Foley kicks the goal, 18 - 17 to the Wallabies at half time.

Quick hands to DHP one the wing, and Hooper is tracking back on the wing a few metres back. I just don't get that attack pattern, makes little sense to me. To'omua finally with a well executed high ball to Folau within metres of the try line, but the English winger manages to steal it from...

Horne is very very good defensively, but for me he's not really a winger. Can't kick well, and doesn't get through enough work on attack, he needs to go looking for the ball more. Incidentally, I also have the same criticism on Morahan normally (about needing to get more involved). You can...

At least our scrum is looking really strong again, putting huge pressure on the English scrum. Simmons injured in a tackle and loses the ball to Vunipola. Looks like Simmons is gone, his right arm is hanging by his side. Looks like Simmons'arm got twisted by Vunipola.

I thought that the cleanout (Simmons and ?) did well enough to get him off the ball when Itoje is so strong over it, then Itoje rucked through and forced the mistake from Phipps.

Decent waves of attack, Foley tries a chip but it's poor and too far across field. Well over. Luckily England immediately lose the ball and we get it back. Foley's kicking is a bit (lot?) off tonight, might be better keeping up the distribution.

Foley connected well, that ball went over 50m, but it started left and stayed left.

Moore trying to have a chat with Owens, but sent back. Owens gives Coles and England a warning for offside. Owens instructing Moore not to call for a yellow. Foley to take a shot at goal about 44m out, 25m or so in.

Have to say, that was a really poor clearance from Foley. Kicked right down the middle, gave England either side with their choice of attack, and Youngs read the short Wallaby defence beautifully. Watson then chipped over, Brown reclaimed. DHP also lucky, as he definitely kept moving into...

England trying to play a more high tempo attack, but it's a bit messy. Youngs again makes fools of the pillar and post but Robshaw loses it. Foley kicks downfield, but it's average. England chip over the top, Brown takes it, try!!

Looks like a yellow for mine, Skelton was going for the ball but then he switched to a tackle with his arm. Owens wants just a penalty though. Really lucky I think.

This may be bye bye Skelton.

Hooper and McMahon early a great penalty. Hooper with a fantastic chase off the kick off, and McMahon gets over the top. Right in front of the goal, Foley will surely kick this.

Scrum lottery goes against the Wallabies this time, as they try a shove and it just goes down. Looks like England took off their weight and the entire Wallaby front row went down. Farrell duly converts.

Slipper needs to get Moore to have a quiet word in the ref's ear that Coles is rolling his shoulder in every scrum.

Thought Kepu was plenty offside, but Owens only calls a knock on. Luck there.

Foley misses from out wide, 12 - 7 after 22 minutes. Pretty frenetic start.

For mine, Hooper looks so much better midfield hitting it up off short pops using his speed and low centre of gravity than he does loitering out on the wing. I don't think it's great use of the flankers on attack, sitting on the wing.

DHP in!!

England scrum under huge pressure. Youngs with a mistake from the ensuing ruck but cleans up.
