Brown playing well so far, rubbish kicking game though from both half backs.

Aussies as usual give it but can't take it. No way was that a penalty from Watkins. Time we went for an early 90's response and got stuck into em. Not condoning violence, but I am

We need a bit of c*nt in us.... if Cronk wants to get up pushing, I've no issues if Watkins gets 10 for giving him a dig.... don' be in awe of them.

Just get Bateman a bit angry, he's the only one on the pitch who would do anything.

Listening to the game on five live you can hear the crowd and there seems to be a great atmosphere in the stadium but on arriving home I have put BBC one on and the crowd noise is virtually zero making it Seem as though there is no atmosphere

This is one of the worst kicking games I have ever seen, never mind at international level

It doesn't help that Jonathan Davies is commentating.

Agree with all the above. I want to see us get stuck into them.
I wouldn't complain if somebody was to get binned for throwing a few. Obviously at a time when it is deemed worthy, I don't mean I just want somebody to start punching randomly.
But win or lose, we need to let the Aussies know they've had a game, and to leave them not looking forward to the next time we play. If that means been grubby and over-aggressive then I'd like to see it.

Get Hicks in an England shirt.

I'm amazed at how flat Australia are standing when camped on our line.
