Agreed. He is a leader on the field but not great with refs and not great with making decisions. A solid Captain would be nice. Moore is he is even worse with ref's, he seems to irritate them easily. Plus I feel he is very emotional at times - easily gets into niggle. Not an very inspiring...

Fardy needed to be subbed too. He was stuffed with 20mins to go.

TPN was a great injection.

Our Forwards were so buggered though, Seems like we don't have the fitness advantage anymore either. Or maybe it's just a result of playing so many phases without any rewards.

Yep I thought Hooper did a lot of the hard yards tonight, He was hitting it up when no-one else would, hitting rucks with urgency. In terms of general play, he was the leader on the field. Probably should have been Captain - but then he makes stupid calls to kick to corner instead of taking...

Agreed, If he loves Foley so much at least he could have taken Kuridrani off. Kerevi and Falou the only players looking like making a break.

Amazed Cheika didn't bring Frisby on earlier.

Scrubber.. you have left me with a bittersweet feeling. Poor McMahon could not beat Poey's run metres. The weak weak little back-rower he is. McMahon 13 Metres. Pocock 19 Metres. Care for some humble pie?

Horne was invisible apart from 1 good defensive read and tackle in the first half.Might as well drop him too ;)

Not sure To'omua is fit enough after injury. And Lilo has had 2 games with a decent amount of game time with little effect - plus poor super xv form. As bad as Foley was tonight, We dont really have any other options. Lilo will be a big call by Cheika.

So exactly what I stated. Finally make the right tactical decision but failed to execute correctly and failed to communicate it to the rest of team - or anyone in the team.

Great post Gnostic. We simply don't have the brains to adapt to the situation. We have one game-plan and an inability to get the whole team to quickly change strategies. Eg. A chip kick behind the very fast defensive line. I think DHP tried it once - by himself. Where was the one from Foley...

Tactically we don't have the intelligence to do it. And when we do we have no chasers or execute poorly. We need a god damn kicking coach.

I certainly have mixed feelings about Cheiks. But look at the major problem of the halves - what can he do change that? I think every test coach would have selected Phipps and Foley - there are no other options. And they blew it horribly. Lilo maybe the only other option but he wasn't any better.

And for everyone saying what a performance England made, just think how little they attacked, or really did. All they did was kick high balls and kick to the corners, defend well. VERY SIMPLE. We can be beaten so easily or the opposition team needs to do is kick well.

Nah I think Folau, Kerevi and Hooper and TPN were good.

Nah that's 2 in a row from Fardy. He should be in trouble.

That's uncalled for mate. And he has a point though doesn't he. Performances like that alienate fans.

Phipps and Foley - utterly terrible. Sure Foley can run, but that is literally all he can do. He should never ever try and kick the ball, or pass it. He was terrible. Phipps sloppy passing, I never noticed how bad it actually was until tonight Fardy - too many errors. Kuridrani, Carter...

They deserve it. We can't defend agains the high-ball. We've had multiple 5+, 10+ phases without looking like making a break.
