I don’t think so. He’s going for the intercept.

Since when has it been ruled like that? 2012? That is a clear YC under these interpretations. Whether it should be or not is another question. If that wasn't a YC, then it would be hard for any deliberate knock to be a YC,

Excellent cover tackle

Going for an intercept by throwing one arm in the air whilst jumping, yeah nah. Easy YC when the attacking team are in the red zone.

So any failed interception is a deliberate knock on...
I thought the rule was not slapping the ball in a downward motion

I think that was a furphy invented by Aussie commentators / coaches/ fans a couple of years back to justify their rage at not being given a knock-on when Nick Tompkins
knocked it down (and backwards)

England's kicking much better than ours. Kicks into space and keeping Australia deep in their own half.

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent tactics by England. Getting in behind the Oz defensive line with their ball carries and short kicking game.

How overrated is Tupou?

but the Aus media love him!

[MiketheSnow]

Is it me or is this boring as fuck?

[Canes4life]

This is a complete mauling by England so far. Could have two series deciders next week which will be great viewing.

[Mattasaurus]

Dumb penalty given away there... What was he thinking

[ACT Crusader]

@MiketheSnow England are winning and you’re Welsh.

It’s you.

Really enjoying this, good skills and execution.

Justin Harrison a pretty good comments man too honestly. Never thought I’d say that!!!

This English forward pack is smashing the Aussie pack by going straight up the middle physically dominating the Wallabies.

@Bones

Yeah nice. Is Cadbury an indigenous product?

Anthony Mundine is and his nickname is Choc, so, golden marketing op right there..

Will have his face in a bucket load of KFC by now.

[ACT Crusader]

Better by Oz. Bell excellent in the lead up.

[MiketheSnow]

England should be streets ahead

[nostrildamus]

The Tongan Thor just has to fall over and let his belly ripple momentum take him over the line. But still makes a good impact player. 19-7 to England, think they can hold out the Wallabies in next 40+ min.

[MiketheSnow]

Could be a YC either way there
