    I'd be very pleased to see this happening, but where do you think the funds come from?

    I dont at all follow mungo, though I do respect their athletes. All the same, did Marky-Mark make his professional NRL debut for the Kangaroos against, I dont know, what is the equivalent of England at Twickers?

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    I would not swap Tate for any other 9 at the Reds but I can't disagree with this. More than this, Gordon's service, especially before the blood bin, was superb. Crisp, accurate in control.

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    It will be interesting to see how Schmidt adjusts selection, if he does. I love Kerevi, but after England I'd be holding the starting backline as is to try to build more cohesion between centres and back three. The connection was great but think how it could go with familiarity. I don't see...

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    More muscle and mass. More impact in the rucks he does hit. More penetration over the gain line when it comes together. But mostly as you say, Sully, less.

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    Geez, molman, you think I haven't worked that out? We had two jumpers out there today, not three. It suggests that there is not a jumping skillset within the trained preferred back row. At least not currently. As usual, the issue with Skelton is that you need a game plan around him in the set...

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    We were up against a very good English line out who did (mostly) attack our throws. I thought a couple of throws managed to get over the English jumper and hit our guy. But we did drop a few. Hopefully incremental improvements continue with the set piece generally. In the mean time making...

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    Our line out wasn't as good as it should be today with our two preferred jumpers. Squeezing in Skelton will be interesting.

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    Really what I want from Tupou above all else is the scrum, after that start with simply "do no damage". Bell often frustrates me being great around the park but less so in the scrum - today though his field was so good (MOTM for me) I'd live with it. It was frustrating that the broadcast did not...

    Ha ha! Paraphrasing the last question from Googs: Googs: That's what we want to see, is the Wallabies fighting back to take it in extra time... Schmidt: Yeah... that's not what I want to see. :p

    England v Wallabies, Twickenham, Sun 10th Nov 2:10AEDT / 1:10AEST

    With great frustration I got up this morning to check my phone for the time - and had a Goole news announcement giving me the result. <groan> All the same, I think that was the most enjoyable game of rugby I have watched since following the Reds in 2011. Here's an unorganised reaction. Ikitau...
