England in Australia

[ASMO]

For fucks sake, do England have a single braincell between them?

We have decades of history of England stupiding their way to defeat.

Underhill playing like he's still in a Bath shirt, there's a surprise.

Shouldn't have been selected for the tour. I'm a little bit sick of hearing Eddie say someone's training well when they've been in poor form all year. There're also plenty of supporters out there who back selecting Underhill on the basis of things he did years ago.

Underhill has made 1 carry, 6/3 in defence, and given away two penalties. Plus not got near their ball on the floor.

[ASMO]

Cant even blame Eddie for this, the players on the field need to own this failure.

[sockwithaticket]

Have to say that our backs look like they met up in pub car park after a heavy night before.

Their lack of cohesion isn't a surprise. In the 11 tests we've been playing Smith, this is the 4th scrum half he's started with and 8th centre configuration. Can't even fathom how many back three combos given the constant tinkering there.

Somehow I doubt the chaos of the England camp is helping provide cool heads

Looks like another concussion for him.

Christ that was a close one, could have been an Aus ball.

[PCPhil]

It’s the hope that hurts.

[ASMO]

And yet another utterly cretinous penalty

[JM2K6]

Christ that was a close one, could have been an Aus ball.

Not sure I understand why it wasn't tbh.

Porter with another missed tackle - 3/3 in defence now to go with the two penalties he's coughed up. Another amazing Eddie selection surprise.

Yeah, but there isn’t a single English back on that field who looks like he can beat his man.

Captained University of Sydney, maaaaaate.

[Kawazaki]

Did we put Nytol in the half time drinks?

Eddie pep talk.

Freeman can and regularly does, but he's hardly touched the ball.

[JM2K6]

Yeah despite me being happier with our attacking shape in the first half, it's still designed to get forwards running at people rather than making space for outside backs.

[ASMO]

Englands lineout is toilet

[Hal Jordan]

Aussies absolutely fucked that overlap.

He is a Tigers utility back. Very useful part of the squad but not a player I would consider 1st choice for Tigers in the centers.

[Dinsdale Piranha]

Englands lineout is toilet

Missing Maro.

[Raggs]

If it was working so well in the first half (even with the poor kicks from Smith and Faz), then it obviously works. Decision makers decisions need to improve.

[PCPhil]

Oh for …..get it.

[JM2K6]

Englands lineout is toilet

Missing Maro.

We lost a couple before then too

[sockwithaticket]

What a surprisingly good maul, that unsurprisingly amounted to nothing.

Freeman showing that soem pace in the backline is necessary with that cover.

[ASMO]

Fuck me that was poor, unbelievably poor

So it's going to get even worse, sadly.

[Hal Jordan]

Jesus, Farrell looked slower than Nowell trying to chase that kick back.

[Kawazaki]

Eddie's finishers reducing what little cohesion England have to mud.

[JM2K6]

Pass the fucking ball, Jack

[PCPhil]

Dumb again. How did we not score.

[Hal Jordan]

Dumb again. How did we not score.

Aussie hands in the ruck slowed it to plodding on the line. Clever from them.

[sockwithaticket]

Stop fellating Nowell, if someone with actual winger speed received the ball in that much space they would have been able to try and go on the outside rather than having to cut back in and we may have scored.

[JM2K6]

Despite great competition, that might have been the dumbest thing I've seen all day. Nicely done Heyes...

[Raggs]

Stupid from Heyes, stupid from Ludlam.

[ASMO]

OMFG, we win the ball and still manage to fuck it up

[PCPhil]

Does he want Arundell to fail. Sending him on like he’s superman with 10 to go.
And keeping Nowell on.

[JM2K6]

Yeah God forbid we have pace on both wings

[sockwithaticket]

Apparently we're only allowed one quick player in the outside backs at a time.

[FalseBayFC]

Lovely whining about the laws from the Aus commentators today.
