[qwerty51]

Once the English pack gets rolling in the 22 we're done for. But so are the English backs when we get in the 22.

This game has the feeling that it could go either way at the moment, hopefully the last 5 weeks of preparation start to show through in the last 30minutes for Australia...

Don't think beating up thrown together units is the best prep for this pommy side. They're bloody monsters!

True, I guess i was thinking more in terms of fitness levels..

The Barbarians side was made up of Shute Shield players, they would've been bigger than English pack. The difference is the cohesion of the pack.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

The preparation this year has been 400% better than previous campaigns.

Team management and coaches are to be congratulated.

55m pen attempt.

Justice it is short

Definitely. Far superior performances in all aspects this year and the year before. I didn't think this cohort of players was that strong so they've done well.

How can you continue to box kick so poorly??

 

[kiap]

Shit box kick again charged down

 

[qwerty51]

Why is this ref asking us to roll away on mauls? What the fuck?

 

[kiap]

Good work from Perry

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Pommie Meat in the corner. Eng 36 - AUS 24

Billy Boy Burns nails the extras from the sideline. Eng 38 - AUS 24.

64 minutes gone.

Dempsey on for Perry.

 

[kiap]

Obstruction FFS.

But Placid looks very small out there

Australia should have picked 20s that are playing premier rugby not schoolboy champions.

Most of them are.. which ones don't you approve of and name a replacement.

 

[It is what it is]

Why coaches let players wear bright coloured head gear is beyond me, especially if you're a flanker. Talk about a magnet for referees.

 

[qwerty51]

What the fuck Placid. Pass it that was a certain try.

 

[kiap]

Placid should have passed that!

Yeah.

White is not a good idea either. Looks like the ball.

 

[TOCC]

Yep placid misread that badly, tried selling the dummy but the defender was obviously committed

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Can't see us winning. We need to get bonus points.
