Forwards going well. Some good kicking from 9. England a worrying mixture of poor in the opposition 22 with the ball and and poor in our own 22 without it.

Yep. Don’t give Hooper the opportunity to make an unopposed case to the ref.

The third rugby stream option for the game has been pretty consistent, although for some reason it changed to golf @ one point. It's been fine since with occasional buffer.

Faz and Smith haven’t kicked well imo. Decent tempo ball in hand, forwards carrying well and JVP very good bar one pass

Intensity without the ball isn’t good apart from kick chase

Is it just me or has our tackling been really weak this tour? Players just keep bouncing off and Australia keep making yards after the first contact.

His head hit the smaller man’s shoulder so pretty unlikely. This TMO would definitely have called it even if marginal I reckon

No luck for the Aussies with injuries so far. That looks nasty.

I’m loving JVP’s willingness to break.

He’s done very well. Nice quick pass and good length off both hands
