Ireland just beat a team with 14 players. We need to get this into perspective, that's far far harder to do than beating a team with 15 players.

Comparison with Ireland will certainly show where England is.
Another player injured in training eh? Surprise.

Part of me is wondering if this a real injury or just Eddie deciding he wants to change the setup on the bench so asking Willis to take a fall. Why replace a loose forward with a center?

Quality coverage from Sky as ever. Greenwood's just intro'd van Portvliet's try last week as being an example of how the experienced players show their worth and yet every bit of the clips lined up showcases Smith, Arundell, van Portvliet and Marchant.

I actually like what the Aussies try for the anthems. It really does feel like wandering into Mick Dundee's pub at around closing time.

Terrible kicking but very much preferring the shape so far. Smith getting his hands on the ball at ten, Farrell doing his thing in midfield, no constant bullshit static pullback plays

Shock horror! Letting a 10 play as 10 works.

Said last week I preferred Smith at 10, his more personal threat helps hold the defence, then if it goes to Farrell I trust him to just ship it out faster and not try and take it to the line himself (with the depth they have it just lets the defence drift).

Basically letting Smith play to his strength, taking the ball flat

Thought the same, released the first time, but held the second and still went back to his feet.

13-0, the Aussies have been nowhere since the start. The 10 minutes of prematch gamesmanship/welcome didn't work.

It’s really weird how they think they can get away with what they can do at a low key club match.

Stripped by England, then tackled, unplayable, how is that Aus ball?
Surely the Aussie is then playing it on the ground?

Kerevi played that on the floor but we win the scrum penalty and get the extra ten metres too so whatever
