England vs Australia - 01/11/25

[Protalus rampart]

England have been pretty poor in the red zone today but as a whole unit the team are definitely trending nicely compared to the last few years

Still think our decision making and tactics in their half are wrong. We are all over the Aussies and keep cocking it up.

Steward is having a really poor game, he's never been up to the pace of international rugby.

Dingwall is a brilliant prem player but he doesn't offer anything special. Love him but would rather of had max and Ollie in the centre combo.

At one point he was being openly called the first name on the team sheet by commentators.

Yep, nothing we can really do about the issues today, Dingwall and Steward basically have to play the 80.

i don't think I would start either next week, but there's not a lot choice at FB within the squad. There's also a lot to be said for looking after man-management and showing faith...

12. Ojomoh, 13. Lawrence, 15. Freeman?
Freeman at FB is barely better than Freeman at OC

 

[BPM]

The intercept was bad but I don’t recall Dingwall making any other egregious mistakes.

From what I watched Australia are fortunate to be in touch. Could easily have been 21-0.

Based on what we have seen I’d back Roebuck or Freemo to be on par if not a significant upgrade.

I know it'd be a bit silly to move him around again, but considering he started there for Saints the other week....

12. Ojomoh
13. Lawrence

15. Freeman

That’s fair having watched the game but the scoreboards what counts and what the history books remember.

We haven’t been bad, just made some bad decisions in key areas.

Still can’t get my ahead around the Kellaway clear foul play. No different to LCD against Scotland a few years back

 

[Scotty]

We got over the line twice and had a walk in if it wasn't intercepted. We are putting in some good attack and longer with Blackett as attack coach will help alot.

We are looking good tbh just not finishing it off.

Roebuck is great and a very classy player. Doesn't make many mistakes

He’s consistently excellent to be fair the only bad thing to be said for him is he plays for Sale.

 

[Groundhog]

That period where the Aussies put three big hits on England and stopping them before half will put their tails up I’d say

 

[dirty harry]

I feel like that was a decent half for England, a bit of a tighrening of some executions and theyll go well.

Worryingly Aus have negated the scrum

 

[Wasps92]

Pick and go shite.

 

[Which Tyler]

Fair play - good tackle by Freddie there

 

[TommiG88]

Ford is lucky for Roebuck

 

[dirty harry]

Roebuck really impressing me so far

 

[AlRums]

I think if potter had been on the end of that, that would probably been a try

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Love seeing Valetini play, definitely one of my favourites in the game

 

[Grizwald]

Time for some changes. England been rusty for a first hit out so cutting some slack. Aussies have really come back into it.

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

Every Aussie turnover starts with their hands on the floor.

Wild West in the breakdown.
