[November Tests 2016 EOYT] England vs. Australia (3/12/2016)

[Ddanno]

Can't build any momentum at all. Aus are well up for this, haven't seen them this fired up since 2015

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The drop off between Vunipola and Hughes is crazy.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Lawes has looked more physical than Hughes so far.

Oh for Dave Ewers.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Defence is SO passive and not a single person knows how to get a turnover.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

TBH Ewers ain't an 8 and hasn't been in the best of form this season.

Beaumont on last season form would of been good.

The drop off between Vunipola and Hughes is crazy.

Yeah but it was always going to be difficult to replace the best 8 in the world.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Defence is SO passive and not a single person knows how to get a turnover.

Mike brown has been our best Openside, with his turnover before the pocock-knockon-no-try

 

[The Jones Boy]

Wallabies are up for this and Cheika has out thought Mojo Jojo in the first half but Eddie can counter in the second.
Wallabies 16-13 up but they could have been a lot further ahead so England have done well to keep it so tight.

 

[NickBD]

After that first 20 as an England fan I'd have taken 13-16 down.

 

[Aristodemus]

Very disappointing half, we are fortunate to only be 3 points down. Aus are smashing us in contact, hopefully our bench will make a difference.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

Well either we slow them down at the ruck or we get in their faces and tackle low rather then trying to hug them. We are letting the Aussies attack as they please. On the flip side they are slowing our ball down all the time and are in our faces in defence.

 

[ratsapprentice]

TBH Ewers ain't an 8 and hasn't been in the best of form this season.

Beaumont on last season form would of been good.

Would prefer him in over Wood or Hughes, he's been injured, not out of form.

Hughes is getting dominated physically.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Would prefer him in over Wood or Hughes, he's been injured, not out of form.

Well when I last saw him play he was a bit poor.

Don't disagree.

TBH would prefer
6) Williams
7) Robshaw
8) Ewers

To this.

Yarde for Lions!!!

 

[ratsapprentice]

That's a great finish if he's got it. That's an outstanding kick.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Try time - Yarde. Great angled kick from JJ.

 

[The Jones Boy]

Marland Yarde says you lot of whingeing Poms need to shut your mouth.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good try!

Marland Yarde says you lot of whingeing Poms need to shut your mouth.

And the English say you can keep your xenophobic slurs to yourself.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Wouldn't mind seeing Sinckler come on to up the physicality.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Marland Yarde says you lot of whingeing Poms need to shut your mouth.

He still can't defend. And it had much more to do with JJ's angled kick.

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

JJ really has got the 13 shirt all to himself now, must be a good choice for the lions too.


Aaah youngs and wood... so nearly.
