Australia 27 vs England 17 FT

[TRF_Olyy]

NOOOOOOO
Damn, thought there was a try there,
Good to see Youngs getting them hitting the ball at pace now, instead of just pick and drive

 

[TRF_Cymro]

England threw away another chance there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

OMG, so close for Ashton!
Argh, so tense

Scrum now, England put in
Haskell on for Moody

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Easter on till the end ... bad times

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Good decision by Owens to show the yellow there.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Penalty try coming i reckon, Aussie scrum down to 7
Wilson on for Payne

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Controversial that Nige ...

Another Penalty Try for England.

 

[Thingimubob]

2nd penalty try - was coming when Faainga got binned, interesting finish now!

 

[King_D'Arcy]

Well played by England.

 

[Jake Heke]

Wow, another penalty try from the scrum, England can't simply win by the scrum, they need to pick their ****** balls up an pass the ball.

 

[durbutter]

England should win this, play simple rugby and they should.

Then again their defence has been **** so i can see Oz scoring

 

[TRF_Olyy]

England should just throw the ball forwards, and scrum they're way down the pitch

If O'Connor gets this then a draw is all we can really hope for =/

Wilkinson and Tait warming up to come on

 

[Feicarsinn]

The contrast of styles in this game is fascinating. Pure power against speed and agility.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Wow, another penalty try from the scrum, England can't simply win by the scrum, they need to pick their ****** balls up an pass the ball.

Why not? It's got them right back into the game, it could easily go on and win it for them.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wilkinson on for Tindall?

Odd move, where's he going to play?
I'd have him 10, Flood 12, Hape 13


England scrum in the aussie half

If this goes to 24 - 24, then either side wins with a DG the papers are going to go mad

 

[Wally]

Only England could score two tries without ever crossing the try line. Apart from the obvious scrum dominance I think the Poms have been very ordinary. It's not often you would expect a side to get a win with absolutely no scrum but that is the difference in the quality of the backs and go forward ball.

 

[Feicarsinn]

England have been very uncreative in Oz's 22, probably don't deserve to win. Aside from exploiting an inexperianced Aussie front five, they were very ordinary.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That's it, Australia win
27 - 17

England are very lucky that the scores were that, our defence was shocking, and if Australia hadn't knocked on so much in the first half they could've had an extra 2 tries, or more

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Oz did well tonight.

 

[Feicarsinn]

Why did the Australian commentator randomly say "there's a try on here" when there was nothing of the sort on?
