HT 13 - 13
Illegal challenge by Faz..surely..
Eng ok up front but lacking lustre in attacking ideas
Aus tails will be up..

I mean it's not, as it hasn't been given, but it should be

Why isn't that a penalty try exactly?

Comfortably

Hooper saying it’s a shoulder charge. Peyper replies the carrier dropped his shoulder.....which he’s allowed to.

Should be pen try at least...

And the explanation from Peyper is bull

Shocking tackle attempt by Farrell.

It must be bad if Barnes is questioning it.

OK, so for us to be level there... Is embarrassing. Aus were atrocious.

And I'm really sorry Dasher and Rich, but it's Farrell who needs to shoulder most of the blame

There is no Farrell mafia.

Stone cold pen try and yellow.

He’s never going to learn until he starts getting penalised.

Should have been a penalty try and a yellow and we should be going in behind on the scoreboard.

Daly shocking again too.

One day the Fazgit tackle technique is going to cost us a big game.

Can see the ratings now
Farrell: heroic defence that stopped a sure try 10/10

Aussies have been crap.

It's laughable.

How can this be so with one of the best players in the world on the pitch? An inspirational leader, who galvanises all around him. His mere presence wins games and he doesn't miss kicks...or tackles.

This cannot be so.

If we can't beat this Aussie team, then we're in real trouble.

Fark me. “Where’s the leader in the forward pack?” This time last week it was all Ford’s fault.

Will I get told off if I suggest that Farrell is responsible for 14 or Australia's 13 points?

(That call from Pepper was utterly absurd)

Both props going well. Wilson tidy. Slade looking sharper. That's all I have

It's going to be interesting to see how early replacements are made and who they are. I really do not want to see Farrell at 12.

It’s affecting his decision making, too.

I think Slade has been a mixed bag.

The pack have been good. The backs have been crap. Which kind of hints that, just maybe, the problem may be somewhere between 8 and 11...I wonder...

Maybe both?

As long as Shields stays on then we have every chance of taking the spoils

Slade... This match feels similar the Saffer one - probably his best in an England shirt, but I'm still not sure it amounts to "good"

Am I just judging him too harshly because I had such high hopes for him (and feel he's out of position)?

To be fair he is up with the play some of the time so there is a marginal improvement. I'd still bring Hughes on in his place though.

Yes
