Well, getting shafted by O'Keefe early (Kellaway turnover/Ikitau being blocked by Slade). But England clearly better team. England should romp this by 30.

Edit: Add Lawrence being wrong side of ruck tripping players trying to clear, and Earl changing his line to impede Pietsch. But sure, no home town favouritism here.

Edit2: BOK looking at Curry unconscious on the floor, and not blowing play up until Rob Valetini told him to highlights how incapable he really is. Bring back Bryce Lawrence levels of ****.

BOK still ****, but Wallabies actually doing some things.

Suaili has been decent, above decent actually. Angus Bell has been excellent, probably most consistent Wallaby of last 2 years.

Or not. Aus much the better side now and there's only one point in it.

Well, did not expect to be ahead at the half, thats for sure.

I was hoping I'd have this impact when I made the comment ;)

Not sure Aus are the better side just yet, certainly seem to be the team most keen to attack though - did the homework on how to beat Englands Rush defence, and Tate coming on with snipes around the ruck certainly helped - no coincidence the more fluid play has started with Gordon going off.

edit: and Gordon is back on, expect slow ball again.

Don't think you can take this try away tbh, simultaneous if anything, which means try I think. and if it's taking 3 hours for the decision, on field should stand.

Sanity.

Hmm, looked a clear no try to me. But maybe it wakes England up (probably not).

Yeah this has turned into everything I hate about Borthwick. Aussies taking advantage as England keep coughing the ball up.
I thought we had been improving, but we've been outclassed today since scoring those two early tries. I was told that this isn't supposed to be an especially good Austalian side, but they're looking good for a final winning margin of 20+ this afternoon.

EDIT
Timing, as they say. @ripper868 and me are trying to outdo each other today.

Wallabies have reverted to being Wallabies, terrible to get caught out by the quick one there. Jorgenson had to cover that.
