That video has been removed when I tried to link it. Shenanigans

Dodgy use of the overhead cam. The sand went nowhere near Haskells eyes as the side view clearly shows.

That's the second match where Phipps has looked out on his feet with plenty to go on the clock. I'm not sure why that should be, but when your halfback is stuffed it's hard to play an up-tempo game. I'd have to watch the match again to get a better idea (and I won't), but I think Fardy...

Is this website getting DDOSed? Having trouble connecting

I bet Eddie rotates half his team next week, just for the lolz.

So does that drop us to third or 4th in the rankings? 5th?

Did we chip even once behind the defensive line to keep them honest? I don't recall it.

Well that hurt to watch. Monica Bellucci could've flashed her boobs from the sidelines and I still wouldn't watch the replay.

Well England have their revenge. And true to form we'll probably take the last match at a canter, when it doesn't matter at all.

No answer from Aus to the rush defence.

I doubt we'll see a return of the success of the anti-Marler campaign this time around. The last time England were strong prospects to make it to the finals due to their hosts status and favourable draw (well, favourable for pool of death). Every country in with a shot at a finals berth (most...

I can't tell from the overhead view who actually hits the ground first, and the side footage is from the wrong side. I'll leave it to the front rowers to explain what actually happened, but I don't think Sio in his heart of hearts would feel too hard done by there. The destabilisation of the...

A prop going backwards that fast is always going to fall afoul of Poite. Who technically hit the ground first isn't going to matter. If it wasn't actually Sio's side it was a photo finish.

I posted pics of that scrum on the scrum talk thread in the rugby discussion subforum. The problem was definitely on Sio's side. The scrum is at 53:25 on the clock. There's an overhead view replay after Sio is sent off. Here's the replay (who knows how long it'll stay up). The scrum happens...

Also worth noting that the post-RWC exodus never hurts them, only us. Any changes they make are generally voluntary.

If anyone wants to watch the scrums on the replay (I dunno how to upload videos) the times they are is 34:20, 35:07, 39:10, 50, 50:49, 52:40, 53:25. Not sure why you'd want to but if you do. A quick glance at youtube shows a full match replay here:

Yeah he did, but I don't understand why Sio didn't adapt to it. 7 scrums and he was still binding low on Cole's super-stretchy jersey. Surely Cole's binding wasn't that impregnable? I don't know what other shenanigans were going on but the images are all up for the front-rowers union to...

Worth mentioning we had ascendancy in the remaining 2 scrums with 5 new front rowers on. Slipper's bind:

7th scrum, yellow card to Sio. Again no sign of Sio's hand on Cole's back. Compare that to the pom LH's on the other side:

Bit hard to tell what happened there from the wrong side, but I can't see Sio's hand anywhere on Cole's back so seems likely he had a dodgy bind again. Poite: "The issue is on your side. We didn't play any scrum. Juzz be careful now, from now. We want to play scrum fairly. Stable feed and...
