Australia v England - the decider

@MiketheSnow said in Australia v England - the decider:
Long range goal kicking option can not be underestimated
The thing is that Hodge seems to be known for missing long-range penalties, not getting them.

Oh, you wanted direction as well as range?

I really rate Wilson, be interesting how he works with Valentini though considering they’re both primarily ball carriers. Hooper better be prepared to up his workload. Leota makes sense coming off the bench for impact.
Good to see Vunivalu get a shot. He’s finally starting to return on the investment Rugby Aus made. Before this season he just kept the physios busy.
As for Hodge, the fact Banks, Kellaway and Petaia are injured tells you all you need to know about his selection.

@TheMojoman I think Wilson, Valentini and Hooper are a reasonably well matched backrow. Certainly one that would give any team fielding three opensides a torrid time of it.

A Fairy Tale
How they laughed when Aussie fielded 2 opensides and it didn't work. Then the ABs did it for the same results and they gnashed their teeth. But the worst was yet to come! Like magic, there were 3 opensides! But at that stage, everyone wasn't surprised at all, they were just numb. -
Both these teams seem more organised than Fossies fellas...
Poor error by white there
-
Australia doing their level best to throw this one
Should be 3 tries to the good
Cameraman must have just got his drone license
Ref has no clue at scrum time
English loosehead losing his binding almost every scrum
Great coaching from Eddie to hook Care
They’ve released the handbrake

Ha Marcus Smith does a Will Jordan and scores from nowhere. but acts like hes won the WC.
One thing you can say for Eddie Jones, he was a good coach.Unlike Foster who was always an averagely shit Chiefs coach at best -
That was some spectacular side-line commentary not quite censored by the broadcasters...
"Owen Farrell's a fucking ... blank... "
I don't think the guy was trying to say "legend".@Kruse I heard that and chuckled

Samu leaves it behind. I'm thinking in the 90s Aus would have scored those in their sleep.
Symbolic of a malaise in SH rugby currently.
