This is one of the worst kicking games I have ever seen, never mind at international level

It doesn't help that Jonathan Davies is commentating.

Agree with all the above. I want to see us get stuck into them.
I wouldn't complain if somebody was to get binned for throwing a few. Obviously at a time when it is deemed worthy, I don't mean I just want somebody to start punching randomly.
But win or lose, we need to let the Aussies know they've had a game, and to leave them not looking forward to the next time we play. If that means been grubby and over-aggressive then I'd like to see it.

Get Hicks in an England shirt.

I'm amazed at how flat Australia are standing when camped on our line.

Great ball by Lomax.

There was a mile forward pass by Graham in the build up though.

What is Robert Hicks on here!

He's pulled a knock on and two penalties out of his arše to give Australia that scoring opportunity

How has Hicks got another game after his appalling game between England and New Zealand?

He's now penalising England for loads of tiny infringements after letting Australia get away with loads of lying on and high tackles in the first five minutes.

Hopefully we'll get away with a few more after what Australia have got away with against us over the years.

What's going on with these penalties not finding touch? It's schoolboy stuff. SLOW DOWN FFS!

Not making touch on two penalties is criminal

We would've had more scoring opportunities ourselves had our penalties found touch.

At least we have started spreading the ball more, this is one of the weakest back lines Australia have put out in years so we should be testing them at all opportunities.

How does Gareth Widdop continue to pull on a number 6 shirt for England?

Soft shoulder charge penealty that

He's wearing number 7 today

that's how he's getting away with it then

13 penalties in a half of rugby that wasn't exactly full of foul play.....Hicks is getting himself way too involved in this.

The one on Watkins for a 'late' hit on the kicker was a classic in awe of the Aussies decision from the ref.

Think we're getting a bit caught out on our right, Oz making loads of metres via Inglis etc.

Missing touch from a penalty (twice) is shocking from any International player, in fact from a player at any level.
It's not like it's blowing a gale.

He killed the game against the kiwis as a spectacle and he's killing this.

The Aussies have been average yet still hold a lead. You still get the feeling they have an extra gear or three to use hopefully they won't be able to find it in the second half.

two stupid penalties and one that should not have been given. twice not finding touch, once again exaction and school boy errors letting us down. we give them way too much respect. think we can pull this off though.

BTW, it was Hodgson who missed the second touch.

How do you suggest we stop inglis? if you know you should write it down and sell it to all the NRL coaches because they haven't figured it out either.
