Good decision !

if in doubt, give the attacker the benefit of the doubt & don't let the technology be a killjoy

Enjoying Australia. Fast, smart, innovative.

Everything that England are not.

Been a joy to watch. If rugby were like this all the time, we'd get more watchers.

It looks like chopping & changing defensive systems/coaches multiple times has somehow caused confusion amongst the players ... who could possibly have predicted that ?

This is dismal. We've taken a defensive step back with the loss of Felix Jones.

Wouldn't mind seeing Spencer subbed off.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. Right down to Garba who at least had the excuse that it was Lomu he was facing.

He is a wigglesworth like scrum half, so yes.
It can't be good when bringing on Bin Youngs would actually speed things up :shock:

A small bright spot is that Sleightholme has looked hungry and effective whenever he's been involved. Definitely ready for international rugby (as soon as he gets rid of that horrible buzzcut mullet, thought we'd seen the last of that when Slade forsook his).

Good option from Smith that kick.

If Slade is being selected as the experienced defensive leader he can fuck off.

Sleightholme looks perpetually confused but he knows where the try line is.

I have been baffled as to what we get from him at this level for years now.

Genge v Bell for handling is a close call.

From no look passes to have a good look passes. Genge really doesn't have it all.

Not sure how that isn't a yellow for deliberately shoulder-barging Sleightholme in the face.

That was right up there with Henderson's effort last night. Been on 2 secs and heaps the pressure on his own team by going full on retard.

Lawrence should not have tried to offload that. Dumb.

Ahh it wasn't worth a card, but it should have been a penalty & a good talking to

It is a card because head contact at pace and 100% deliberate.

Agree...15 minutes to go..keep possession when you have momentum..doesn't need the 50/50s

Not sure what is going on in the Portugal v USA game but seems like the Yanks have somehow scored 2 converted tries in the same minute :problem:
