"Angling. One"
Music to my ears

I missed the Comms. What was the Hooper penalty for?

An almost Bakkies-like no arm clearout. An unnecessary too, we'd won the ball.

Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. But no harm, no foul.

I missed the Comms. What was the Hooper penalty for?

Too rough at the rucking. He just hit a Pommy

EdIT. I'll clarify. If it was in from the side then that's a bit rich. If it was no arms I would've thought YC. Not having a whinge, I just don't understand.

Leading with the shoulder when cleaning out.

Going back to itv to laugh at lord bald

Credit where it is due, Ben Kay is one of the best commentators/ summarisers in the game; so refreshing to hear some neutral commentary. Gwan Aussie!!!

 

[Mr Doug]

England get away with so much. Disgusting

It's written in the Tetley tea-leaves: "England must win"!

 

[Rugbynutter39]

foley answering his critics as kicking and positional play been very good. Nice to see him finding his feet at the right time and way he played with Waratahs two seasons ago

Who is this Quade cooper bloke people keep chatting about?

 

[Cardiffblue]

Du plessis was not the first incident tho

No arms, looked like a shoulder to the head.

Hopefully makes him pull his head in next half. Can't believe he didn't get penalised when he ran into that pommy up in our half as well.

 

[aeneas]

Go you aussies go!!

Good Genia and bad Genia have made there appearance

 

[Scoey]

Cheers Kiap. Yeah lucky not to get the YC. I just figured that since he didn't it must've been for in from the side which was marginal.

He smashed them. PERFECT cleanout. That's what you get taught to do.

 

[Bairdy]

Harrison and Pommy commentator #2 complaining about Hooper's cleanout not being penalised further.

Leading with the shoulder when cleaning out.

He was hardly binding on but Brown elbowed Genia in the face just before, maybe that is why it didn't go upstairs!?!?

 

[jollyswagman]

Bernard Foley......BRILLIANT!!!!!! Having a blinder.

 

[Dan54]

Aussie front row being really smart, see why marler getting pinged for angling?? Wallaby shuffle to left, Kefu changes grip to Marlers arm, and he has to follow. Not really legal by wallabies, but they getting away with it.

 

[Viking]

Foley doubter here... i'll happily put my hand up for a roasting. Love being proved wrong.

QC (Quade Cooper) who?
