6-6 half time, still in it but dont know how! Forwards are getting mullered except for Ellis and Carvell, Wilkin looking good. Ref has been very kind to us aswell....

8-6 half time, but like you say how the hell we're still in this god only knows.

If England played like Aus did we'd have "We should have scored miles more in the first half, there's no chance we'lll win". So hopefully we'll pick up in the second half, get our fair share of the ball and let's go for it.

Doh! yeah I even watched him kick it, just have to hope that that was the famous Aussie strong start and they will fade a bit but can't see it myself.

Also a***licking quote of the season/decade...

Phil Clarke on Tomkins,

"If Sam Tomkins couldn't catch that then no one in the world could have!"

I saw he kept his mouth shout for the second one.....

Whats up with heighington, not moanin just wonderin? Also i dont think the refs too bad theyre holdin down, not square and offside all the time. I think video ref is on ohr side thankfully haha

injured

Haha yeah i couldnt help chuckle at that, must be hard to catch a bomb with clarkeys tongue in ure bum

How much are stevo n eddie licking the oz butt...it makes me sick
Yet we put a good defensive effort in and its how good the cons are at attacking....Yaaaaaaaawn

Im sure when, early on, Ryan Hall was usure as to if a kick had gone out and caught a ball in touch while it was still live could/should have been an Aus scrum?

Thought Eddie in paricular was especially partisan to us during that first half (not watched the interval).

Clarke is a cock simples!!

Over here Sterlo is saying no way a penalty try!!

Phil Clark's an utter fool,so Wigan biased he make's his self look ridiculous

Briscoe had a bloody nightmare.

Gentle needs to do some serious work on his catching. Yeamo did well in places but poor in others, certinaly not a long term International centre.

Thought Yeaman had a solid game personally; he's not an international centre but stood up well against the best side in the world. Briscoe poor tonight. More importantly in terms of the outcome of the game, our halves were completely outplayed.

Needs to look at his postioning as well as gets caught out a lot....Agree about Yeaman but no one else there.

Hope this game puts the Rangi Chase w@nkfest to bed....small fish in big pond.

Eddie Hemmings' idea on avoiding defeat to Australia - don't play them any more

Stevo is glad to see Lockyer retire so that we have a better chance of beating them



Thought that Yeamo and Briscoe showed a bit of the Hull mentality tonight. Hall's lateral run caught them both asleep and same with JJB's offload. Is it a coincidence that Leeds players expect a break from inside their own 20 yards and we don't?

Very flat performance from England , Until we get a 6 & 7 who can unlock a defence and who can turn around a team with a good kicking game , We will always be 20 + points behind the Aussies.

Eddie Hemming is an embarrassment .

To be fair to the lad....we wanted youngsters in the team instead of the same old same old..and i think he made one mistake which aint a bad effort against the likes of the "so called" "elite"

Rangi Chase playing 7. Clearly our population (60 million) cannot produce a scrum half like Aussie (17 million) can.

To be honest that's not the point. RL is not the main sport in the UK, where as it is over here in Oz. Until it's taken seriously in the UK we'll never compete with the elite.

Also why arent we all playing to the same rules? You don't see football rules changing from country to country.

RL is not the main sport in NZ either.
