England to whitewash Australia

[dingo]

<p>Am I watching the same game as the TMO and Ref penalize Oz there in that scuffle?  Surely what the White No 6 did was worse?</p>

[No Quarter]

Wow Robshaw should be in the bin for that.

[Stockcar86]

<p>I love seeing the Aussies and Poms smacking the shit out of each other. More fights please</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Need the Aussies to niggle Hartley a bit more so he really kicks off</p>

[dingo]

<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>
<p> </p>
<p>This is like watching your two least favorite cousin-in-laws have a "you looking at me" moment while drunk at Christmas.  You don't care who wins just think its gonna be hilarious no matter what happens.</p>

[Donsteppa]

Groundsman should be sacked.

[Unite]

This turf is a disgrace, what an embarrassment.

[Hooroo]

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

<p>Don't think it is his fault.</p>

Fuckin hell, these buggers might as well be playing this game on St Kilda beach.<br><br>
These two teams are out niggling Cam Smith in his home patch.

You're not wrong there

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

[Stockcar86]

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

[Donsteppa]

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

[Disgusted of TW]

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.

[barbarian]

<p>Jeez that felt like a big moment at the end of the half there. But Joubert's decision to call 'advantage over' was atrocious- he's not having a good game tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>England playing smarter rugby, like last week. The conditions suit them, and they are playing them perfectly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We need to step up in the forwards, and continue the good work in the last 10 of the first half.</p>

[Rancid Schnitzel]

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.

[Unite]

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