Internationals Spoilers: Australia -V- England

[Jesbass_old]

10 minutes in and it's a very physical match. But Australia look way too strong, and this could get messy.

Australia 10 (Slater, Inglis tries; Prince 1/1 goal)
England 0

Kick to come.

 

[Jesbass_old]

The kick is good. England smashed Slater right at the beginning, but their line has been pretty disjointed since.

Australia 12 (Slater, Inglis tries; Prince 2/2 goals)
England 0

 

[Jesbass_old]

Aussie have had 74% possession so far, and it's hot and humid in Melbourne, so it's no wonder the English are suffering.

 

[Jesbass_old]

England finally get a break with a penalty. Offside, I believe. 14 gone.

 

[Jesbass_old]

England looked pretty dangerous on the line, but lost the ball. Australia scrum feed.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Gallen forces the error. England get the scrum feed but have 70 metres to go...

 

[Jesbass_old]

A penalty gifts England a 10m run from the Kangaroos line.

Checking a possible English try - five Kangaroos tackling Roby. Looks to have lost it.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Try with BOTD.

Australia 12 (Slater, Inglis tries; Prince 2/2 goals)
England 4 (Roby try; kick to come)

 

[Jesbass_old]

Sinfield narrowly misses.

Australia 12 (Slater, Inglis tries; Prince 2/2 goals)
England 4 (Roby try; Sinfield 0/1)

 

[Jesbass_old]

It looks like I'm the only one interested, but that try seems to have woken up the English.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Burrow's doing really well, making breaks and half breaks. England again attacking Australia's line.

How's Prince going?

 

[Jesbass_old]

Folau gets the grubber, and the Kangaroos are fighting their way out from their line, but they've given it away and England have it back.

 

[Jesbass_old]

England knock on and blow a great opportunity.

 

[Jesbass_old]

How's Prince going?

Hasn't done anything to stand out, except the two conversions.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Kite knocks it on cold. England 35m out.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Folau tackled in goal. Repeat set. Surprisingly, one of the best games of the tournament so far. Very attacking football from both sides. England have done really well to regather.

 

[Jesbass_old]

Australia look off their game. The dropout was only 40m. England are agonisingly close again and again.

 

[Jesbass_old]

England clean up an Australian attack but the temperature will probably tell, especially at the end of the second half. 31 gone.
