[Steven Harris]

This was well worth getting up for Brilliant game ,the Wallabies fully deserved this win thought they played the much better rugby than England ..Gee you can see Joe Schmidt’s influence on this team starting to take effect
What a debut from Sualii..!

England will really not want to be 0 from 3 against the SH, so should be a great one vs. South Africa.

Great game Wobblies, superb support play from forwards and backs, despite the breakdown being a free for all with being on your feet being optional and England using that to full advantage

Yes
Hard fucking NO

Disagree. Waaaay better reffing than yesterday.

Very low bar which was barely eclipsed

Incredible game by the Wallabies ! Thumbs up for Joe Schmidt. Wright, Kellaway, Suaalii, McDermott, Valetini, McReight, Williams and Bell have been awesome.

[African Monkey]

Wow! What a test!

Bell, Suali'i, Kellaway, Jeremy Williams and Wright were standouts.

Marcus Smith was the only good thing for England. Ollie Lawrence had an absolute mare. He stuffed up a lot of England's play.

And best ever game by Lolesio with the gold jersey (not a difficult task, though).

Makes you wonder why Borthwick shifted him to 13

It would have been a travesty if England had won that game , I thought England should have been YC when Australia broke and kicked ahead and Engalnd conceded what looked a very cynical penalty
Also 2 or 3 clear cut chances to pull away when they were 10 points or so ahead not taken
So much to like about the Wallabies but they will have to tighten the breakdown area and they were also exposed with kicks in behind

Which players are currently injured for Oz who would be in the frame? Can’t have been often they’ve had Bell and Tupou together in recent years…. and made the right decision to start Wilson.

So anyone wanna get on my bandwagon?

Just watched a mini match package,

Great game , well done Aussies

[BerniesCorner]

Might have a good WC 2027

[Bones]

Oh yeah, well done Aussie.

England you fucking morons, ditch the feckless coach. So many good players, so little direction.

[Machpants]

Rankings have been shaken up, England down to seventh. Now just need Scotland to do us a favour

[Billy Tell]

I see the Aussie league centre is only 21! Prodigious talent.

What is it with England just showing up and not getting stuck in. They seem to think that they made the team so now they don’t have to work?I can’t believe it’s the players so I have to think that it’s coming from borthwick. Well done Aussie! Enjoyed that game

It’s like they don’t have the belly to get in and really fight for it. I can’t believe it’s the players so I have to think that it’s coming from borthwick. Well done Aussie! Enjoyed that game

Being 15-3 up probably was the cause of complacency. The start came a bit too easy for them.

[Mattasaurus]

Entertaining game, both coaches will be unimpressed with tackle completions - that said some very nicely worked tries regardless

NH scribes will be struggling eating their Sunday dinners and wondering how NZ and Aus missed the memo about the home team winning this weekend
