England vs. Oz - Live Chat & Banter

 Game under way, a lot of pressure, let's hope it results in good rugby.

 First scrum to Poms.

 It was out. Great field position for Oz.

 Good defence from En gland.

 ...Good luck becs....watchout for these sons of sheep stealers...they can be dangerous w thout Qua-doh

 I am supporting England due to the OZ /NZ campaign to get the Jarpies.

England are doing ok so far.

 England unde r the cosh thus far. OZ scrum looking solid.

 Oz scores after some good defence from Poms.

 Its three all and pretty even.

England attacking with purpose. Oz wins a turnover though.

 Oz wins a scrum penalty.

 Poms win scrum penalty.

 Good try by Ozzies. England must play in Oz half.

 Beeno, seems like my view of the game is ahead of yours. It sometimes happens with the internet feed. See my post above & the time stamp when Oz scored. If so, kiwis ahead again.
Scrum penalty to Oz.

 Foley scores another try.

 this looks quite desperate for the poms

 Yes, could be a route. Yellow cards could change things.

England need to show something else, I want the poms winning this, will be a little less special without the hosts in the knockouts. 

 JW typica L NZ THINKING.POMS IN BIG TRTOUBLE

 Commentators think England is playing well except for the breakdown. Of course there is the small matter of the scoreboard.
I must say England are playing better than I thought they would overall. We will see what corrections the coaches make.

 Ginea delivery is really slow.

  Oz chose a scrum, real confidence. Poms were always proud of their scrum but the tables have turned.

 Score hasn't changed for a while now, game is even.

 Try England, they deserved that.

poms now only 10 points behind,....... anything could happen,....... interesting last 20'

 Tide is starting to turn in England's favour. Oz has to do something, a big play is needed.

 Nick Phipps doesn't know passing,....... incredible in a scrumie

Brad Barrett is useless. 

 Burgess on??????
lancaster wants to lose the match or what???

 England draw within a converted try. Benches have to have an impact we will see how this pans out.

Mario Ledesma, the argie hooker, has made an awesome job with the aussie scrum,..... incredible how they've improved

 Penalty & yellow card is a fair call.

 well, that's it,....... England out of their WC

 8 mins left but miracles would have to happen for England to win.

 The inevitable yellow ruins the game.
