June International Test: Australia vs. England [2nd Test] (18/06/2016)

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Brown practically threw that forwards.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Foley and Phipps are just about as bad as Genia and Cooper for me. Surely Australia can come up with a better halves pairing than these two.

TBF in open play Foley's excellent, he just can't kick. At all. If Lilly was on to kick goals, Foley would look a much stronger option.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

That pitch is terrible!

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Lineout givin. Zero platform

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Youngs stitched Haskell right up there.

Robshaw stepped by a THP. Embarrassing for him.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Youngs stitched Haskell right up there.

But then again you could say England lineout stitched Youngs up.
Although should never have thrown it.

Good defensive start by england

YC for Robshaw

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

What a specimen Cole is. True athlete's body.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

I love when Kruis and Maro double tackle someone,
Kruis grabs their legs then Maro just smashes them in the chest

 

[TommiG88]

Handbags, give the pen to aus.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Bloody Hell Robshaw, what are you doing there?

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Brown going at Kepu and getting thrown like a rag doll was easily the best part of that!!

 

[Which Tyler]

YC for Robshaw

Moore as well - wonder how many penalty reversals he's thinking of

 

[j'nuh]

Great refereeing.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Really harsh that but understand it.

Cheika might have done more damage going to the ref meeting yesterday

 

[Mrs. Peter Quinn]

Reversing penalties is stupid. Allows actual rugby related offences to go unpunished

 

[austingtir]

Im not good at math but 2 is a higher number than 1 is it not. Its a travesty England didnt get a penalty there. All kinds of grubby stuff going on in that kerfuffle

Don't agree really. Australia had the penalty and should have left it at that. They chose to react in the way they did.

 

[Pieter Steph du Teague]

Dodgy from Faz, good tackle Brown

 

[TommiG88]

How did he cancel the play on there from the aus knock on?

We went backwards

Yeah, if you can't produce a card it shouldn't be an overruling factor in situations like that.
