Fantastic. The series win was brilliant but the whitewash epic.
Really good test match to watch, as the pundits were saying before the game third tests tend to be really open and that's what we got. Australia were better in quite a few areas, lots of missed tackles from England given last weeks efforts. Brown has been pretty poor for me this series, poor decision making, running rather than kicking the ball in the wrong areas.
England the smarter test match side under the tutelage of EJ.
Brilliant.

Have I missed a really good match then? I saw the first two, but my wife is working today, leaving me with childcare. I managed to turn that into a 2 hour mountain bike ride, so not all bad, but sounds like it was a nailbiter!!
Def worth watching if you can. Great performance. England with a lot more attacking intent than the first two matches.
With EJ it seems like they're finally starting to use the scrum as an attacking platform rather than to win penalties. I've never understood why they try and push over from 5 metres when you can win quick ball and have Billy V pick and go. No back in world rugby is stopping him with a 5 metre run at them 1 on 1!

He's always been able to hook, I'm guessing under the old regimes the plan was never to play that way...it was always about winning pens or trying to walk it over.
Hartley has, agreed, but it seems a great many can't or as you say choose not to. Mind you the angle the ball goes in it hardly matters!and how's about this for a top try from the Japanese?
