Australia v England: Match III, SCG, Sat 16th July 7.55pm AEST

Yep, win this game and we’re on the right path. Lose it convincingly and we’re back where we were.

If we lose, or even draw, we are lower down the ranking than before England got here. If we win, we'll be just about where we started.

A win is required. Minimum outcome.

What if its a close game and we lose by a small margin?

Depends on the manner of the loss in my view. If we get bashed up and shamble our way to a close result I won't be happy. If we go full tilt and front up to England and it's the bounce of a ball or something similar I'll live with it.

Ireland have shown NZ the dangers of not being on your game. Wallabies need to respond to the England challenge and say not in our house mate. Have they got the mongrel to throw England out the door? I'm not so sure.

We haven't really had "mongrel" for some time. We've shown some good fight with tough asks (playing down 1-2 men) in recent years, but mongrel is not a word I would associate with Oz rugby in ages.

great atmosphere building, plenty of gold in the stadium

Mmmm....where can we find some mongrel for the Wallabies. You've either got it or not. Pretenders will be found out.

What is it with Wallabies supporters. It's all scarves. Hardly anyone wears the jumper?

It’s cold at the stadium, and jackets go over jerseys.

Also $30 for scarf versus $160 for jersey

I think White has plenty of mongrel, easily enough to punch way above his weight. And he's a genuine pest.

 

[Confucius Say]

SBW is just disgraceful. Adds no colour or insight.

- wallabies need physicality bro
- they need to start well bro

No shit Sherlock.

zero charisma, struggles for anything less the a heavily biased opinion on players or teams, just horrible

You only need to buy a jumper once. Lasts plenty of years. It's the mindset of us Australian's. Certainly no sea of Gold at the SCG.

Genuine tear jerker in the pre-match

This is the best pre-match I’ve seen

Wonderful moment for Goog

And a savage follow up from Horan

 

[Rebel man]

Loved getting a former indigenous wallaby to do the welcome to country

 

[Derpus]

Let's go boys.

 

[Equalizer]

England won the anthem battle. Opera.singer sounds more English than the English.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Excellent Welcome To Country.
