@ Blue Bird:Hello Bluebird – with a bit of luck (a lot, actually) England should take this one
Maul held up by England… and they get the scrum… seconds left
@ Bullscot:Hi Bully
Big England scrum, they get the penalty… they just need to kick out… and do
Final Score: England 20 / 13 Australian Wallabies
OK, I’m within 2 points on my Bru pick, not too shabby
And that was the luck, they needed, Great stuff, well done England. But 2 very average sides today. Both played poorly for most of the match, but England fought back, and finished stronger, Will give them more confidence, and as for the Aussies, the slump just deepens.
Think the Wallabies can feel aggrieved by the Farrell try, which was awarded notwithstanding clear obstruction on Moore
Well I’m off to take the kids to an early Guy Fawkes night (can’t go on a school night) big bonfire, lots of musical fireworks and things for the kids to do, done only as the pons know how!!!! Cheers all, catch up later
189 @ Just For Kicks:
Tjorts…
Forgot about Guy Fawkes… it means the freegin dogs will go bonkers tomorrow… or is it Monday again… eish
So, no Grand Slam for the Wallabies…
Wallabies have won 3 from 11 this year…
England stay in No 3 spot on the IRB rankings
England could have done even better with Flood at flyhalf, in place of Farrell
My Man Of The Match would be Mike Brown
England get the Cook Cup
Ewen McKenzie must be scratching his head and tearing his hair (the little there is) out.
Tomorrow night’s game between Canada and New Zealand Maoris is at 20:00 SA Time, but it won’t be broadcast on TV in SA.
Next week sees some interesting games… and of course Wales play the Springboks too.
France / All Blacks
Italy / Wallabies
England / Pumas
…and some more…
Wonder what we’ll see in reviews of this game in the media…
Think England will beat the Pumas well…
Wallabies should take Italy
All Blacks will take Fance
Bokke SHOULD beat Wales… will be tough
