Must have been some game, narrow win over 84 pointsWell done England. Whitewashed the Aussies in their own backyardBrilliant!.
Cracking game. First team to win a series 3-0 in Oz since 1971. They just had pride to play for today and gave it their all but our boys are too good
Thank the stadium-cam.
Australia play good running rugby, make no doubt of that.
But their decision-making when under pressure (2nd test) has been debatable,
and the penalty count far too high when the opposition kicker is Farrell.
England showed great defensive skill in the 2nd test, and good attack in the others.
The next step to take is to consistently do both every 80 mins (which is the level
of the All Blacks) .
Eddie Jones seems to be the harsh taskmaster capable of getting both from the
squad under his charge.

Defence today was a lot poorer! The Blacks would have buried us by the hour mark.

Great comedy writer/performer. Her best bit was when, as old lady chat show host Mrs Merton, she asked Debbie McGee : "What first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?" She was wrong-footing celebrities in character before Sacha Baron Cohen had the same idea

Dennis Pennis to Steve Martin outside a Gala Opening of some dreadful movie:
"Steve...Steve...Dennis Pennis from Channel 4. Steve, why aren't you funny anymore?"
or my particular favourite to Demi Moore:
"Demi,...Hi, if it was in the right movie and the part really demanded it, would you consider keeping your clothes on for a movie?"
Caroline was out of the same mould. Sod being fawning to these people. Funny is funny after all. She'll be missed.

The line she wrote for Jim Royle " I paid a £1 for these pants and 50p of them are stuck up the crack of me arse"

I’d never been a Djokovic fan, but I am now. After a monumental upset loss today, he was asked what happened, and said, "He served very well--he always does--and overpowered me." No "I felt bad", "didn’t have my A game", "dog ate my homework" mealy mouth crap everyone else says these days. He was big enough to let somebody else shine. Djokovic is class.

Class is not a word I immediately associate with this odious individual. Talented undoubtedly, but he has continually put his self gratification and silly antics ahead of showing respect for his opponent when he celebrates winning a tennis match.
Class is Roger Federer who shows respect for his opponent by shaking hands immediately and then conducting civilised and dignified post match interviews etc. Djokovic's tennis racket has more manners then he does.
Federer saying to Marcus Willis - world 772 - after their match that he belongs on that court was just a moment of that class. Encouraging lowly ranked opponents is not what most of them would do.

Andy Murray, meanwhile, would probably have security bundle them off the court once the match was wrapped up...
Not sure why people are so anti Murray. He plays more Davis Cup than Federer, Djokovic and Nadal and takes emerging british players to his winter training camp. I think he's an absolutely top man.
Mark Zuckerberg gives more money to charity than a Hindu will see in twelve lifetimes, that doesn't mean he isn't an utter turd.
There's numerous well-documented reasons that outline why Mark Zuckerberg is an utter turd.
Join in Smithy...hopefully they are not fasting and there is food available!
Oh,I've been fasting since Newcastle 5 Spurs 1!!!!!!! Biggest screw up since that Liverpool chairman voted Arsenal in to Division 1 at Spurs expense.
Wonder how much Arsenal gave him.........?
