    England showing the advantage of an 85% goal kicker.

    England getting away with a lot at ruck time, really slowing the Wallaby ball down.

    Weird decision. They'll only have 2 minutes to score 4.

    Ooo tough call but I would have gone for the try and draw, not sure they have time to get up the other end of the field.

    And it turns out to be the wrong decision. Going 80m in 2 minutes is highly unlikely.

    39 points against Australia at home by a NH team. <br><br>
    Is that a first?

    <p>Woohoo! Edge of the seat stuff. I thought after 10 minutes it was going to be a thrashing, but if there's one difference in the England team under Jones it's composure.</p>

    <p>That was a great game of rugby. Australia dominated early, then England were on top until they let the Aussies back into it. Australia will have to front up with their forwards next week.</p>

    I thought the kick for goal at the end was the right decision. You have a try and penalty on your to do list. Tick one off quickly with an easy shot and back yourself to hold the ball and get a try. Especially now that you can kick for the corner after time is up.

    <p>Yep. He's lost a couple where he's come off the bench for Sarries, I think, but none where he's started.</p>

    8 points down I agree. But 7 points down and you can snatch a draw. As I said tough decision. They had a much better chance of getting the draw, however I can understand playing for the win.

    Fair play to Aus too, came out like a house on fire and never gave up either towards then end. Every time their backs had the ball I was digging my fingernails into my palms. The Southern Hemisphere really do play at a different pace.<br><br>
