Youve got to be yawning just as hard for all the aus kicking then.....Safer worlds through superior firepowerComment

A Wallaby win would have been faintly embarrassing. England were superior on the night, even if they never gave up trying to conjure ways to lose. Their pack murdered ours, our lineout went missing for half the match, their effort at the breakdown was enormous and their defence was lethal. Top effort from England, undermined by handling errors and silly penalties. The Wallabies showed their usual courage.
I was amazed by the condition of the ground. It rained solidly from midnight last night till midday today, with another burst half an hour before the match. Under those circumstances, the overall handling was surprisingly good." ... and the following morning I should see the Boks wallop the Wallabies again?" - Havak

The English were clearly superior, but the Australians played them well: They didn't give off penalties the French did. The English have had problems scoring tries, so not giving them penalties to convert was the best way to handle them. The wallabies failed to be dangerous, however, except for two actions by Tuqiri (one being the try, more of Larkham's action than Tuqiri, but still he scored the try). The English gave penalties and the ref helped them a lot, penalising them in scrum and sometimes when they were on their feet trying to get the ball. I think the way people can no longer try to grap the ball in rucks I find a bit annoying. That's going a bit far as it's becoming exceedingly hard for any team to fight for the ball. Next they'll decide that there are 2 uselss players on the field and rugby union will be gone.
I also find it strange that the ref didn't whistle several times when he obviously saw an australian offside in a ruck, but gestured to continue because the ball could live. He should at least have lifted his arm to signal an advantage.
I'll stop ranting, Tamerlin will probably find more to say.

Yep! The Dermotties can thank Mister Watson, I don't think they would have reached the extra time without him. Mr Watson's way of refereeing the scrums and rucks was particularly ridiculous in the second half. When the hell will we have good referees at least at the international level?I'll stop ranting, Tamerlin will probably find more to say.
Anyway...

What can I say, a real nailbiter. England deserve the win despite all the handling errors - it was them that kept Australia in the game. That dropped ball over the tryline must have had Havak banging his head against the wall.
Well done England, you deserve the title of champions.

Actually he banged his head into the TV set and is now parading in Leicester with a TV around his head and neck, risking death by drowning everytime a friendly soul pours some lager into the set.That dropped ball over the tryline must have had Havak banging his head against the wall.

Definitely. I still can't believe he dropped it. Woodward must have been furious! Perhaps we'll see less of Kay in future as a result of that.Originally posted by LDiCesare

BTW, if case any of you are wondering why I'm not commenting on the NZ/France game, it's because I haven't seen it yet and I don't know the result.

Can I ask the rugby fans who know the game (unlike me!), was the ref justified giving all those fouls to the Aussies in the second half?Comment
