Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan The hunt for Webb Ellis

Offside line clearly not where I understand it to be

Pat on the head for Sinckler. Keep needling him, he could lose it.

Or turn the scrum around and they react perfectly in the scrum.

troyzer

England permanently offside.

ClanofLams

I know it’s not reffed much anyway but England are really taking the piss with the offside line.

How come Phipps isn't starting? Thought he was more in form that Genia

Naggdefy

England a bit under cooked?

Hopefully a sign of things to come in our game.

troyzer

Why is Youngs still starting? He's probably the worst scrum half still in the tournament.

Here are my unsolicited rankings based on world cup form:

1. DuPont
2. Davies
3. Nagare
4. Murray
5. Smith
6. De Klerk
7. Genia
8. Youngs

They just haven't really had the ball. Hard to judge.

Buer

Give Australia our half backs and they'd be proper contenders. No ability to do the sensible thing when needed.

Well that in itself is evidence. Also messed up in a carry.

JRant

That ball looked out there. England fortunate

troyzer

That was clearly an England wheel.

You mean Nic White? Seemed Genia is preferred over him now. I’d have started white but it seems Oz are looking to keep tempo high and not kick as much so Genia probably more suited to that.

Strange day when I'm agreeing with Cheika

JRant

Pocock, my word

steves2

What a turnover

troyzer

Watson is quietly one of the best wingers in the world.

I know he was a Lion but I think a lot of people have forgotten about him with all of his injuries.

I hope he gets a good run this year.

Buer

Slade was held there. Didn't see him release the ball when he tried to get up and go again.

ednwireland

patient from england
watson looking good

MadYaker

Great hands

Twice Aussie caught short out wide.

Naggdefy

Wishful thinking on my part. They're warming into it very well now.

Buer

Brilliant try. The handling and decoys in midfield are incredibly slick and seamless.

Hurrache

That try in that corner should have come a few phases ago, they had the overlap then too but bashed into the tackle.

troyzer

It's not really fair.

They'll marmalade you up front but still have the skills to fling the ball wide.

MadYaker

I forgot about this guy

bilston

Watson is looking a handful and Tuilagi is making his presence felt in midfield now.

Mantis Toboggan

Super kick from farrell

troyzer

Game over.

JRant

Disaster

ClanofLams

Really smart by Slade

ednwireland

brilliant

Mantis Toboggan

Great little kick through

Naggdefy

Brilliant from Slade.

Unbelievable. Sloppy passing and you're under your sticks at the other end.

Squidgy Black

Disaster from an Australian point of view.

England are looking strong.

Buer

Jones' call to drop Ford for Slade looking like a stroke of genius.

JRant

Itoje interfering with Genia just before the intercept. Got away with one there

Niallof9

England looking like overall winners beast u up front and out wide. Natural order, numbers wise really been a long journey to get to this point, but can see them dominating the rugby landscape

Mantis Toboggan

Phenomenal from farell again

I don't think England have significantly better players than us but we look like we play in a straitjacket compared to them.

razorblunt

Slade is such a quality player.

Itoje is approaching McCaw levels of fückery. It's beautiful.

Mantis Toboggan

Who's on Co comm on Eir?

Genia’s fault. Had hands on the ball for ages.

Inspector Coptoor

Can’t believe he wasn't pinged for that.

Terrible attempt at an offload from from Pocock
