I think we're doing OK.... although we seem to be treating it more like a game of football with all the bloody kicking we're doing...

Poms 19-13 Australia half time.  Australia's game to lose and they are doing a pretty good job of losing it.

Can't blame the ref for the Wallabies playing so stupid.  And the Poms just go back to what they excell at, winning by the boot.

Make that 39...

Does help being able to kick though; we got a few extra points for the conversions which you didn't pick up.

I can't remember the last time we had a consistent goal kicker, in a game like Union when the boot so regularly wins a game it makes sense to have a goal kicker.  It seems to be the difference in the Southern and Northern hemispheres in the game.  Southern generally likes to run the ball and northern like to kick goals.

After the first two try's I thought The Wobblies were into a good win but they threw it away. The missed conversions didn't help. England returned to type and bashed it up the middle and came away with points when the went into the Aus half.

Don't blame the number of points for a penalty. Blame the players for giving them away. How many Aussie points scored off penalties compared to the English? Though I don't get how the refs can pick up players for lying on the ball/entering from the side, but be completely blind to Richie McCaw for the majority of his career.

I think the English front row duped the ref at the scrum though for the yellow card.

Continually knock the ball on / turn it over and give away to many penalties will see any team lose a game. They are still the Woeful Wallabies to me currently...promising in attack at times, but don't deliver on the day everywhere else.

Watching the Wallabies is a bit like us poor blues supporters watching origin. Just when you think they look ok and might get a win the opposition just pick up their game.

Couldn't really say the Poms picked up their game as much as the Wallabies just dropped theirs

Yes, the Wallabies let it get away unfortunately. I still think a Northern Hemisphere ref is not suited to Oz and Kiwi rugby in particular.

I could accept the penalty reversal if the Poms had at least a yellow card for the choke tackle.  Protect the player first.

Yeah far better contest but I think the Poms have out played the Wallabies.  Could be a great second half

Better team definitely won.  Wallabies had plenty of chances but no organisation to finish it off.
