decisions so far. Lucky to not be well behind.

Looked yellow to most of us.

Its not really going to plan.

Laidlaw is quick with the ball when needed.  When not ie a box kick or slow ball he does like to take his time.

Another crap piece of referee work for the Ozzie (non) try. Touchie and ref right in line, clearly watching the pass and then have to go back to tmo. Losing a lot of respect for these officials, making a farce of things.

How is that not a penalty try and yellow for Farrell? Ref said something about Aus player dropping shoulder?

Great start by England, followed up by letting them right back into it again.

Absolute referring bellendery to say yet another no arm Farrell tackle was the ball carrier's fault. Australia are walking and not even facing the right direction half the time but the officials and England brain farts aren't half keeping them in the game

England are shit.  Daly should not be at FB and Farrel was lucky the Australian dipped his shoulder.

Farrel must be close to an international Red card, i hope Jones is warning him.

Itd pay for England to remember there are some world class players in that Aus side.

Farrell with a no-arms charge to stop a try? That’s so unlike him.

Jones is probably working out how to bring Johnny Sexton into his answer when asked about it later.

Could you explain how that makes any difference?

When one eyed Dawson says Farrell was lucky not to get a yellow you know it was a nailed on 10 minutes.

He is a liability

Well ask the ref, he said they both did so cancelled each other out.

Maybe the refs aren’t allowed to check tmo for things they don’t see live.

Only way I can fathom the crap decisions lately

God! Bet we will be hearing about that Farrell incident all week in the English press.

The Aus disallowed try pees me off too. A try should stand having been given and not be put on hold after stadium replays.

Because the ref decided two wrongs dont make a right.  Fwiw I'm with the majority i suspect, Farrel should be off

What is the second wrong (real answer according to the laws not the referees imagination)?

Does that count as a pragmatic victory for Scotland?  fine defensive effort, few brainfarts

I thin we can say the Hastings / Russell experiment did not work.  Looked better with Dunbar on.

NOt a great game tho.  Blunt attack v stonewall defense.

Well this is the real test for England, they need to get keep them out for the remainder of this game, need to close out games

So dropping a shoulder into the tackle is not allowed? Completely bullshit decision. The ref should be ashamed when he looks back.

Farrell was lucky. As was the Aus 2nd row who dumped Daly. Just because you drop him doesn’t make it ok. Once you pick up a player you are responsible.

Flashes from H-Petty & Folau show what Aus are capable of. Foley completely ineffective at 12.

Not a bad win over Australia but we still look a bit blunt / inaccurate in attack with silly handling errors brining promising moves to a halt. Still persisted with giving away silly penalties too. Farrell needs a few lessons in tackling too because he’s going to come unstuck at some point if he keeps doing what he’s doing.

The pack went well today; Ben Moon has been really good this autumn given that he’s come out of nowhere from an international point of view. Sinckler has been good too. Lawes has a good game too. Back row has actually looked pretty balanced; will Wilson move to six once Billy is back? He’s had a good few games too. Joe C has had a good first few caps too.

Lots to work on (as there has been since forever). The 6N will be interesting next year.

Sinckler did a good job of winding the Aussies up; he was picked up on the refs mic telling them that they were ‘all f*cking snitches’ and telling his opposing front tow members that they had stinky breath, live on tv.

Wales cutting SA to pieces once they get in the 22 with two nicely worked tries. The SA defence is all over the place though.
