Blew a bonus point for you. Terrible - your lot should be disappointed with themselves.

I was reasonably confident but feck me that was awesome.
A BP would have been great but really doesn’t matter. That was comprehensive .

Re: Australia
This is tackle to victory, no carrying, kick it away rugby. And it worked. Utter catastrophe for Eddie and Australia.

Hopefully we don’t play England. With both sides kicking the ball it could resemble team tennisSon of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 9:55 pm This is tackle to victory, no carrying, kick it away rugby. And it worked. Utter catastrophe for Eddie and Australia.

Lesson for SA - have someone who can get it between the posts. I've lost count of how many times.

I was groaning when Anscombe missed his first kick, but he more than made up for it.Son of Mathonwy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 9:57 pm Lesson for SA - have someone who can get it between the posts. I've lost count of how many times.

Re: Australia
I mean, we quip, but the atmosphere in camp will be depressed to say the least after the last two games and I don't think Eddie has the capability to pick up a team whose morale is that low - history suggests that when it starts going wrong, his teams tend to implode rather than rally. It's going to be a miserable week and, if Fiji get 5 points against Georgia on the Saturday, then could be confirmed out the day before their game.pompey-zebra wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 10:07 pmI'm not convinced Australia will beat Portugal on that showing.Sandydragon wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 9:52 pmIt will take quite the Fijian screw up not to beat Portugal and Georgia (no disrespect to either)canta_brian wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 9:49 pm With no losing bonus the strayans are pretty much fucked.

Re: Australia
Portugal aren’t the pushovers everyone expected them to be. If they can get a quick score or 2 then anything is possible.Puja wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2023 10:13 pmI mean, we quip, but the atmosphere in camp will be depressed to say the least after the last two games and I don't think Eddie has the capability to pick up a team whose morale is that low - history suggests that when it starts going wrong, his teams tend to implode rather than rally.

Eddie Jones looks crushed. Should have picked a stronger squad mate.

We scored 34 past them in the autumn, but they scored 39, defence wins the day.

It's worth watching all 30 minutes of this. You've probably seen him before, but his passion fills me with joy.
