Smith and Porter with bad misses in defence vs Aus just being daft. It's a race to the bottom!



He gave Hill! a high pass under similar pressure to go forward earlier, I'm not sure he does, at least not as clean.
He's topped the prem try assist charts for two years running. You don't do that without having some accuracy in the red zone. I reckon he'd be fine in that situation.
Alex Goode is fantastic in the prem week in week out, but couldn't ever bring it to international. Care had a very good international career, but he's been poor all 37 minutes today, I'd not have backed him for that last bit.
I don't think Care has been good and it was a Youngs esque pass to Hill for sure, but Care also put in several excellent box kicks and touch finders so let's not pretend he Henry Paul'd things out there. He was not poor all 37 minutes.

Porter on the other hand...

Porter should be hooked. Marchant has to be injured.

Tommy Freeman is the international rookie of the year so far imo.

Genge went right through him unscathed, but that's at least a yellow for Kerevi. Head contact from an upright tackle.

I'm so happy he's taking his opportunity, he's been great in the Prem the last couple of season.

Think 3 out of 4 of steward, freeman, arundell, radwan would be good.

Lolesio needed to dive on that and secure it. He lost his nerve. Good awareness from Smith.

Smith finally gets bored of nobody passing to him so gets the ball himself.

Apart from a dumb pen in 1st half Hill has been very effective.

Good third quarter from England.

Lucky try but some aggressive ball carrying from the forwards

What in a how many tries can Ireland score kind of way?

Any break that England make would be finished by the current Ireland side.

Stop whinging about the waterbreaks you geriatric Aussie.

2 waterbreaks per half does far less to slow the game down than 'water carriers' sprinting onto the field the whole time and the players are actually allowed a drink ever now and then. Whether it's cold or not doesn't stop you getting thirsty.

Dumb yellow now could lose the game.
Edit: lucky they scored.
