@Disgusted-of-TW yes it was a nice and genuine gesture to the spectators and simply an inconvenient scoreline
The inconvenient scoreline was the following week with that draw. If Goldie had been penalised for holding onto the ball right on front of his posts, England could have held on to win, and I would have had a great "I was there" moment to crow about. But on the other hand I've enjoyed 22 years of pedalling " we was robbed" to anyone who'll listen, so it's swings and roundabouts

Hoiles has turned in to a very good presenter. Other panellists trying to say you can't blame the wallabies for what happened today, and he was straight back with they were beaten by plan and execution. He's not giving anyone a free pass

Getting picked on form that’s four years old.

Just astonishing that any coach would select a player that so obviously tales time and space away from his team. Especially if you want to start with urgency.

Or run a game plan based on speed

Sometimes no punchlines are necessary
Reminds me of the Rodney Marsh quote from his England debut:-
Alf Ramsey "Rodney, I'm going to have to pull you off at half time"
Marsh "Thanks boss, we only get an orange at QPR".

That word coach is used pretty loosely.
If Aus were coached they'd probably win this world cup. Helluva talented team.

Good old Rodney, he and Stan Bowles made me proud to be a Hoops fan as a kid.
Having said no punchlines necessary, I belatedly thought of a caption for that video: "Unblocking the Sinck?" L'espirit d'escalier, I think our French chums would call that.

Why is Englands game plan devoid of usingb2 of their weapons: Watson and Tuilagi? The latter was pretty much anonymous for most of the game.

I think Krusty should really stay away from the media for a while. They played "quite well" ffs

Who should they get next? I think someone who has the polar opposite temperament would be a good start. And more tactical nous

Key for me is A coach that:
Is happy to evolve and have his ideas challenged
Is pragmatic not idealistic
Is good at PR/press as Ozzieika rugby is in a bad place
