A draw would be funny.
Particularly as then all the Queenslanders who hate Cheika would be mildly perplexed to whether the tour was a failure or a success....
:thinking:
Nah jokes. They'd totally think it was a failure.

0-0 draw is only result that will fully satisfy me here. Jones and Cheika are made for each other - although with Jones I get the sense he is a touch more self aware.

Hell no. That result would have both coaches crowing about how wonderful their defence is and how 'if they played NZ tomorrow' like that NZ would not be able to score
I would prefer a very high scoring draw so we could accuse them of playing 'basketball rugby' and not knowing how to actually win.
-
Definitely want an England win - by about 1-2 points with mainly penalties.
Cue mass hysteria - England unbeaten for the year, Grand Slam and the Aussie Brazilian.
This would set things up nicely for a possible ding-dong in Lansdowne on Paddy's Day weekend.
-
An Aussie win kicking a penalty in overtime on the back of a dodgy scrum penalty would make me happy.
-
Im getting very worried about this game. Billy V's carrying game has been vital to the way England have played under Jones so far, and with Itoje and Haskell out we're missing our two best ruck clearers. Pooper could do a number on us like they did in the World Cup.
Add to that that our defence has looked brittle at times this November and the Austin back line is still very very good given quick ball, plus they'll have been targeting this match for 6 months. If Australia get their tails up it could even turn nasty for England.

You don't reckon it would be anyway?

the Austin back line
Are they playing at Twickers or are you going to Texas?
-
I hope Aus win.
- I like Eddie less than Chek (mentioned above ... this may change with whatever curcumstances are current at the time though)
- Stops England's run.
- Good for the sport here in Aus. Always needs as much positivity as it can get.
-
Or should I say i dislike Chek less than Eddie ...
-
I find it funny that we are supporting Australia to win because of the record when we laughed at the Aussies celebrating Irelands win over us

Posting from my phone, it doesn't like Aussie.
Can't say I blame it.

@Hooroo I'm cool with a 8-8 draw.

Aw come on - that would mean the Poms scored a try.
What about 12-all? That way it can be 4 Pommy penalty goals to two tries, one conversion by us

@NTA was a penalty try and they missed the conversion for the win...that ok

Oh that's utter bastardry!
As long as its not from a scrum penalty, and the conversion attempt ricochets off the crossbar to hit Owen Farrell in the head!
