The result will be interesting. I doubt much of the game play will be.

SH boys don't post when they lose. They're not used to it and it confuses them.

Looks as though the Bledisloe should be safe for another year.

Very strange game. Too much possesion by Aus and too many mistakes. They should have taken some of their penalties instead of going for the try.
England was good but lucky as well. Some of the ref decisions were weird at least.
Overall Jones has improved England and moved them up a level. Suspect that they will win the 3rd game.
