Can’t believe Barnes then said, “yes but lets look at the ball” 🙄

Oh, and although I wish no ill on anyone, the sooner a replacement can be found for Anscombe the better

Good effort by Wales but missed too many chances in the 1st half and NZ too strong in the end.

Uphill from here…..

Yes, great effort though sounded like I missed the better half. NZ just don’t look tired at 75-80mins.

First 15 minutes you would have though the team in white was in their pre-season. England all at sea, no game plan, no continuity

Something tells me that playing against NZ and SA opposition in the Super Rugby is pretty decent preparation for playing English players! They’re making it look so easy.

Farrell didn’t last long at 10, we’ve had no shape

Aus have looked great with ball in hand keeping the ball alive exceptionally well. England too look comfortable with the ball and are racking up the points so I guess it will be the age old question of territory and possession despite two very different styles. Lots of injuries for Aus so far too. Looked like a wash at the start but England seem favourites at the moment!

I just looked at the score and still can’t believe it!

Yep and the temp is rising on the pitch, halftime could be handy for all. The missed conversions will be costly. Would be good to have at least one proper scrum at some stage.

I’ve been a big Brown fan, but he’s poor today.

We need to KEEP THE BALL!

The Aussies shred us otherwise.

Brown showing exactly how crap he is.

Can’t disagree namestebuzz! He who holds the ball wins the game 🙂 Brown’s speed, passing against the last man and tackling have really been shown up. I know he’s always been in for flak in those areas but I can’t help wondering if the head knocks have taken that extra few % from his game. Not high on confidence anyway and being replaced by Goode would be a real kick in the nuts! As ever, Watson to 15 and bring in another proper speedster

No scaredy, you’ll have to find a dodgy stream. And spend more time closing pop-ups than you normally would when browsing STW.

On SkyGo if you have any mates with Sky who give you their log-in.

Farrell has had a fantastic game so far. Ford quiet again.
Burrell wasn’t subbed because thay wanted ford at 10, he was subbed because they wanted Farrell at 12.

Well to be fair – Ford hasn’t been on that long……

Farrell has done the basics very well. Ford has only had a few minutes. Burrell was injured…

@wrecker Aussie tv was showing how Farrell’s error lead to Aussie try, frankly I thought Farrell was anonymous. Look at the scoreline now he’s not at 10

No luck involved in that try. Aussies must be wondering whats going on!

Farrell has played a blinder. The difference between the teams is the pack at the moment.
Farrell also largely responsible for Josephs try. Hask for Yardes.

I wouldn’t say Farrell is having a blinder but the pack is blowing Aus away

Might not be winning if Foley wasn’t on the field either 🙂

Ha ha Dez 🙂 That was some victory for England. I think the management (for selecting the right players for the first time in goodness knows how long) and the pack can claim that one 🙂

Fantastic match, can’t wait for the next one. and whoever said Brown is crap is clueless. cheers!

Strange taking off Hartley as Cowna-Dickie’s poor throw lost the lineout and could have cost us dearly.

Ford proved he has far more rugby nous than Farrell – making those two tries when the opportunities arose.

Farrell can’t be left out because he rarely misses from the tee but let’s stop all this crap about “he’s the best 10 in Europe” – coz he’s not.

Indeed.

Getting on the end of the Joseph break and throwing the ball away in the offload. Missing the tackle on Foley which was luckily called back. Dropping the ball fielding an easy kick. Being too slow and stupid.

You’re right. He’s brilliant.

Uh-huh, but ‘showing how crap he is’ implies he is crap, which he isn’t to anyone with a clue. 😛

Ford did have a nice kick for Nowells try, but I’d still drop him. Gave away a couple of stupid pens, a couple of wayward kicks. He’s just not accurate enough at the moment.
I think the future of England is with Slade at 12 and Farrell at 10.
Anyone who can’t see that Brown is one of the best 15’s in world rugby doesn’t understand the game.
