England have to keep up that first twenty minute intensity. Come on !!!!

Doesn't help with ref calls like that one. Tomkins knock on?

Cack decision. Cack !!!

came off his forearm...

There are two video refs. Bentham and Shayne Hayne. I actually agree it does get given most times. It shouldn't but does.

This has always been our problem, can't match the Aussie pace for 80 mins.

Hurry up half time - we need to regroup.

High tackle from Thurston there. Open your eyes ref you t*at.

Why are trying to go down the middle so much?

Should've gone thru the hands, we had the numbers.

Dear me Eastmond is good. We should have scored there!!

Have you seen our passing?

I take your point.

They broke far too easily there. We were lucky they lost it.

Ooooh big knock on. Smith needs to sort our kicking game out. Apart from the Fox try its been pretty poor.

Why is Clarkey going on about the Berlin Wall ???

Pretty happy with that. If we apply that effort in the first 20 minutes to the second-half I think we could edge it.

A great half and we're still in it (for a change).

Well - that might be the best 40 minutes of rugby I have ever seen... it might just be the occasion, but WHAT A GAME

Yep. Good half. We're competitive - that's all i ask. At this rate i'll ditch my self-imposed 4 Nations stay away policy !

Roll on the second half.

Very true Bilko. The Aussies seem determined to put everything through that left wing. Worryingly Hayne and Inglis look like they're just waiting to pull something special out of the bag.
Let's be honest, how many thought it'd be so close and even at half time?

I wish someone would teach Sinfield how to pass a rugby ball icon_sad.gif

Good first half but you can sense the threat whenever they shift it left, and their defence has improved as the game has gone on so far. Need to hammer the middle channel and tire them out and then let the half-backs and Roby run at them.

Bit late now



Best rugby anywhere this weekend!

england need a miracle second half
