Australia v England - 1st Test

Weird game. Great heart from Oz and outstanding leadership from Michael Hooper. Looks like this will be a tight series.

If Sonny Bill is getting paid to conduct these interviews, then it must be the easiest money in sports TV history.
He’s having a laugh!

Game started off as a snore-fest and became a classic. Bloody well done Oz. Eddie has some serious thinking to do.
Gonna grab some popcorn and head over to social media to enjoy the reaction.
I really disagree this is a classic.
Well maybe not a classic in the sense of a great game with flowing rugby, But as an enthralling watch, particularly the second half, it was pretty damn good.
Whereas I see this as really poor rugby throughout. Yes there was heart, and if this was outer Mongolia versus Iraq, I think that's a great game. But for two supposed rugby tier 1s? Nope

Love being able to use "yous" in a professional setting

Smith was seriously underwhelming at 10 for England.
Who?
-
Considering he's been hailed as the Next Big Thing, he was awful tonight.
Either he had an off-day, and will learn, or he really is over-hyped crap.
-
Haha, they just showed that ruck again that was a couple of metres out from the England try line and it was so clearly a penalty against Oz because the tackler (Fainga’a) not only sealed off and didn’t roll away, but then stood up in the middle of it. Hilarious.
Hooper’s timing and ability to pounce on that breakdown was excellent regardless.

Marcus Smith is Danny Cipriani from wish by the way

The wing with the most English name ever scores one back
That try was very Izzy Dagg
Cracking try

I’ll just put this out there - England could’ve won if Farrell made his kicks 😉

Care, Smith, Farrell doesn’t work
Neither does alternating first receiver
Pick one and select specialist centres

Ultimately England lost to a 14 man Australia and made a spirited comeback against 13
But if Eddie parks his ego and picks the best team they could easily stuff Australia next week
