For me the thing that decided how that game went was our inability to neutralise Pocock. How many England attacks did he dismantle? 4? 5? With him on the pitch and our backrow unable to do anything about it (in part due to their own failings and in part because he is an incredible player) we were n...

Happy for my NQ family. My SEQ family are drinking their sorrows away.

Can't deny that JT is possibly the greatest rugby league player of the last 20 years. Better than Johns, that's for sure.

I live in Brisbane but was born in NQ. This is like watching Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway slow dancing and grinding on each other. I'm just happy to witness it.

Nothing borderline about the high tackle from Burgess. It was right around Hooper's neck.

Would any team have lived with Australia like they played today. At the moment, no. Ffs where do I do I start. You're Welsh? Northern hemisphere? Do you know who you have not beaten in 60 years.? Do you know who are currently ranked number 1? Do you know the all blacks put 30 points on this team ju...

Lancaster obviously didn't research he Waratahs enough Seems true, bizarrely. The English seemed to fully buy in to the image of the pre-Cheika scrum. It was priceless to witness Aussie pay back for a decade of English scrum bullying. I almost cried. I shot ropes of goopy jism over the couch-blanket.

Word has it he'll be heading back to the NRL sharpish.

A wasted talent. He was never a centre.

Phipps. I may be going out on a limb here, but I am going to state for the record that that long pass to the left that went to ground, and then was toed upfield (ending in a PG) was NOT Phipps' fault. He collected a recycled ball and swept it out fast off the deck, accurately directing it a chest h...

The Kiwis on here crack me up. They're either good, gracious and funny rugby folk or WHY AREN'T WE TALKING ABOUT THE ALL BLACKS!?!!? I mean, in fairness, people in this thread are jizzing that he's the best 7 they've ever seen FFS. Kind of a point of discussion I would have though? On a rugby forum...

At his best, the best 7 I've seen. The iceman was slightly before my time when he was playing openside. Think you forget just how good mccaw was at his peak.. Iceman was a much better athlete than all of them, but different type of players, different game Nah, McCaw has been more consistent over a ...

Yep.

I'm a bit annoyed they let a try in.

Look out NZ, you guys are gonna get smashed What was the score at Eden park this year again without Barnes reffing the game?? I'll admit I will be worried if we have to face Australia with Barnes reffing. Otherwise im not concerned at all. England got owned pure and simple anybody who knows rugby w...

But yeah. I like Wales. I like Welsh rugby. This week will be interesting.

I typed something into Google and it popped up. I thought it was appropriate.

I found it on the internet.

Was it just me that felt the Aussies were walking it across as a unit, which inevitably drags Marler out? No complaints though, none of our boys were either good enough to stop it, or convince Poite that was what was going on. Glad he spotted the early shove though, amusingly that wasn't even neede...

I would eat his manly arse if he asked me. No qualms whatsoever.

If Australia beat Wales then they'll play either Scotland or Japan...I think.

fudge, I have no idea.

My wife is away until this afternoon. This means I can't drank dranks like a drunk.

Pffft. Details, shmetails...

Yeah, Ledesma has really turned the Wallaby pack around.

Good onya bloke.

I'm feeling for the English fans right now. You poor buggers.

England were playing Australia, you nitwit.

Lucky not to have 2 in the bin.

PHIPPS!

Ahhhh shit.

Here we go.

May injured.

If Farrell doesn't touch the ball first, their backline goes to shit.

Weird.
