The Rugby Thread

[jd1981]

Can't see this being tense, Australia playing with intelligence and creativity so far.

 

[Parkins left foot]

England not disciplined enough - losing the ball when in good position will cost them

And why they didn't take the penalty earlier when it was 3 - 3 is criminal - build the score!!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Another turnover for Australia when England were in a good position. Got to cut that out.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

The scrum has been so bad

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Poite and his assistants are pinging Marler for not scrumming straight. Bob Dwyer is sitting smugly stroking a white cat, necking a VB, and purring "excellent"

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ouch - that could be goodnight

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

What a try that was! Nice switch to rewind and amazing passing

 

[Stan Hullis]

Fuck.

That was a good try.

I've said previously that I don't really understand the game but this is looking like a piece of piss for the Aussies.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Australia have an absolutely lethal backline.

Not yet Trev. England have been in the game for a lot of it, but Australia have benefitted from two bits of utter brilliance. Not completely done and dusted, but they need a score very soon.

England are not even getting the basics right and the Aussies are punishing them for it

And it's goodnight Mr Lancaster...

I'll take your word for it Pad.

If England do get battered that may well see the end of Lancaster.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

If England fail to win that should be Lancaster back to PE classes frankly. Hosts failing to get out of the group is not acceptable, group of death or not.

First host Country never to go through to the second round, I'd say that's a given.

 

[Parkins left foot]

England are being found wanting at the crucial points - wasn't necessarily expecting a WC win, but looking like we will not get out of the group.

Finding it hard to keep watching at the moment

Perennial under achievement in the six nations to.

 

[Bit on the shaggies]

England have to find themselves a better game plan here, because running the ball at Australia is getting them as far as a turnover to Pocock/Hooper on the 22.

Oz are defending better than we are, and attacking better than we are.

We're fucked if it carries on like this.
