Reckon that tackle went beyond the Hz

Dare I say it, excellent refereeing.

Hard to ping Hooper for that tackle when Vunipola basically tripped over Latu.

Latu was the one I was looking at. Grass cutter charge I thought.

Perfectly executed tackle in line with current WR directive to reduce head injury.

I reckon this Pom side has a bit of downhill skier about it ,

Looks great going forward , looks a bit shakey going the other way

[taniwharugby]

fuck I hate them letting the subs come on to celebrate....

Can’t say I’ve ever seen a downhill skier ski uphill...

I don't see any evidence of coaching in this Wallaby team outside of set piece. Although it's hard to tell when there's no space because the defence is offside and Genia removes any remaining space by running sideways.

OK, so what changes do you make if your Cheika? Still in the match, but a good start with points is absolutely imperative.

For me, White comes on for Genia. Toomua comes on for Lealiifano, who hasn't been direct enough. Koroibete is being schooled by Watson, so I'd drag him, out Petaia on that wing and bring JOC into midfield.

Upfront, keep things as is and then roll the changes from the 50min mark.

Garces and his frog mates is utter cow dung. Some of the calls is unfathomable. All other teams should be glad the missed them

Really? Think he’s been fine.

Should disallow the try if it happens

[taniwharugby]

@Billy-Tell missed a few critical things.

Could have given Slade a card. Maybe the odd offside. But otherwise ok.

I've got the ITV stream on.

Clive Woodward and Dallagio thrashwanking about the greatness of this English side.

C'mon Aussie !!!!

[No Quarter]

I reckon this game is well placed for White to come on and really have an impact.

[MrDenmore]

Beale best player on attack for Wallabies; worst on defence. I like Petaia at centre, but Australia too unstructured and pushing passes. Think they can still take it if they score next because England aren’t that great.

I disagree that the defence is generally offside. They are flat and coming up quick but they're generally ok. Genia needed to use the quick ball he got better.
