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

It was egregious from Salakai-Loto.

I think the tackle in the air on Jorgensen would have needed to be pretty ugly and dangerous for it to trump the penalty we'd already given away.

I think JAS was almost taken out in the air too which I don't think got looked at either. It was one of the highlight reels - JAS caught it in the air, and a POM made initial contact while in the air and completed tackle on the ground.

I think everyone was too busy being stunned by his stupidly sexy offload.

No, you can never watch enough angles of this try:

Magnificent. The daring they showed and the skill to execute that last movement is hopefully an indicator of the development of this team.

This is the best one.

The passes from Donaldson > McReight > Ikitau is bloody naughty.

Boss is wondering what all the heavy breathing and sweating is about.

Watching it again this morning, I feel Donaldson and McReight aren't getting enough credit for their work in that sequence.

Absolutely. I said to my boy last night watching the highlights: watch McReight there (and Donno). Elite hands across the line, just like England's first try.

Yes was thinking that also. And I thought Donaldson displayed plenty of composure and vision at the end there to calmly organise his team before pulling the trigger to send the ball wide.

Gits and AAC (Adam Ashley-Cooper) (Adam Ashley-Cooper) were saying on the KOKO show this week that the Japanese preseason is massive. By the sounds of it, players in Japan should be the fittest in the world.

I’ve heard that from a mate who played there
Pre season is insane and players are fit but pretty fucked when the season rolls around which somewhat explains the shorter season

The Ghost … too true …on loop!

It’s Donaldson.. ….taps on to McReight…. a short pass to Ikitau… Ikitau …he sucks in two…..flicks to Jorgo…My God it’s Jorgo.. this man is Jorgo…. TRY!!
A try for the ages….. AND …. It was to beat the Poms on their home turf…. WHEN they thought they had won it moments before…it does not get any better….!
All 23 played their part….lets keep doing the simple things well young Wallabies. Go you good things!

It was delicious. especially after that last tour down under where the whole England team was screaming like they won after every knock on.

My thanks to the wallabies I have had almost a whole week of dining on english tears

 

[footy1>31]

have to say Sean Maloney bottled the call of the last try; didn't realise he was in space until the wide shot. not his fault, definitely stan's for not having him at the game and doing it from a studio. once in a generation moment so he'd be kicking himself imo

I thought Robbie did a nice job with this piece.

I'm curious to see how the Wallabies attack Wales this weekend... and more-so to see how Wales respond to where they are at.
