Harsh on the Aussies but who cares

[ScouseFox]

cant believe wales struggled against these, they're basically a bigger samoa

Lot of the games I've seen so far have been fairly one sided so this is great to watch 

[st albans fox]

This game not over by a long way but I wonder if strength of England’s bench will decide it ..... the Aussies look far better going forward than England but taking a few too many risks aswell

Yeah OK I'll bite. 

 

We didn't tbf, we ****ing hammered them first half and got ridiculously complacent at half time. 

 

Given England's habit of second half collapses you might want to be careful

 

They are shit though you're right. 

[Nalis]

Sets up a decent second half. Lot of effort from the Aussies for 9pts though whereas the England 17 appeared to be a bit more effortless and clinical.

 

Probably the best first half performance from the Aussies in this tournament, though that isnt saying much.

nah these are well good tbf, can't believe the schedule meant we couldn't lose on purpose to get the easier quarter final against wales 

[Nalis]

Well worked try.

[Finnegan]

You've gotta love a prop line break. 

[Nalis]

Sinclair should do the Van Nistelrooy peno celebration v Andorra in front of his opposite number.

Former tight head here. 

 

I love.  Just love it, when a prop scores. 

 

Gwon lad. 

[foxfanazer]

Pace!

[Vacamion]

 

Dat scream... 

[Nalis]

Always feel like I'm watching a prop line break in slow motion.

[UniFox21]

How come some teams charge down the penalty kicker whereas others just stand there?

[Nalis]

The minute to take a kick has been fully utilised in the world cup, they should cut the rule to 45 seconds moving forward.

[Finnegan]

Given England are the Spurs of rugby and love a second half bottle job, it was an important try as well tbf. 

 

Australia came out brightly but England have turned it in to a net points gain to start the half. 

 

If Australia had got the next score again the game would have gotten very interesting. 

[ealingfox]

I swear advantage lasts for about 20 minutes in rugby

No particular reason tbf. 

 

Probably depends on the technique of the kicker and the acceleration and leap of the defenders you have. 

 

You can only charge from the try line and only when the kicker starts his run up. 

 

So you need to be fast, need the kicker to have a very slow technique and ideally be easily rattled as its often more psychological than not. 

 

Very little point doing it to a confident and relaxed Faz.
