Well, that worked okay for the "Fre" Baabaas v Eng!

Would've been yellow if they hadn't scored.

so after scoring an outstanding try in the 1st test and making a fantastic break for another Arundell not good enough for anything more than a blink and you’ll miss him for rest of tour.

A couple of times in this game we've let someone draw and pass and keep running. Take them to ground ffs.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he gets a single pass.

Two poor kicks from JvP but both work out okay given the clock

Totally different quality of game but the difference again is the breakdown.

Yeah, this and the last test he's been a dominant breakdown force.

Lovely to see such a forceful counter ruck and deft hook back.

Can't argue with the results too much but the performances have quarter final exit written all over them.

Almost a lost art.

Gutsed that out in the end.

Yeeeesss, 2 for 2. Still unconvincing, but a win is a win

I wasn't convinced that Australia were any good coming into this and nothing we've seen has changed that opinion.

England with a couple of fairly middling performances have won the series and maintained dominance over them.

All kinds of flaws but a series win in Aus is a good result.

Van portfleet has to be number 1, him and Randall, a great pairing.

Well done England, a win is Oz is still a win in Oz.

Was surprised how disjointed the Aussie backs looked all game, with a bit more cohesion I think they would have scored a few

Quirke and Mitchell are better than Randall, but you do seem to have a thing for him.

Unfortunately he's been dogshit in 2022. What we've seen from Quirke suggests he's a much better option.

Not to p*ss on Eng's chips, but you are right. They should have lost to a Fra B team and Fra B has struggled against Jap.

Christ the awards are bit painful, giving player of the series to a player who's potentially earned it, but lost the series (and this game) doesn't really put a shine on it.
