Actually, England lost because Australia played very well. Perish the thought!

No kidding.

Maybe against Wales you could pretend that changing players here and there might have made a difference, but against Australia England had nothing at all. Literally no changes would have them win.

Whiplash as chariot unexpectedly swings low/All England Wanking Contest finals?


I don't think Hooper will/should be cited. The absolute worst he'd get is a warning. He might have went in like Dr. Jannie, but usually you get a warning for the first offence on the pitch anyway (which is what he got). It was a great piece of tactical bashing anyway - he wound an already amped up and making mistakes fullback up even more.

Citing that is saying 'we don't want the break down to be contested'

How are you meant to clear out a filthy phil waugh impersonator without doing something like that.

Amazing - I turn on the telly to watch Argentina Tonga and John Inverdale is talking about England. Finally my wife understands my constant moaning about him.

And of course they're talking about "should we have brought Armitage in" and the Aussies "bending the rules" to get Giteau on the team. I was just looking forward to hearing about today's game :(

Wales don't want the breakdown contested!!


That said, Tipuric and Warburton against Hooper and Pocock would be an amazing contest.

Referee : Joubert

Oh, never mind.

B-b-but we're the Irish everyone loves us? Why the hate friend?

I wish I was the type of person who could watch these games without that nagging anxiety that we play poo poo and end up on the receiving end of an upset. It's the world cup for it :ohdear:

Oh no doubt. Personally I'm a big fan of watching the patented "bakkies" clear-out of 6ft 7 odd inches of human missile making no effort to do anything but clear the man, but apparently that maims people/stops people from enjoying their english/lions petals playing.

I learnt to love rugby in the phil waugh and george smith era of australian rugby. Contesting the break down is what I watch rugby for.

The one that lets him spout clichés rather than think.

Maybe they have an autocue that brings up a selection of nothing-phrases that fit the situation.

That half time analysis may have hit a new low for Inverdale. A fun game with two teams who want to win, and all we get is a sad man talking about broken dreams. In a week when they're talking about how the crowds have been less excitable since England went out, I hope Inverdale has a brief moment of self-reflection.

They were a bit close to the downed men for my liking there. Turnover break would have had them running straight over the top of the medics.

The ARU didn't 'bend the rules', they changed their selection policy. The RFU could have done this too. Are you hinting that the ARU has somehow been unsporting by doing this? If so, it might be better to conclude that the RFU have their heads up their arses.

Not at all, my conclusion is absolutely that the RFU had their heads utterly up their arses. Aus RFU did what had to be done, England RFU didn't
