England v Australia
-
The Qantas Harmless Wallabies spend five minutes or so on England's line - penalties awarded and so on - and come away with zero, very nearly zero minus 5 or minus 7. You just cannot do that and expect to claw back a win.

England with what turns into the easy win
24-0 second half
Australia better surrenderers than Italy
England 37 - 13 Australia

what's up with the England home game post-match interviewer chicks always being such baiting fluffybunnies? I hate cross-eyed Hooper, but he reacted pretty nicely to that fucking bitch
-
@tordah I fucken just came on to say just that! What a fluffybunny. Hooper steaming when he was walking away and rightly so. What's with this constant deep dive for controversy?

Making your own news by whipping up some perceived issue or injustice seems to be the order of the day - gets you an "exclusive", I guess.
The English press must have been creaming themselves when Underhill's try was disallowed 2 weeks ago. The outrage was synthetic with journos being caught quoting out-of-date laws to show the try should have been allowed.

I think she's got a really snarky style

I respect, and grudgingly admire, Farrell's athleticism, skill, passion, bottle & doggedness.
But due to his 'win at all costs' mentality which often includes blatant cheating & calculated foul play combined with football feigning I can't bring myself to like him. Not that that's going to keep him at night.
Eddie and his press cronies harp on about how integral the Vunipola brothers and Manu 'The Messiah' are to England's chances at the WC.
Rubbish.
Without Farrell England have no fucking chance.

True. But as you say, he's still a cock.
No problems with in-yer-face players (Greg Laidlaw is one of favourites) but Farrell's cynical, fuck-the-opponent, self-congratulatory shit shows a lack of respect and is a real turn-off.
Akira Ioane shows this a bit at times. Wonder if that's what worries Hansen.

Great win for England. Australia all over the shop. It should be taxi time for Krusty but it won't be.
It is a bit like Russian roulette with Owen Farrell. His passion, athleticism, determination and testing the boundaries are winning games for England. The problem is I suspect there will be a game where one of those no-arms tackles get him an early Red in a big game and they're playing with 14 for 60+ minutes.

It's been good to see the Southern hemisphere cooperating so well in Operation "Keep Eddie"....

Just saw that Farrell charge. it's at the start of teh Stuff article below (probably region locked).
I have no idea how that was not a penalty try. He is a very very lucky boy -- the downside is that the controversy could rear it's head at the RWC next year, and he may find some time on the sidelines. Seriously, shaking my head yet again at the lack of consistency in refereeing. No idea how the players cope with random calls from week to week... how the hell do you play to the edge if the edge changes all the time.
Frustrating times as a neutral who thinks Farrell is a pit of a dick.
