      <p>Joubert is going to lose control of this match because he refuses to stamp his authority on it.</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>As I write that, England score from the maul and it was easy.</p>

          This turf is a disgrace, what an embarrassment.

            Turf aside, this is a fantastic match. Just tough rugby.

                These two teams are out niggling Cam Smith in his home patch.

                      I'm struggling to think who else is involved. Don't think it's the first time in Melbourne though...

                        <p>This feels like the end of the second half not the first</p>

                          Immense defence from England right on half time. Oz throwing everything at them too.

                            Someone needs to give Billy V an uppercut for kicking to touch before the hooter.

                              I remember one of the AB games in the RWC had the same issue when they played at a Soccer stadium. The sandy field is great for Soccer with the amazing drainage... not so great when you have 900kgs of prime beef pushing against 900kgs of prime beef.

                                  Wow. Plenty of handbags going through the tunnel there. 2nd half should be a cracker. <br><br>
                                  Foley having a bit of a shocker. Reckon Aus need a more traditional 12. Kerevi is not a good enough distributor.

                                    Wallabies getting their flow on in that last 15 - 20 mins, they will blow this open in the 2nd half.

A new directive perhaps? I was very surprised as I assured my wife (Wallabies supporter) that they'd get the chance to tie it up.

                                        I thought the advantage at the end of the first half was fine - seemed to go for plenty of phases.
