when the ball is held up over the line the defending team gets a goal line drop out instead of the attacking team getting a 5m scrum
England v Wales; England lots, Wales a few less.
Wales were decent at times, England were decent at times. The good point was that England are building a lot of quality depth. We have 3 good players in virtually all positions, and looks like we're building.
I wouldn't be surprised if Wales win next week - England, Wales and Ireland are very close; home advantage usually being enough to get the win.
I'm glad England won for no other reason than Wales being the no.1 ranked team for anything longer than a day would have been an ever bigger joke than the 1 day they were the no.1 ranked team for.
Who is coaching England now-a-days?Quote:

The Eddie Jones v Michael Cheka results:

We average 15 point wins per game over the period. But, you lot are improving, so should be a decent game.

Gotta say, I'm very happy with this squad. I suspect we'll lose to Wales on Saturday, but we're building nicely to be one of the best 4 or 5 teams in the tournament; I reckon England, Ireland, Wales, SA, Kiwis or Australia could win this tournament...
They're still whining about it here . . . even the sportscasters in the news . . . whine, whine, whine . . . first it's no red card . . . now it's the "choke-holds", Wobblies playing dirty . . .
Honestly, worse than the Poms
It is getting pretty silly now, they were magnanimous on evening they lost, but as the realization set in, so did the whining.Quote:

The Aussies were deserving winners on the day. It'll be interesting to see how it goes at Eden Park this weekend - I'll be watching. :)
I happen to think it's good to see the ABs lose every now and then, especially to Australia . . . it keeps it interesting and is a real rivalry. Most of the Kiwis I know here feel the same . . . plus they're a bit tired of everything being about the ABs, all the time.
Anyway, World Cup . . . It'll have to be the Wobblies with England or uNZud losing out

Haha . .. yes, and this obnoxious cretin on news at six on Channel 1 https://teakdoor.com/attachment.php?a...id=36198&stc=1Quote:

Saw the same thing, I think England would need to win by X amount as well. And yes it’s ridiculous. Obviously there’s some algorithm and calculations behind it all but fucked it if makes sense to me.
1 more hour
Don't forget ... All Blacks and the Wallabies at Eden Park, Auckland.
Kick-off:
Aussie time 5:35pm
Thai time 2.35pm
Australia's SE Island (KIWI) time ... about 2 decades ago :)

A rain squall just passed over the house . . . nasty weather
Trying to find more two non-Pasifika in the 'All Blacks' lineup
Having said that and shedding my dislike :) for the overbearing ABs, I can't see the Wobblies repeating Perth
Endless offences on the line by the Kiwis; time after time they get away with these professional fouls without yellow cards...
Kiwis look powerful, but their discipline is terrible, could have been several yellow cards for persistent fowls, not rolling away, and I've seen reds given for that neck judo throw... Hometown reffing to say the least.
Beale is worth 20 points to the opposition, just not good enough to be fullback at this level.
Both "new" Kiwi wingers are playing really well.
Shoulda been red.Quote:
