Wallabies v England, Sat 11th June, 8.00pm, Suncorp Brisbane

[Slim 293]

DHP forces a pass to Kerevi and it's lost.

England go over in the corner.

The offload from DHP was ok........ Two English tries from Kerevi's handling tonight.........

 

[Ash]

Shame DHP forced that pass at the end there, thought he was the best of debutants and he had a strong game all round.

Creative play from Ford to get that last try.

 

[biggsy]

thanks foley you iceman.

 

[TOCC]

School of thought that it sets up to win with a try

The rules in regards to the full time buzzer are conducive to a team winning with a PG rather then a try

 

[maxdacat]

omigod what just happened?

 

[Chris McCracken]

I hate to say this, but it was about more disciplined execution of the gameplan.

I didn't say I agreed with it. Just explained why. I see it happening a lot

 

[ACR]

Better scrum from the Wallabies.

That's not the greatest call from Hooper in my ball. 3.5 minutes left, 2 minutes to kick.

I'd play for the draw first.

Yay, we agree. Definitely go for try. Better chance of draw and more options to win if you do draw level (or within 2).

 

[CatchnPass]

Never thought I'd live to see eddy jones and Mark Ella jubilant over poms beating the wobs

 

[biggsy]

Cheika did a Dean's..... Bad sub's

Nah mate, unnecessary no look offload from DHP, and the first try was Kerevi trying to clean up someone else's mistake

 

[boyo]

The poms in the pubs will be appalling

Yeah but a try would have taken time, there would have likely no chance for a restart, where there was with the penalty.

I watch Rugby from all over the world. There are a hundred ways to win a game of Rugby. I like them all. I'd suggest broadening your horizons.

I'm from a place where the norm is to play the simple rugby, boring rugby, tactic rugby or whatever you call it. For that reason I admire the running rugby and that's the reason why Super Rugby is my favourite rugby tournament.

To watch tactic rugby I can watch: "Georgia vs Romania"

Wallbies have plenty to work on, but at their best they are a better team than England. 4 tries to 3 to the Wallabies with a soft try to England at the death. Plenty of missed conversions by Gold. That hurts. Neither side had advantage in the scrums but the penalties flowed against Gold. The replacements did well.

 

[Houndi]

Australia will win the series easily, we lost this one on the injuries and the poor goalkicking.

 

[TOCC]

Yeah but a try would have taken time, there would have likely no chance for a restart, where there was with the penalty.

In which case a draw would have been better then a loss, Cheikas reaction seemed to indicate he wasn't happy with the choice either

Bit of hypocrisy there Slim, jumping to Sio's defence but free to dish it out to others? Overall, I thought that Kerevi had a better game than Sio, despite his part of that first English try.

That ball was always a low percentage play, hard to criticise a player dropping that at 79 minutes. And we should have reformed to stop the try.

I could also point to the mess that Sio had at the scrums along with a key dropped ball 3m from the England line that had a large part in our loss, but really we should have overcome all of those things with the start we had.

Disappointing game. Plenty of positives, but we got outplayed.

 

[disco]

Some really dumb rugby from the Wallabies tonight they really gifted England that win.
England scored one try that they earnt basically just like ths Scotland game except we didn't sneak.
Honeymoon is over Cheika time to show them the ugly side.

Perhaps league is your game. I'll keep watching Rugby. Now, in the interests of observing the laws of arguing on the internet, I will now concede the argument to you.

Rugby Union should be more like Rugby League. There you go - winner!
