That is a high quality English team! As far as the Wallabies go Phipps' pass was woeful and Foley's decision making and execution was dreadful. The wallaby stand out players were Folau and Kerevi along with the double barrelled surnamed winger and Fardy for the first 60 minutes. Hooper put in a strong game but we need an 8 to cart it up rather than Hooper and Slipper. Horne adds nothing on the wing. Worst call of the night was taking Kerevi off - yes put LILO on but Foley was the man needing to be hooked!

I always be a proudly Union supporter. I'm just talking about the ugly truth, the casual supporters don't watch Super Rugby or NRC games. They only watch the big games, and the Wallabies have lost big games systematically in the last 10 years coincidentally with the loss of popularity of the code

Nah, going down to Samoa 32-23 8 weeks out from the 2011 world cup was worse.

I can't be bothered saying anything too much about this shite.
1.The Wallabies have had more than enough ball to win two test matches.
2.The kicking from hand has again been F^%$^& abysmal. F^%$^& you ARU and Australian rugby coaches. It is a F%^%^%$$ skill that is required to be a complete team. F%$#$% idiots!!!
3.I won't even bother talking about selection and personnel. I doubt anybody else brings much more to the table.
4. Handling errors. Just school boy stuff. You'd think it was a basic skill of the game. Oh, wait who teaches that shit now....... Have I said F%$%^& idiots yet?
5. The Melbourne surface is an utter disgrace. That is just shit. I have seen school ovals prepared better. In fact I'd bet the oval in Broken Hill is better than that shit. Basically no major match should be held in Melbourne again until they provide a field that meets at least the basic standard. What an embarrassment.
6. Jourbert and Owens and whoever was the idiot in the TMO box. That was perhaps one of the worst refereeing performances I have seen. Just woeful. If that is the best you can do hand up the boots and whistle. Robshaw neck roll on Phipps doesn't even get him a talking to by the ref. refered to Hartley the dirtiest player since Richard Loe, as if he gives a shit. Played offside and gets the ABs special multiple warnings and to cap it off calls Foley for obstruction which was called up to start with for a shoulder charge by Farrell.
7. Next week, well Chieka should throw the baby out with the bathwater IMO and drop Moore and Fardy to start with. Try something different because no matter how you spin it, the Wallabies were not in it in fact I called the game to a mate at 30 minutes and it went to script. A one trick pony (as the Tahs showed in 2015) falls apart when its trick gets countered.

Our halves certainly had poor games. Phipps probably should have been subbed sooner, as his passing was getting more and more ragged the more tired he got. Foley really does miss that second playmaker I think. His struggles with the boot are well documented as well. Hooper on the other hand was a colossus. The amount of hard dirty metres he got in close was monumental.
We've got some very hard selection decisions to make I think and also about our game plan. Eddie has out coached his mate here and that stings even more.

Australia has been playing the same predictable, robotic style of footy for 15 years. Combine that with poor discipline and poor decision making and you're going to have a bad time.

It was no where near the worst I have seen. Not even in the worst 20.
Bit of an over reaction?
Should have taken the points on offer
Phipps threw some howlers at inopportune times
No direction in the midfield - Miss Beale and Gits
Rookie second row and a midget back row
Very poor handling at times
Wrong selection at 8
English defense and determination outstanding.
They fully deserve this win.
We will be back and probably with a different looking side in the RC
Congratulations England.

We were certainly predictable this evening. Playing bash and barge is not our best footy. Creating angles of running and support play is and we just didn't do that.
Fuck I hate losing to England.

We should have beaten them.
I'm gonna say it - Cheiks is overrated. Had a cinderella season last year with the wallabies and this is the shit he serves up this year. Should never have let McKenzie quit DELETED - not going here again.

If he left because of Graham, he would have taken the Rebels contract would be a good guess.

An incredible accomplishment considering, as the commentators mentioned, they've been playing for 12 months solid.
Also re-affirms Eddie Jones' indisputable genius.
