Ta. Also thanks for muting the anthems

Is that audible for people?

Puja

Not an auspicious start, 2 penalties and a forward pass. Great defence though.

Puja

thx for the last 20 vs NZ. I just hope our mauling improves against Oz. (have been on wrong thread..)

I'm still not sure whether it's lawful to pop off the floor after the ruckers have cleared over you, but that was a great attacking set of phases by England.

No problem.

What great play from Cohen. Spotted early he wasn't going to make it there first and changed his angle to make sure he was there for the tackle.

Puja

Oh Thompson, that needed to go!

Wtf was Cohen thinking there? Needs a session of two with Kruis.

If there's one law change I'm pleased about, it's the one about passing back into the 22. It's ridiculous watching both sides drive up to the 10m line before passing it 20m back to a fly-half to kick for touch.

I agree with the Aussie commentators - that was a clear yellow card for Cohen there. Mind, I'm pretty sure Australia knocked on as they turned it over, so turnabout's fair play.

Puja

Tackler did not even pretend to fill away at that last ruck.

Needs some studs down his back as encouragement!

Do you think the co-commentator thought it was a professional foul?

The hands in that last phase. Wow.

That was impressive!

I think there's a reasonable case to be made that Martin Johnson was the best English rugby player ever.

Just the hands in general. So comfortable with the ball in their hands.

Yep. Always thought he should’ve won SPOTY instead of Wilko.

That's a yellow card against Gregan. Absolute professional foul to kill that maul on the goalline.

What a wonderful maul.

Sorry, my PC was playing it in stop motion so I switched to my phone

How are we only 6 points ahead? We've been dominating this game!?

Puja

Flying clothes line by Waugh.
Ref: I’m just going to talk to him.
Commentator: A sensible decision.
Commentator: There was no malice.
Co-commentator: Do we have a translator for the ref?

Makes you almost miss Barnes.

I give Farrell a lot of crap for his attitude to referees, but I don't think he's ever been as disrespectful to a ref as Johnno was there!

Puja

We complain about Owens petulance in front of the ref, but wtf was that
