England being schooled here. They need to get to half-time in touch on the scoreboard. Aussies ruling the breakdown. Care still struggling.
Don’t think having a NZ ref will ‘help’ England. Ireland had Barnes - who is arguably the best ref in the World - and the game was reffed the ‘NH way’ so to speak. I’m glad for that same reason that we have an English ref also against the Bokke.
England try right on half-time. Incredibly they lead after so much Aussie dominance. 10-11. Farrell not kicking well.
Yeah, Care was really struggling. I don't think England were 'awful'. The Aussies were very good and we were below par. Brilliant to go in ahead. However, if England don't improve 2nd half they're going to lose.
