    Did I just hear Pocock is off to play rugby in Australia? Where they go whaling right? Gee what an activist.

    Yards started awful, but certainly came back into it. Lawes was awesome, think Hughes did more than Vunipola does too.

    Good on Ford to come back from what was looking like going to Quadesville. Odd England didn't take the 3 when the bullshit yellow card came out, that would've shut the game down.

    Nice win, although think Aussie choked a bit. Great year England!

    Poms good but really horrible by the Wobs though. I can’t recall once when they kicked for territory or kicked to keep the Pom defence guessing. It was all a bit predictable really. Phipps and Foley have to take a bit of the blame. The Clown should fall on his tactical sword.

    Well well. 6N should come down to Ire vs Eng in Dublin, but I rate France a chance to throw a spanner in the works, although Ireland have France at home.

    The NH somewhat owned the AIs in the end, not a single signature SH display, bar Australia creaming a truly woeful Wales.

    A few thoughts before I hit the beers:
    That was never a yellow for gold 14
    Yarde took his chance well
    Ford needs to get his big boy pants on and kick his goals like Farrell
    Kepu, what pace for his try!
    Ben Youngs king of the dummy - I'd have kept him on for longer.

    agree with everything except I thought Yarde was pretty shit, had a mare against Naivalu on D in the first half.

    Not sure if we should be worried or not. England looked crap in the first half but were totally dominant in the second half. Their second half display scares me, to be honest, but they did get a huge helping hand from the officials and the wobs looked buggered. They are still a very good team and if they were to have a game against the ABs at Twickenham right now, I would not be able to call it.

    Yes England look good but like all Northern Hem teams they are so comfortable playing at home. I judge them more on the way they play away from home. So the 6 Nations (mean the 6 yawns) away games for England will tell us more. They have a mental attitude that home advantage has a bearing on the result. They love the replays on the big to makes sure the crowd gets what they want.

    Yeah and apparently June tests don't count for Nth hem teams, according to them they are SO tired 😀 after a long season.
    Aussie in June are not the same beast that played at Twickenham today (or in Dublin last week) and neither are England but Nth Hem teams have this mentality that away from home means you cant win. It all steams from there coaches and media who reinforce this by saying its ok to lose away from home in club games. I hear it week in week out with the premiership teams, Pro 12, Top 14 coaches saying that its so hard to win away from home before the game has even kicked off. This transfers to the international sides. Come in June and win regularly in the Sth hem, like we do every year up north and remember its our end of season tour, and then you will be taken seriously.

    Bloody hell, that match had me chewing my fingernails most of the way through. The only time I felt sure about the winner was during the first 20 minutes. Were Aussie that good or were we that bad? Dunno, perhaps a bit of both.

    Peyper's performance wasn't that great but also it wasn't as poor as some would suggest. He missed a few knock ons but not too many glaring errors that influenced things. Yellow card was a joke though.

    I'm surprised that Peyer and the TMO missed all of England neck roll offenses in the first half. England made their own luck which is a mark of a good side.

    The SH teams don't look as 'fresh' as in previous years. Moore was asked by the interviewer were they tired and he said "no". He was just trying not to make excuses but the reality is they did look tired.

    But its the excuse we hear year in year out during the June tours. Its the first think we hear and its already an excuse being used by the Lions. Change the record its got a big scratch and the needle is stuck

    The teams are tired. I don't like it being used as a excuse. And luckily it isn't.

    Hell of a year to be a pommy rugby supporter, didn't see the game but if reports are anything to go by if England had their shit together in the first 20 it could have been an absolute shocker for Australia.
    Krusty has coached his team to 6 wins from 15 games this year, there must be rumours in aussie about him getting the axe soon?

    It has to be said, our record of 18 wins is under genuine threat now, will seem a bit hollow though if they get there without playing the ABs you would think ...... no fault of theirs though.

    It really doesn't matter if they do get more than 18 wins it doesn't prove anything as it doesn't prove a lot with us. If they do well done to them. But I couldn't give a Fcuk but the media will think its like Zeus has returned and is playing for England.
