I'm not even going to bother trying to get any sleep now. Whatever that does to my body it was worth it!
At least you can watch the battle of the Pool A minnows starting now. #ENGvURU

Was it done by fucking Twitter again? Thought he was good apart from a couple of brain farts.Gareth Davies got MoM
England did it in NZ before they won in 2003. Very impressive then, very impressive now. Still think Aus are beatable however.The takeaway from tonite is no more and no less than holding outt a tier 1 team for nearly 10 minutes with 2 men warming the pine.
I have seen it at super level, cant remember it at test level.
Thats something special, it will give the team huge self belief of ability under pressure.
Payten (rightly) says this is getting ridiculous. Adds that he's not against someone from the losing team getting it but he needs to be a standout.

Aussie really lucky in that game.
The sight of Giteau's headgear running around the field makes me feel safe at nightI must commend Giteau on his performance as well, he has provided some brilliant experience and composure to the backline. The number of times he has dived on a loose ball or cleaned up a pass that was aimed at his shoe laces the past few games has been incredible.
When you look at the opposition that NZ have played against compared to to Australia this is a very telling stat. I must admit that I didn't enjoy watching this match live as much as I did the one last week (butthole pucker factor) but I have calmed down a little since the match and it is now sinking in what an amazing performance that was.I think one of the most defining stats is that we came out of the pool of death with only 35 points (and only 2 tries) scored against us. Even NZ in the pool of laughter conceded 49.
The above video shows there's nothing in it.... period.
Nothing in that. He was being held back and freed himself. Should have been a penalty against Wales

Aussie really lucky in that game. How Wales didn't score once while Aus were down to 13 boggles my mind. Even the most basic move is just shoving the scrum to the blindside, having the eight man pick the ball up and you'd have at least a two,possibly three man overlap. Awful.
That said Australia's defence was spectacular. One of the best defensive shifts I've seen in some time.
They won't send the B team out but I think they'd see that it's a good time to let a few players get over their injuries. Expect pocock and Folau and possibly giteau to be restedwhat happens now - "B" team next or play as much with the same lineup - subject to availability?
