[RWC2019][Quarter-Final 1] England vs. Australia (19/10/2019)

[The_Wol]

Sadly I'm working so probably won't get to watch the match live which is **** poor planning on my behalf.

Poor planning, My Mrs does drag racing and I'll be out in bum **** nowhere all weekend helping her race. Hopefully I can get mobile reception and watch on my phone.

Good luck...with the reception.

I agree, although your backline's not too flash tbf.

Kerevi and MK aside it's shite.

Both good players, I really meant collectively. Famous last words, probably tear us a new one now.

Hodge at 15? And you got the props mixed up. Hooper is also in better form that Pocock.

Props I'll give you that, I never pay attention to whose on what side. I'm a halfback who for 10 years didn't even know what side I was supposed to be on to feed.

Hodge has a good boot but it too slow on the wing, he gets turned around and out paced easily. Put him at the back where he can shut down an attack he's a solid tackler when he's not doing questionable shoulder charges, He also has a good eye for a gap. perfect for him to join the line when he see's fit.
Pocock is still a massive target for other teams they'll target him all night and tire themselves out in the rucks, Hooper comes on when they're tired and injects pace into the forwards game running riot against the tired Englishmen, Personally brushing off a tackle from Joe Marler and Kyle Sinclair causing Eddie Jones to swear on camera as we get a quick view of the coaches box.

HAHAHAHAHA Stop itttttttt

 

[Pom in Exile]

HAHAHAHAHA Stop itttttttt

 

[Derpus]

We have Skeen

We have SkeenView attachment 7667

Okay never mind my team. We're ******.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Jerome Garces announced as ref

 

[Derpus]

Okay never mind my team. We're ******.

Game over before a ball is kicked.

 

[donmcdazzle]

I'm surprised Garces got this game. Thought O'Keeffe would have been a good shout after the Scotland / Japan game.

Garces probably suits the English better right?

Appointing Skeen as TMO almost seems a deliberate move to anger Cheika. Honestly how can they in good faith appoint this guy to the knockout games, he has been genuinely awful in every game he has been part of.

 

[bushytop]

Didn't porn get outlawed in England at some point?

Here we go again!

 

[TommiG88]

Garces is good for no team. He's random and decides on the day what he will and will not penalise.

Hopefully Skeen is not required. Terrible TMO

 

[Goodey]

Of course you're going to object to the refereeing if you go in assuming it's going to be terrible.

You can pretty much always find the odd decision you don't like and if you go in determined to find it then you're going to have a miserable game.

Maybe just effing watch a game of rugby. How is that hard?

Have you ever seen a game officiated by Garces and TMO'd by Skeen?
