I just wanted to say thanks for posting all these. I live in America and I am tired of all the cray baby players we have here. I found Rugby, watched and learned, and fell in love. I watch all I can . Again, thank you.

[@anthonylucido1195]

Same here brother.

Played rugby all my life. I lived in NYC for a few years and saw a few NFL games at the Giants stadium. No contest. Rugby wins every time.

[@JW-wn2oo]

Im with yall, love this game... I've found so many good matches but nobody around to talk to about um lol ??? Gave up American football in 2017

Welcome to simply the greatest sport on the planet. 😁

It was great watching the first match from the series in Australia, can we have some more of that please? It was such a great series.

What a game!

I was at this game with my Dad and my neighbour (who’s a year younger) and his dad. This was an incredible experience.

Great to see that number 7s aren't immune to punishment, even if they are captain, these days. It would be terrible to go back to the days of McCaw.

Stuart Barnes vampiric commentary sucks the life out of the most compelling of games. Surely we can do better?

I have been searching for the right word for years...thank you.

[@jakemoore1973]

it's so bad

[@jamesangus8504]

“Vampiric”? I don’t understand what that means. I quite like the combination of Stuart Barnes and Miles Harrison. They are fair and informative. Just compare their, and his, commentary in the series payed in Australia in 2016 to that by Australian commentators in the same series. I thought the English commentators, including Barnes, were far more balanced and intelligent.

[@fozzbozz3285]

As a wallabies fan rewatching 6 years later, this match still makes me want to kill myself. A year in the life of a wallabies fan involves one massive clutch win that's really satisfying, and then we just proceed to lose 5 matches in a row afterwards. I mean come on, we lost to Italy last year, that's how bad its gotten. Hopefully eddie will rough up the players into a decent team this year.

[@soddof7972]

Chieka really has a face you want to slap

[@TheAseer2020]

How was gold 7 offside for his try? 7 was offside at 13s kick also 14 was onside for this kick, then the next player to touch the ball was 14 it looks like he kicked the ball to the right. At this point in time 7 was behind 14 and onside for this kick. I am still new to rugby and am trying to learn the game by watching games and reading World Rugby Law pdf. Lol or is he in violation of the 10 meter law? But the law book also say that an offside player is put onside as soon as an offside player retires behind a onside player.

[@leaflover8444]

Albert Alberto 14 didn’t kick the ball if you look closely so it would go back to 7 being offside at 13s kick

[@matthias2756]

14 missed the ball completely

[@TheAseer2020]

Ok thanks for the help. If 14 would have kicked the ball would that have put 7 onside making the try good?

[@matthias2756]

Albert Alberto (edit) he has to stop his run to go back onside

[@nicholaswhite3811]

I know I’m coming to this late so you might not get my comment. At the point 13 kicks 7 is in front and therefore,offside If 7 does not interfere with play he is not liable to sanction. An extreme example would be left winger kicks the ball and right winger 40 metres away is in front. Technically right winger is offside but it would be ruinous to the game to penalise him. Referees refer to this as ‘material’ to the game. BUT as soon as 7 takes a step forward he is compounding his offside position and makes himself liable to sanction. Had 7 stopped and waited to be put onside by either 13 or 14 he would have complied and been able to then continue. The law requires him to retire but a reasonable referee would be satisfied if he stood still and wait to be put onside as long as by standing still he does not affect the game. Unless he is within 10 metres of where the ball lands then his only option is to retire, immediately. 7 made no attempt to place himself onside and therefore was liable to sanction. A penalty against him for offside. Of course if 7 waited to be put onside he would not have been in a position to ground the ball. Your assumption that a player who is onside can run in front of an offside player and put them onside is correct. The offside player cannot, however, move forward until he is put onside.

Well england kick off here

@@matin1122 That is what I call tokenism. The overall temper is however heavily pro England. That you are able to single out these comments is proof of my contention.

[@matthias2756]

David Robertson if you think evidence against your point somehow reinforces it then you are beyond reasoning with

[@davidw.robertson448]

England was lucky with the decisions. Two Wallabies' tries questionably disallowed and one English try questionably given That's a potential 21 point swing in England's favour. That was bound to sap the Wallabies' confidence which is crucial. P.S. Not unsurprisingly there are many English supporters who disagree with me. However that is true of every match. The referees always make questionable decisions that tend to favour one side or another. it is part of the modern game and one has to accept it. Over the years the number of rules has increased so that today it is difficult to see the wood for the trees. Now we find teams playing to draw penalties when they are within kicking distance, instead of trying to score tries. The game has become more like American football every year, highly structured. If you disagree try watching games from the 1970's and compare them with games today, even from the beginning of the century. It is debatable which game is more entertaining but that they are very different is self evident.

[@onemanrioter]

There was nothing questionable for the 1st disallowed try. Hooper never stops his run at any point.

[@TheCremeSupreme]

To me the 2nd try for the aussies is pretty clear as offside as well, as there was a man in front of the ball carrier blocking the tackle. It's irrelevant if the tackle would've been effective or not, it's the fact that he never got the chance to make a clean tackle.

[@thecuttingsark5094]

OR, at 7.00. England knock on was in fact Aussie knock back. Perfect try scoring opportuniy

[@matthias2756]

Sorry mate but all those decisions were correct, no luck involved

[@davidw.robertson448]

@@matthias2756 I get it Matt, you support England and see the game from that point of view. Personally I am not involved in that way, so I believe I am more objective, naturally.

Ya gotta love Mr Underhill. Typical British Bulldog..leave all the aussies to run their mouths about just how good they all think themselves to be… Mr Underhill quietly goes about proving just how good he truly is. Same too regarding Mr Launchberry (sp), Mr Lawes and a few other of our English players. These guys replicate all those brave airman who stood so defiantly against overwhelming odds. Britain, never, ever will be afraid of those who run their big mouths.
