Summer Rugby International Tours

[bridgdav]

Nice to see the Ref has finally twigged some of the Aussie game plan to spoil every ruck and maul. Collapsed, roll over, lay down and feign injury.. They are messing up every set piece, not allowing clean ball and it's just not on. Should be some cards out second half if they carry on.

First 15 from Australia was full on fluent rugby, pretty to watch if I wasn't English. Fair play to England, heads haven't dropped and survived the initial onslaught.

Should make a very interesting second half.

Come on England.

Fantastically taken try. Ford's pass was inspired.

[DocJock]

England forwards are hammering them now...

[London424]

Get the fk in!!!

[anonymous-user]

Great attitude from England in the dying seconds to go for the try. Very AB-esque.

[TheLimla]

Great try right at the end! Seems like the Aussies gave us a great idea to get a try right at the end!

Any highlights on ordinary TV today at all? I've been decorating the bedroom.

Nope either upgrade to Sky or down the pub for 8am sat drinking!



Wales played very well - I think my neighbours were woken up by me cheering on.


All Blacks have such strength - as they say it's not a 15 man game anymore it's 23 / heck no it's a 35man game and that's how we must view it.
Wales have some superb players and they played out of their skins today Ken sublime Gethin epic north best I've seen him in a long time Liam totally on it.

Well done Wales score line really doesn't reflect the test.




I wonder if Gatland rolled the dice too much subbing so many all at he same time which minutes later try try. Why not run your best players to the max in the first game and frankly for Wales if we won the first I'm pretty sure we wouldn't give a st about the other two it was game won 63 years of hurt done and legends made on the day.



Not seen England yet but well done - is the Grand Grand slam on for them? 6 Nations, Summer tour & Autumn internationals?
Hope Ireland do it today.

[DocJock]

Wales played really well. The scoreline flattered the ABs a wee bit imo.

Watching Liam Williams I was thinking Stuart Hogg must be worried about getting a place in the Lions squad now.

[XCP]

What a crap pitch it was for the Aus game.

[Welshbeef]

That was a harsh red card - he had committed though was it cynical knowing he had no chance and turning slightly to really smash him.

Hope he injured chaps ok it looked a huge impact.





Ireland looking to be close to getting a yellow now too!!

[DocJock]

Aye, I think a yellow was enough. I think Henshaw's was actually worse because he knew exactly what he was doing.

Quite a lot of debatably late tackles from Ireland though...

Possibly that's what made the refs mind up.

[DocJock]

Only certainty is that it's spoiled the match.

True.

Reminds me of Wal v France in the 2011 RWac Warburton. Criminal and we only just lost by a kick with 1 man off for 70mins

[DocJock]

Fantastic display from the whole Irish team. Well deserved victory.

I wasn't expecting that - superb effort well done Ireland well deserved.

[E24man]

Stunning and superbly strong performance from the Irish with 14 men for an hour of the game; the final 3 or 4 man bundle of the South African winger into touch typified their attitude from the sending off onwards.
