Hats off. That's a ****ing awesome try from us. Lovely line and offload from Lozowski.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Yeah, not one for Genge's highlight reel, that.

 

[Howe_zat]

I'm not even going to attempt to analyse this.

Great half of rugby though, tbf. Weirdly unstructured play from us, but has made for an entertaining game.

Think all the debutants save Williams have gone well.

 

[Howe_zat]

Agree, though it'd be harsh to lay a scrum getting the treatment solely at his feet.

George 'deadshot' Ford is a new development.

 

[Howe_zat]

Haha, carbon copy of Argentina's first try in the same corner.

How many footballing fly halves do you need? Ford-Lozowski-Slade has been good fun so far.

Solomona lets a try through 8 seconds into his England career

 

[Howe_zat]

The super rugby team playing a super rugby fixture.

More gaffes from Solomona.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Fair to say there's more to Argentina than a scrum nowadays.

It's the sort of game defence coaches relive on dark, lonely nights, but it's ruddy entertaining.

 

[BoyBrumby]

They still have a scrum though, but.

Demolition job that.

 

[Howe_zat]

Don't think I've ever seen an England scrum consistently taken to pieces like this.

 

[Howe_zat]

How is Ford not in New Zealand. How.

Edit: oh kicking is back to normal. I do not retract my statement

 

[BoyBrumby]

Some game Ford is having.

 

[Howe_zat]

Hartley's had a shocker.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Can't recall such an entertaining test.

Liking the look of Piers Francis too. Quasi-kiwi, isn't he?

Background is all English, moved out there aged 18 to play ITM cup, moved back here but could only get a gig for Doncaster Knights. Went back over there and played his first pro game for the Blues aged 25.

 

[Howe_zat]

Alright Denny.

You're alright, you are

 

[BoyBrumby]

And Solomona has vague NZ connections too, one understands.

What a finish. Phew.

 

[ripper868]

Crazy finish that. Only saw last 20 minutes, quality running from both sides.

Received a drunken phone call from a mate on Saturday who told me that club rugby in Brisbane is dead

He was attending a game at his former club for the first time in years and less than 100 people turned up whereas it would have been several thousand in his day

I trotted out some attempted excuses e.g. Wallabies playing, **** weather, your former team were all-stars (had about 10 Wallabies in their lineup iirc) etc etc

He just said nope and passed me on to a mutual friend who is a high-profile former Wallaby and he went even further

I thought club rugby was one of the few brightish spots but obviously not

ARU has a lot to answer for
