England to whitewash Australia
-
That's a fucking ridiculous call.

So basically, yes a penalty on your own line should only ever end in the penalty being given or a try being scored.<br><br>
And as Siam points out England were on a team warning so would have had a player binned as well.<br><br>
Great defense but fuck they got away with that one.</p></blockquote>

From what I recall the advantage was called over when OZ were only 2m out from the line. It was on the opposite side of the park to where the penalty was awarded. -
This has to be some kind of record for midfield bombs. How many is that now? 15 plus?

<p>Still feel a bit strange seeing Toby Smith as a Wallabies prop even though I understand he was born there.</p>

Gustard has earned his money as defence coach so far. Outstanding defence

<p>Yes it is not often when you hear that the defence has turned to Gustard, that it is a good thing. Well done Paul!</p>
<p>[Yes, terrible pun. I'll go get my coat].</p> -
Should have taken the points. English defense is immense.
-
<p>The English tight forwards have really got about the field defending quite well. Don't remember them being so fit and committed against a SH side with 20 m or so to go.</p>

<p>That's 2 penalty kicks they've turned down now.</p> -
<p>The channel 10 commentators never mention the English players by name. Very hard for a neutral like me to remember/recall who is doing what. English hooker impressing me in general play/defending.</p>

<p>How crap is Nick Phipps? Surely the Aussies must have a better scrummie?</p>

<p>Whaddaya mean? He struts, talks back, starts fights then hides behind the fatties. Classic Aussie halfback!</p> -
151-46 tackle count?!!

Amazing defence but some seriously average attack here.

<p>Oh its Hartley? Been good so far methinks. Didn't see him bite anyone either.</p>
