Australia vs England - Sunday 17th May

[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.

As I recall, that wasn't an unfair decision for the mores of the time. You'd've said it was ridiculously harsh had that been a card - clearly wasn't intentional, so just a penalty for the flying clothes line.

Puja

[Puja]

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!

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

Jinx!

Puja

[Puja]

Gods, I miss Lewsey.

Puja

[Danno]

Battle of the mobile networks

Yeah fine, Puja, you get to deaden my arm/kick my balls*

(*I really hope you're not originally Irish)

[Danno]

Some of this commentary is gold

GO YOU GOOD THING

[loudnconfident]

did Jonny win that penalty? Like against NZ//

[Danno]

Fuck me, a 10m penalty. Against our former lord and saviour

[Puja]

We'd be fuming if Fazlet did that.

Puja

[Danno]

Good lord

[Danno]

We'd be fuming if Fazlet did that.

Puja

To be fair, I think we'd be astounded if it happened at all. Best weapon in a ref's pocket but they always leave it at home

[Puja]

Cohen rounded Latham by such a margin there that it felt like Elliot Daly had put on a gold shirt.

Puja

Would you just take on the fucking commentary for these streams

[Stom]

Just watching Latham you think...he wasn't actually very good, was he?

[Danno]

Watching this reinforces the idea we can expect a lot... A *lot* more from our scrum halves

[Puja]

Just watching Latham you think...he wasn't actually very good, was he?

I have the suspicion that this was just a one-off nightmare - I remember him doing a lot of damage to us in the late 90s.

Puja

[Puja]

"No punch thrown," quoth the blind touch judge. Blue touch paper lit.

I'd forgotten Australia scored a try. I think history has been a bit unfair to Wendell Sailor based on today's performance.

Puja

[Mellsblue]

Very gentlemanly of us to give them a consolation try.

[Mellsblue]

Love how much the commentators love Lewsey’s tackle.

[Danno]

Tackle efficiency +85%

[Puja]

Gets a clip round the ear, responds by breaking Rogers' ribs by driving Rogers' own forearm back into them. Gods, I miss Lewsey.

Puja

[loudnconfident]

thx for the stream - good game - can we hope for the RWC?

[Beasties]

Cheers Puja.

[Puja]

Only 2 subs used - Leonard, Regan, Borthwick, King, and Luger get splinters in their arse all game.

Puja

[Mellsblue]

That was fun. Cheers. Record attendance too, I think?

I bet Borthwick’s nose still started bleeding after 60mins.
