Right game practice - England will defend the maul better than these guys

NTA

Better - faster, and thinking on their feet

Yeetyaah

Only juuuuust a try. A blade of grass in it.

Yeetyaah

Rodda gets POTM

Yeetyaah

Aussie get the bonus point.

mariner4life

That was nice from start to finish

Even from Simmons

Yeetyaah

Good stuff from Tupou.

NTA

Funny how handling works better when the opposition are fucked.

Simons with the sidestep

antipodean

27 - 8

There should be a court in the change room for that effort.

NTA

Kafe is so full of shit. You can't say Tupou is in the QF 23 just yet. Two other THPs in the squad in decent form

Yeetyaah

Hopefully see Cheika go off post match about some bullshit.

Yeetyaah

@NTA yeah hahaha, throws one good offload

Probably still jerking off to footage of him running over the Uruguayan under 12s

NTA

In his defence tho: Tupou was the support man for the three tries scored when he was on the field: one maul and two runaways.

Excellent, apparently we should expect Hooper and Pocock again next week. That'll work.

NTA

Agree with Horan: this is a hit out of the kind we needed. Set piece tested early but dominant in the end. Shit conditions for handling.

England will be another level. Picking a team is fucking hard.

Not really. The team that nearly beat Wales, but pick a decent 10, and swap the halfbacks

Back row balance needs looking at, particularly bench option. Beale may not be fit. Hodge back in? DHP? Petaia probably not.

Kepu/AAA/Tupou as starting/bench TH prop is interesting as the LHPs are sorted. Can we risk Coleman?

And who is this decent 10 you speak of? 🤔

Ten kicks from hand in a wet weather game with 75% possession - that was a plan to stress test the team imo.

It just might against England, though. The Poms play two open sides in Curry and Underhill, so less reason to abandon Pooper against them than against a conventional back row formation.

Cunderhill or Underry?

Neither beats Pooper or Hocock
