RWC 2019 1/4 Final England vs Australia

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

3-4 22 exits which should’ve been kicks. Should’ve taken the points instead of that scrum.
Knock on sums it up

 

[Derpus]

Thank the merciful gods above Cheika is gone. Thank. Fuck.

 

[molman]

Beside Kerevi no loss.

I think Arnold can hold his head up.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

I feel for hodge as not a winger but in absence of another quality winger to match Koro you select hodge - hence ra pursuing storm Fijian winger makes pretty clear open and shut case why

 

[Viking]

I don't think beales positives are worth the negatives but I don't blame him for a speculator with 4 min to go and down by 17

Beale did well tonight... that last pass was playing catch-up rugby, can't blame him for that.

I feel Genia the worste tonight... put us behind and then we are playing catch-up rugby and mistakes/poor handling came into play.

 

[Ignoto]

Hopefully there’s a journo in the post game interview who’ll ask Cheika what he was thinking with that clearing game plan.

 

[Adam84]

Yep seriously

You'll be one of the few to say Petaia had a bad game tonight, and even one of the fewer who struggle to see the potential and excitement about Petaia.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Cmon finishers!!!! We’re still in this

Maybe not

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Agree. Genia has 30 mins in him. Lilo made too many errors. Rodda and others more important in the second row. Kerevi a loss but TK can up his game. New coach is honestly the answer.

 

[Adam84]

Beside Kerevi no loss.

Kerevi and Arnold, but agree about the rest

 

[shanky]

Genia’s two-step shuffle cost us that first half. Tackled behind the gain line on every ruck

Only Cheika would have thought he was in better form than White

Laughable.

 

[dru]

Two very physical teams. One with a territory game.

Slaughter.

Hopefully there’s a journo in the post game interview who’ll ask Cheika what he was thinking with that clearing game plan.

........"Plan?...What plan?"

 

[Viking]

Positives:

Petaia for the future

Genia's little shuffle dance was doing my head in

 

[Derpus]

Petaia and MK were the only saving graces. Both brillo.

tbh i disagree. he had some nice runs but it looked like playing for the highlight reels.

a good game would have demanded the ball to boot it out as far as fucking possible in our 22. or booting it behind the english backs to pin them down in their 22.

 

[Silverado]

I was so looking forward to this. They just got outplayed. V tough to watch

 

[molman]

Positives:

Petaia for the future

And MK still signed on with Aussie rugby.. and some forwards who are young enough to keep developing..

 

[Sir Arthur Higgins]

Also. Restarts to the center every time. Fuck.
