England in Australia

[petej]

Care awful so far. We had a great new scrum half last week but we changed it.

Eddie said in the pre match interview that the Kiwi ref meant loads of quick ball so wanted Care. Which obviously hasn’t happened but Eddie got to feel clever for a bit

Jvp is hardly slow and quite likes to go on a run.

[Oxbow]

Care hooked.

[Margin__Walker]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

[Slick]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

He’s such a cunt

[sockwithaticket]

A little ironic that it was Care's best mate Monye who brought up that Eddie hasn't been prepared to yank anyone early recently.

[PCPhil]

Care yanked.

I’ve liked Care over the years butJust wasn’t his match and the change put too much pressure on him.

[Torquemada 1420]

More dumb: why didn't White just kick deep? Esp this close to 1/2 time

[sockwithaticket]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

Yeah, realistically, what does JVP change in the remaining 3 minutes of the half?

[Hal Jordan]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

Why change the habit of a lifetime?

Much better to show them who is in charge.

[Torquemada 1420]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

You know, I was just thinking why not leave to 1/2 time and pretend it was an injury.

[PCPhil]

Nah, good call in that case.

[Raggs]

Don't be a prick Eddie. Make the change at HT

Yeah, realistically, what does JVP change in the remaining 3 minutes of the half?

That?

[Torquemada 1420]

Repeat pattern from last week. Aus stupidity really gifting Eng points.

TF it's 1/2 time. I need a coffee to wake me up from this one.

[Margin__Walker]

That?

Nah, Care's making that pass too.

[salanya]

He is. Subbing someone three minutes before HT is adding salt to the wound and rubbing it in whilst everyone is watching.

[Flockwitt]

Anyone got a decent stream? Only got the vk.com one working, would rather be able to hear the ref (and put up with the commentary).

If you can VPN into Oz Channel 9 has it free to air... so my friend informs me.

There's fecking ads all the time!

"Free" to air

Smith and Porter with bad misses in defence vs Aus just being daft. It's a race to the bottom!

He gave Hill! a high pass under similar pressure to go forward earlier, I'm not sure he does, at least not as clean.

So show the ads during half time and the water breaks, not hoping you can squash them in as a scrum is called.

[Paddington Bear]

Hmm. JVP handled that attack very well. Prickish but it’s worked

[JM2K6]

Yup, he's a vindictive little shit. This way he gets to say he's making the big call instead of having to admit that swapping the 9s again was a mistake in the first place.

England showing a couple of things in attack but are mostly a big sloshing bag of piss again.

[Slick]

I’m quite enjoying it.

Aus look like winning things out wide and England in the tight, classic rugby

Agree. And I know there has been a lot of rain, but the paucity of pace around the park

It looks like slow motion cw with earlier.

[Slick]

Are they really doing that?

He got the call wrong, but not expecting Care to play like garbage (regardless of how well JVP did last week) isn't crazy.

[petej]

Care and Youngs shouldn't be near the England team. Board much kinder to Care than Youngs.

He's topped the prem try assist charts for two years running. You don't do that without having some accuracy in the red zone. I reckon he'd be fine in that situation.

[Raggs]

Yep. Crazy. They let most the water break go without one since the commentary were doing "analysis".

I'm hoping they've got a quota to hit and they're just trying squash them in asap.

Alex Goode is fantastic in the prem week in week out, but couldn't ever bring it to international. Care had a very good international career, but he's been poor all 37 minutes today, I'd not have backed him for that last bit.

I think we’re more concerned with this particular match?

[Margin__Walker]

He has been off the pace and shouldn't really have been starting. He could have executed a simple pass a yard out though.

Pulling a player 2 minutes before half time though is shit house.

[tc27]

Greenwoods right about the England defence - players seem to be playing their own systems.

[Oxbow]

Porter looks completely out of his depth. Assuming Eddie isn't being a total prick and Marchant has a niggle, giving Dingwall a shot would have been a better shout.

[Raggs]

He has been off the pace and shouldn't really have been starting. He could have executed a simple pass a yard out though.

Pulling a player 2 minutes before half time though is shit house.

That wasn't a simple pass, and he'd already passed a short pass virtually over Hills head.

[Chilli]

Score @ 1/2 time?

[ASMO]

Thats Care's last game for England. Smith needs a big second half. Porter is an empty shirt, bring on Joseph.

Yeah, just watched the replay. That was a simple pass.

The one to Hill? It certainly was.

Whatever pros and cons the final result was good so a very moot discussion.

Care has done that quite often in his England career when starting which is how Youngs has amassed more caps. Youngs had a slightly higher floor. They both tend to look better as the sub than starting. Time to move on from Youngs and Care.

[PCPhil]

Steward is amazing in the air.
