Boring in my opinion. Best try was when the Aussies move the ball left and scored with multiple passes. That's what rugby is supposed to be about. It's turned into League with "legalized" illegal in my day mauls and phony rucks with no contesting to speak of. England has the size in the forwards and I can't blame them to use them and cut the backs out of the game, but New Zealand has had an excellent back division in recent years and might run rampant. Ironic how NZ took what the '71 Lions taught them and went to 15 man rugby in the last half century, and the women's side has followed the men to do the same and that's why they won in 2017.

In games where these misses don't amount to much its ok, but like yesterday's SCO v AUS men's game , a single kick could make that difference.

Pity about the officials gifting the Aussies their only points. A blatant "not ten" kick off preceded that passage of play. The Ball should have been in England's hands at a scrum on the centre spot, instead of with the Aussie backs..... It's not the first time in this tournament that the ref has made a decision for the badly losing side and against the laws of the game. It's almost like they've been told to give struggling sides a bit of a chance.....

@@Dickie2702 Yes, quite agree: it all started in the 1990s, when the RFU appointed two schoolteachers to be head of the refereeing department: like many teachers they could deliver a curriculum, but had no insight or innovation - and the game was changing fast. Referees with character were dispensed with, becausse they challenged the ego-led administrators and exposed them for what they were - which was hopeless. Rob Andrew (Squeaky) was in charge at the time, and if a good player (at times) he was a hopeless manager but 'safe' for the RFU - who eventually 'found him out' and saved themselves £265K a year - yes, that was his salary to achieving nothing. I could go on all day (oh please, do let me!) because I got 'chucked out' as well, for telling the truth about how referee assessments were being 'fiddled' to suit their favourites - completely true. Oh well, now 76, but still refereeing in France when time permits, using less whistle but more verbals these days (What was that penalty for, referee? For being a naughty Boy - now clear off, or I'll tell your Mum what a twerp you were being). Humble player retreats, chastened. Never, ever, failed, and still never does. Happy Days.

The back line was very much involved in the game yesterday. The fact that they didn’t make the points is simply a reflection of the conditions. A great team wins according to what they see in front of them, and today’s game was always going to be a forwards’ game. This team has shown, on many occasions, the strength and speed of their back line. You don’t win 29 games in a row by being a one trick pony. Oh, and out of England’s seven tries, only one was scored by the front five. Five came from the back row and one from a winger.

No. I don't believe in socialized medicine. Because the unions need something bargain. And under unionized medicine, it's more regulated.

When I played rugby, mauls such as in today's game were totally illegal. It's legalized obstruction. I don't know exactly when the law changed, but in the early and mid 2000s, teams employing this tactic started to get away with it, with players ahead of the ball carrier. That needs to change back to the old law. Very simply, a ball carrier could have teammates bind on behind and shove him/her forward. No teammate could be in front of the ball carrier. The ball carrier's back would face the opposition, and if the maul was stopped, then the player attempted to get the ball back to an acting scrum half or scrum half.
