Another Farrell penalty, after a potential Aus try is wrongly disallowed I feel. More like the natural line the Aussie 2nd row had taken rather than real obstruction. I don't think Burrell would've made it.
England breakaway try from Joseph 10-16 33mins. |

Wow, this is frustrating. The southern hemisphere sides are clearly so much better than the northern hemisphere sides but the southern hemisphere sides seem to have no interest in doing the simple things correctly and being patient and waiting for their opportunities.

England have a six point lead early in the second half. Farrell pulls a pen attempt wide but the pressure is kept on and Marlon Yarde gets over for a great try.
13-24 with the con to come. 47minutes. Con is good 13-26, 48mins. |

2nd Michael Hooper try. They just don't give up those Aussies. When they're down to 14 men.
Foley misses the con. 18-29, 60 minutes. |

Strange call from Aus to take 3 points with 2 minutes left but it's reduced the deficit to 2 points
28-32 79minutes. |

Well done England, a great win that and this is already a very interesting series. |

Suggestions that George North is injured and out of the rest of the Wales tour.
Hope he gets a good rest and comes back firing for next season with a Lions tour at the end of it. Has looked in better form for us since the World Cup and it's time to wrap him in cotton wool for a bit. |

England have really turned it round since the WC.
Hopefully this will inspire another England team playing today. |

What an absolutely horrific decision. That is just unbelievable. I'm not saying that with hindsight, I said it at the time as well. There just wasn't near enough time left for the decision they made. Who on earth made that call?

Well done Ireland, good news.
One question, why do the Australians have to be quite so obnoxious to the England team? It makes victory sweeter, but seriously, it's stupid. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/36514730 |

I really like Eddie Jones, he seems to be making the right decisions at the right time, It was quite a call moving Farrall to 12 and bringing on Ford so early in the match. But it worked, and show's Eddie's not afraid to make, what may be an unpopular decision.
As for Saturday's game and the 6N I do wonder if Brown has had his day, while his defence is good, I do wonder about his attack, all this running across the pitch may look great, but actually achieves very little, I wish he'd kick a high ball and let players who can actually use the ball to attack. Cips is the obvious choice, but there must be something about him that annoys his team. Lets hope his time in the Saxons will get his head on straight. Well done to England, the only team I like seeing England beat more than Australia is Scotland. I love all the "bad press" the Aussies give, it just makes victory all the more sweeter. |

Maybe in the long term Watson will move to fullback for England, with the backs shuffling along accordingly to bring in either Slade or Daly? |
