RWC 2019 1/4 Final England vs Australia

[The Honey Badger]

Woo Hoo, still in it

 

[Adam84]

Nah, I think Sinclair is.

That first scrum collapse was all Sio’s fault, the reset and penalty worked against Sinkler.

 

[Silverado]

Nah, I think Sinclair is.

It's a lottery, they're both going down

 

[dru]

Come on boys..you got this..im literally screaming at my tv.. my gf thinks im crazy lol

Me too. But wife is used to it.

OTOH cat is going nuts. Didnt like me singing the anthem. Loudly.

 

[Viking]

the scoreboard at half-time a fair reflection of the half. England looking much more clinical and composed, Australia hanging in there... Looking good into contact and at the breakdown but not offering much on attack besides some individual half-breaks.

England defending and attacking like a team. I'm afraid they will run away with it in the last 20mins.....

Unless our subs come on and add some spark to the attack

 

[The Honey Badger]

Can any1 in the team reliably drop kick? Coach does not like kicking

Foley, but will never play again

 

[molman]

This would be a 1 pt game if it wasn't for that poor pass/intercept. We're in this. Petaia is looking good. Kerevi needs someone to just shadow him better. The All Blacks just do it so well.

 

[Tomikin]

I think we are better in scrum..Theres a massive amount of pressure there.

OK, agreed, accept Sinkler definitely responsible at the penalty. We had one earlier where we weren't given advantage from earlier stuff ups from England.

Yeh, doesn't go down well in the pub either

Yeah that break would have been a try for the ABs. I don't get how you don't expect Kerevi to make a break every touch he makes.

 

[tragic]

Need an early try so the dodgers stop giving away cynical penalties to protect their lead.
If Eng get 1st points in the 2nd half it’s game over.

 

[Adam84]

England seemed to be getting the ball out on their own feeds, Australia haven’t done that yet. That tells me something about the scrum ascendency. Still a lottery though.

 

[Viking]

1st try of the second half wins

 

[molman]

Yeah that break would have been a try for the ABs. I don't get how you don't expect Kerevi to make a break every touch he makes.

Yeah. How many tries has Aaron Smith scored by just shadowing people... I don't get it either.

 

[tragic]

Genia needs a revup at half time and an early sub if he doesn’t stop this slow service two step shit

 

[The Honey Badger]

This would be a 1 pt game if it wasn't for that poor pass/intercept. We're in this. Petaia is looking good. Kerevi needs someone to just shadow him better. The All Blacks just do it so well.

I am not going home yet. We have been better in the 2nd half most games.

I'd have To'omua on for the full half.

 

[chasmac]

10-9 would be fair. But we always give away soft points. England know what we are going to do. Need a territory game but need to keep playing lots of footy.

 

[molman]

Genie needs a revup at half time and an early sub if he doesn’t stop this slow service two step shit

I'd give him 10 and then get To'omua on.

 

[gel]

It must be awesome to coach against Australia "just make your tackles until the wallabies drop it"

That's all the opposition have to do.
