The most impressive thing about Hooper and Pocock is that they never stop and seem like they could run, tackle, ~~be offside~~ etc all day long

Yep. England discipline has been very good when defending at the moment.

by wales606 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:36 pm

Bad mistake from Watson, gives Aus another platform to get some points.

by Totallybiasedscarlet Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

Who's the new eng LH? He's driving at 90deg!!!

by wales606 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

What on earth are Aus doing? They should be playing it safe at the moment!

TMO saved them there

by InjuredYetAgain Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

Anthony Watson's boots must be the same shape as a stealth bomber. That "kick" was shocking. The guy is like greased lightening and he does that??!!

by mikey_dragon Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

I think they're going for the high tackle decision? Easy 3 points for Aus.

by glamorganalun Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

Yellow for both!

by **RDW** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

Neck high off the ball tackle -penalty

by nathan Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:37 pm

You been drinking scarlet?

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:38 pm

Farrell you idiot

by Duty281 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:38 pm

Surely the knock-on was first?

by Fernando Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:38 pm

Pen & a yellow for England.

Game over.

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:39 pm

No worse than hooper

by mikey_dragon Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:39 pm

Who gets the YC, Farrell or Burgess?

by wales606 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:39 pm

Ooooh, surely it is over now - assuming Foley kicks this.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:39 pm

Shaun Veldsmans intervention crucial in deciding this game. It's yellow. It will be 3 points.

I agree with the penalty, yellow is harsh.

by Duty281 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Wow. A yellow card for that, and Hooper got nothing in the first half?

Pathetic officiating.

by alfie Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Those who wanted Farrell off the pitch have their way at last Smile

by glamorganalun Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Farrell off but the other tackle was just as bad or worse.

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Binned, it's Beckham all over again but this result ain't his fault. If England lose.

by kunu Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Ugh. The amount of times these sort of communication problems occur between the tmo and ref... The two completely confused each other there

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Uses his arm how is that different from lydiate on Wood?

What a joke

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Thought Burgess would be going in the bin at first, didn't even see OF's hit. I can't argue with the yellow tbh. Although how Hooper avoided a yellow card in the first half is beyond me, so maybe it is harsh.

by **Notch** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:40 pm

Truthfully Burgess' tackle was also a penalty.

by **RDW** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

I thought Burgess' was worse TBH!

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

Didn't even get a replay!

by nathan Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

by Guest Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

Yellow is harsh. Wasn't there a tackle off the ball in the first half that was only a penalty?

by Fernando Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

13-23 10 to go 14 men it's over lads.

by **Pal Joey** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

Thank goodness.

by Duty281 Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:41 pm

Knock-on was the first offence, though, or does that not matter?

by glamorganalun Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:42 pm

Sporting crowd for the kicker

by mikey_dragon Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:42 pm

That must have been a tough decision, as both Farrell and Burgess committed an offence. Kind of feel for England there. There's been lots of high tackles and twisting necks at the breakdown in this tournament and not that many yellow cards.

by rapidsnowman Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:42 pm

Foley in a class of his own!

by Shifty Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:42 pm

Yeah me too Burgess was yellow, Farell was just an off the ball collision, either way someone needed to be binned

by nathan Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Have to say aus have had the rub of the green, that's me being generous

by Hammersmith harrier Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

The Hooper one which was worse doesn't even go to the TMO but that gets a yellow card, sorry Poite but you've had a shocker.

Not if it's foul play. Please correct me if I'm wrong as I haven't time now to look it up.

by kingraf Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Well, at least England now have something to blame. Weren't overtuning a ten point deficit anyway... But the yellow brings that touch of injustice which makes these defeats palatable.

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

It was a penalty nothing more, we all know that, if that was Ford he would have got away with it

by majesticimperialman Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

It is getting worse for England.

could be by,by world cup by the look of it.

by glamorganalun Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Lancaster bombed out of his job?

by nathan Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Could wiggleworths shout any louder that he was taken out!

by milkyboy Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Gotta be honest, burgess was a penalty... But Very harsh on farrell. Very... Considering what's been let go in the tournament... And in the first half of this game

by Fernando Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:43 pm

Another aussie pen

by **Rugby Fan** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:44 pm

I don't think England should exit this tournament feeling unlucky. We just haven't been good enough.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:44 pm

5 penalties at the scrum - oh dear

by TightHEAD Sat Oct 03, 2015 9:44 pm

This game was made for Danny Care!
