It's just Toga's typical overreaction to anyone saying something against a Saracens player. Goes double for the sainted Owen Farrell.

Smith is easily having his worst England match. I don't think he should be subbed though because he's a very good player.
That I might go with, but he's certainly not been terrible. That's hyperbolic and what I mean by an overreaction.


If you're going to blow smoke up his arse constantly then you must expect a similar level of prose when he fails to deliver.

Beautifully worked from the restart onwards. Fab try.
And are there two g’s in Bugger Off?

England have plenty of form in not trusting your inside man to make the tackle.

Doubt if it would be much different. 2 awful sides with not a clue how to use space.

We’re much better at not using space than any aussie!

With the pace we have in our backs we might as well put Farrell at 10 and just roll up and down the pitch.

I wasn’t aware he was biased towards SaracenS players?
It's also why he's so irritable. To a man, the Sarries players have been abysmal.

Vunipola evens up the nos for pretty much the rest of the game and probably ensures Eng lose to 14 men. :thumbup:

Fair play to Australia but god we are a joylous, slow and cynical side without any discernible game plan as soon as we meet a team that can tackle big men.

Forwards trundling towards try line screw up an opportunity.

Combine the worst elements of Exeter & Sarries, & put a coach in charge that doesn't think the players are capable of anything better, et voila !

Yup. I have to concede that one to you. Even with the apparent fwd dominance and a red card, they've still looked utter sh*te.

3 mins of reset coming up to kill off this game. How do refs allow this every week?

The ultimate humiliation for Eng. Annihilated by an Aussie scrum :clap:

Where's Joe Marler when you need him?

Not necessarily on that scrum as it happens. But as soon as a scrum is called the watch should stop.

Yet again Marcus Smith fails to live up the hype. Farrell should play 10.

These England players clearly aren't playing for their coaching team including Eddie and the NRL trainee.
