Yup

I like Lawes Mk2 also

Cunningham can't be as thick as Lawes

Bell has had some first half.

We're lucky Tupou's largely been garbage. Helping keep us in the game. Momentum definitely with Aus at the moment.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:00 pm**

Australia deserved that lead.

He wishes. Have you seen him recently? Somewhere there's a portrait of him getting better looking each day.

Yeah. And I never thought I'd be saying that since the days of Herbert, Horan and Campo.

Their 1st phase improved a lot.

Englands defence has been found out.

A trait of Borthwick's England is to build a lead and then stop playing.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:05 pm**

What happened to the England midget wing?

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:05 pm**

Good start, pretty crap since. Absurdly fast and loose, and the base Aussie skill level looks a bit better which has given them the momentum as it got to HT.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:08 pm**

McDermott by far the best 9 of all the games so far. Makes all the difference

Do keep up, we have not had Midgets since Tindall

Anyone want to talk about Englands brainless rush defence again?

Like all rush defence effective until it fails and then you look like an absolute mug.

The point being theirs is constantly brainless. It’s not just a case of running up fast

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:17 pm**

Is Spencer this glacial for his club, or is he doing it under orders ?

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:20 pm**

Absolutely awful offensive set from England there..no shape at all

Shit. And we haven't got an attack.

He is a wigglesworth like scrum half, so yes.

He looked all at sea for the first few minutes with several ineffective tackle attempts but thankfully he's come right.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:24 pm**

England don't have a ficking clue

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:24 pm**

Momentum all with Aus at the moment

Considering how many matches we've lost when going into last quarter in front I don't fancy our chances.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:26 pm**

What a fantastic test to watch so far.

Bell again. Performance for the ages.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:28 pm**

In touch

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:28 pm**

That's some finish if his foot is in.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:29 pm**

I’d give that try tbf

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:29 pm**

When it's that close I'd reward the attacking side.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:29 pm**

Not enough "definitive" for me. Try.

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:30 pm**

Can't be too mad about favouring the try in those circumstances..Aus dominant

Posted: **Sat Nov 09, 2024 4:31 pm**

Well, looks like it's down to Fra to save NH blushes.

Yeah, exactly that - was as near to a 50:50 as you can get , so no reason to reverse the on field decision
