England to whitewash Australia

[Derm McCrum]

Oz win a penalty at the scrum. <br><br>
And another stoush. Poite clucks mother hen fashion. <br><br>
Foley lines it up. Slightly to left of posts. <br><br>
And it's over.<br><br>
13-16. 37 minutes.

[Derm McCrum]

England attack brilliantly ball spins out the line to Yarde who has some space. And is tackled. Disappointing.

<p>Farrell on song tonight 19-13 England at HT</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Scrum to Oz as halftime approaches. <br><br>
And England win a penalty in kickable range. <br><br>
Farrell steadies himself and that's 5/5. <br><br>
England go in the break 19-13

[Derm McCrum]

Australian indiscipline costing them dearly. <br><br>
2 tries to 1 and they're still behind on the scoreboard.

<p>I think England started to dominate in the forwards towards the back end of that half. Aussie back line looks bloody dangerous though. Pooper has been well nullified.</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>England winning the collisions - as evidenced by the injury toll. Commentators said that Eddie reckoned if England were ahead after 25 or so minutes they wouldn't be caught.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Right now, it's looking like it. Still...it's only halftime.</p>

Smart scrummaging by Cole - shoulder in and down, hold back post-engage, and let Sio over extend

[NTA]

Great cohesion by the Pommy forwards and some utter shit by our blokes up front.

[NTA]

Haskell ripping it up. Looks fit, focused

[NTA]

We're too lateral. Need to start switching inside off Foley

[NTA]

Cole does it again. Just folding in. Next one will be a penalty

[NTA]

Lol sucker punched! Expecting Cole to drop, they change momentum.

I don't agree with Eddie. The Wallabies are an 80 minute team, England not so much. Wallabies will finish strong, 11 points in 18 minutes is well within reach.

[Toddy]

<p>England should putting the game away in this 10 minute sin bin period but instead are looking a bit clueless on how to close the game out.</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Boof stupid by Mumm

[Derm McCrum]

Farrell nails it again. 8/9 tonight I think

[Billy Tell]

England showing the advantage of an 85% goal kicker.

[Derm McCrum]

Great tackle by Haskell. <br><br>
Oz score anyway. <br><br>
25-32 with ten to go.
