Need to calm it down, it's only the twenty third minute.

How the Aussies haven't been penalised for holding yet I don't know

We're trying to force the passes when there's no need, times like this just slide it in goal and make sure we keep the ball.

Well done Yeaman.

Great tackle.

Never enough angle on that kick, good idea though.

Chase just cost us 6 points.

His kick didn't have any conviction to it. He's played well so far, but that was very poor.

That was a forward pass.

Pathetic attempt of a tackle by Heighington on Williams, he should know better than to go high on a powerful player like that playing his club rugby in Oz.
After a great 1st 20 mins we are now well and truely on the back foot.
Hang on great try by Hall get in there.

Heighington was more to blame for me. Need to stay strong here.

GET IN!!!!!!

Jesus! thank god we have tomkins. Good try

Fantastic work again from Hall. Thoroughly deserved.

For me, if more effort had been put into the kick - which was a nice idea done badly - we wouldn't have been in that position.


Quality try by Hall then. Good pass from Wilkin and play by Tomkins & Reed, great finish by Hall.

Awesome Try

Superb try. Hall absolutely showing his finishing class

Very good half from England. Enjoyable 40 minutes v Aus for once.

Problem with having a southern Mrs, just got into a lot of trouble for excessive shouting.

Heighington hasn't contributed anything that 10+ Englishmen couldn't. Pretty obvious that he's only in the team because of his accent.

Aus execute well but they are a lucky set of 2wats sometimes. Every single pass that goes to ground bounces in their favour, and it was never back to 6 for the first try.

England 57% territory and set completion rate 11% higher than Aus.

We needed that, this is a winnable game ATM.

They are lucky to be in front.

If Burgess had been available I'd have had him at LF. He's an automatic pick there for me. Would have picked SoL infront of Heighington, too. Unfortunately, both are unavailable.
However, I don't think that he's been bad. He's been okay, not outstanding, but not poor at all.

Heighington isn't having a bad game, he's just being outshone by the rest. Don't think anyone is having a 'bad' game, but Chase and Tomkins are head and shoulders ahead.

Next try decides the winner IMHO
