England’s defensive pressure has won the game today. Very mature performance.

Handling errors - told ya

Hoe did the TMO say he was happy with both - He does sound a bit Aussie

How on earth was he happy with the second pass !!!!

It’s not a “good day” for the Aussies Eddie Jones’ substitutions were well placed & the fact Watson scores is great.

Hopefully another good game to come but have to agree, All Blacks to win.

A great performance from England there, and it was a good tempered, clean match. No reds, no yellows. Hopefully Ireland do a number on the all blacks now, and set up a semi of a lifetime.

Reading too much into beating this Australian side is dangerous.

That said England didn't do too much wrong - Bring on Ireland in the Semi

True. But they’ve beaten them by 24 points. And Australia were able to beat the All Blacks a couple of months again, so whilst it’s not the best Aussie team ever, they’re hardly mugs.

[768]

That was solid. Only one team really standing in the way now.

Forwards win matches. Aussies out muscled. I doubt any of the Aussie forwards would get in the England team.

[Road2Ruin]

Australia were good. England though...amazing. The defence was one of the best I have seen so far, the attack, measured and well taken. Bring on Ireland v NZ now...

[spikeyhead]

That was the best England performance I've seen for a long time.

...and I've no idea how the TMO could possibly think that he should be happy with both passes.

[PhilboSE]

Dream game for England in that Australia were very predictable in how they were going to play but don’t have the accuracy to execute against a top nation.

Very well played by England, even Sinckler kept his discipline. Thought the ref was average but the TMO on the Oz forward pass was risible. Never before heard a TMO try to tell the ref what he decision should be before anyone has even seen the clip...

Mental, was he watching it from the side of the monitor? Miles out.

I thought the in game commentary on ITV sounded really harsh on England in the first half. I prefer a neutral unbiased commentary, but they kept emphasising how Australia were doing nothing wrong (which was fair enough) but England were just lucky.

England gave away too many penalties, but apart from that were excellent. Australia are rarely crap in a big tournament situation but just weren't quite good enough here. I suspect the pitch wasn't man enough to cope with the multiple scrum failures.

Can't wait for the remaining fixtures, nice to get ours out of the way early.

[Short Grain]

Well played England. Brilliant pressure to keep Aussie's making mistakes. TMO happy with Both passes??
