DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 We are now into the territory where anything can happen, history and the form books go out the window. But I do think England will have more than enough to power past the Aussies today. Think it will be a difficult game but do think England are just a bit too strong all over compared to Australia. England by 10. New Zealand vs Ireland is too close too call. If Murray, Sexton and Co turn up like they did 12-18 months ago this one could go to the wire. If they don't I can't see anything but a Kiwi win. Think New Zealand by 5. (Hope I'm wrong as I'd love an England vs Ireland Semi). Here we go!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Australia have started quickly and well. England a little sluggish, those 2 weeks of rest have probably had an effect. England so far though have had effectively a 10 minute defensive spell and weathered it well. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,483 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just about to say the same thing. I think 3-0 considering the pressure is quite a relief. Good territory for us now though... Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Hooper with a crucial turnover! Think that would have ended in an England score. Link to post Share on other sites

DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Think we will start to see England ramp up the pressure over the next 10-15 minutes. We seem to just be starting to get into our groove. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Just as I type that! What an intercept, what a clever kick through! May once again with the wheels to gather! Link to post Share on other sites

smogsterking the Inspirati 2,483 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 2 great conversions as well. Slade justifying his place ahead of Ford right now. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Yeah Farrell seems focused to another level to slot both of those. Also considering the start Australia have had for us to limit them to 6 is insane! Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Tuilagi is such an important player for us, he sucks in so many opposition players, which leaves space for our other backs! Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,483 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 We need to keep our discipline here. Given where the Aussies were 3 points isnt a bad result prior to half time. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 After the start Australia had I think 17-9 is a very good score to have got on them. Think we are looking at tiring them out to come on strong 2nd half. (I hope at least). Link to post Share on other sites
