The england performace, or officals or both?

Atkins has got to be one of the most brain dead players i have ever seen, always tackles too high and takes the wrong option. his size and speed gets him out of so much sh#t

Anyone who says the officials havent helped Australia today are deluded and are just saying it so they dont pass the blame and gives them more to bash England with.

The officials have been nothing short of crap tonight, some absolutely awful calls have led to Aussie tries, disgraceful.

That's something we are all going to agree on ... the officials are a disgrace!

Give him a bit of slack guys, he's a young upcoming kid making his debut against the Aussies, not exactly an experienced international player is he?
is it any wonder our national team always fails when the players get hammered after half a game !!

That was a shocker!

How the ref and touch judge missed that I don't know.

Who chooses the refereeing team? This is a disgrace. Pulls Goulding-Cudjoe back and lets more through.

You're entitled to your opinion of course, but I honestly don't see where you've got all that from.

He's hardly had an opportunity in attack and while I think he needs to improve his support play I don't see how you can come to the conclusion that he 'offers nothing'. And he certainly isn't looking 'terrified'. Oh well.

You do have to wonder about impartiality when you see things like that. He gleefully awarded the try there, despite the ball going out of the hands at a 45 degree angle.

Oh well, I have australia with -26, so thank god for Englands backs

A mile forward. Shocking.

I feel embarrassed for the game with decisions like these.

the poms are getting ripped off badly

This referee is a f####g clown.

Don't mince your words Eddy & SKY team just say it. Cheating tool!

He's 22 FFS.

This is the worst display of biased refereeing in an International game that I can recall. He isn't even trying to pretend any more.

All we want is a neutral referee, a neutral referee, a neutral referee

Decent wingers such as Clubb come in field and actively look for the ball. I honestly haven't seen Briscoe put his hand up all that often - would be interested to see the number of carries he has made by full time. Goulding gets involved at least.

But the reason they were in that position was due to our own poor play by running into touch. We have to improve in the areas we can control. We have to be good enough to overcome a few poor calls in a game.. it happens.

Does anyone on here have the Aussie feed? What are they saying about Archer?

aussies 32-14 now

Unfortunately if you wear the jersey you have to perform to international standard (not the only one). Any issues on age or position that's the coaches fault / call.

Yes, definitely, but lets not get away from the fact that the officials have been absolutely crap.
