Do, or do not. There is no try.

Try asking the thousands of Fijians who have voluntarily joined the British Army in the last twent years and brought their families with them to the UK. I suppose they’re also being taken advantage of are they?

Choosing England rugby pays bills: Hughes

A little over the top I admit David after re-reading.

England whitewashes the Wallabies

John, that’s right and that’s my opinion. This is a discussion forum website after all and many of DLs articles aren’t particularly nice.

England whitewashes the Wallabies

Fair enough.

England whitewashes the Wallabies

Mate, you have zero credibility on this website and you are a rather unpleasant little man to boot.

England whitewashes the Wallabies

Agreed. DL is a humourless bore. His predictions for a WB series win have made him look utterly clueless and his lack of class and humility in defeat have made him look just plain nasty…as per usual.

England whitewashes the Wallabies

Agreed re the penalty. My recollection might be wrong but I thought Hooper was lying all over the ball a the time too.

Highlights: Wallabies go down to England in points-fest

Touché…I think.

Another humble, down to earth and sportsmanlike post, well done to you.

Jesus Christ, change the record man. WBs and Eng both played exciting rugby tonight and guess what, we lost to the better side. Show some sportsmanship

Much better composure this week. Still can’t understand why the WBs aren’t chipping over the Rush defence more though. Eng still look really ominous….subs will decide this I think.

Yep, when in doubt, cold hard denial of the truth will see you through every time.

The Wallabies are too tired to sprint

Much like the hubris on this website about two and a half weeks ago.

Toomua, Skelton in for third Wallabies Test against England

Because of course the poms don’t have any improvement in them do they? I think we all saw how that gem was disproven from the first to the second tests.

Five things the Wallabies did not get wrong

The poms played to the conditions in the second test; greasy ball. They played it brilliantly. To suggest that they didn’t play well given the conditions is erroneous. I won’t be at all surprised if having won the series comfortably that the poms don’t come out and use their back three far more. Let’s not forget the Pom back three is much quicker than the WBs.

Five things the Wallabies did not get wrong

Both teams niggled, one lost its collective head and one didn’t. Ironic that many laughed at Hartley’s promotion to Capt given his well publicised on field infractions saying it was only a matter of time before his temperament would cost Eng. EJ seems to have got the best out of his Capt who seems to have matured enormously under his guidance. It seems that Cheika’s belligerent and surly nature is rubbing off far too much on Steve Moore. Clear contrast between two coaches.

Nine talking points from the Wallabies vs England second Test

Interestingly it was Hartley that many said was a bad choice as Capt for Eng due to his many well publicised on pitch infractions and that it was a matter of time before he had a mind fart and got sent off. It seems to me that he is thriving as Capt under EJ and has shown a lot of maturity this season. I wonder if it is the way that MC deals with the WBs Capt that is the difference between the two hookers? MC is an explosive and surly individual, I think this is clearly rubbing off on Moore.

Wallabies need an 80-minute captain

Agreed. All of the home nations play A teams and it can only develop players for the senior teams.

Cheika: It was my fault we lost

Agreed. Don’t know why some people bother watching the games if they are going to behave like spoiled children when things don’t go their way. Great game, WBs simply outplayed tonight, there really is no need to behave like the world has ended!

Wallabies vs England highlights: England stun the Wallabies to claim the series

Many of the mistakes made by the WBs were from Eng pressure; a lot of tries come from the other team’s mistakes, that’s a daft thing to say. You must be one of the few on here who doesn’t acknowledge that Eng played much better than the WBs.

Crikey, if my missus spoke to me like that I’d get very hot under the collar!?

The June Internationals talking points: Everyone gets a bench spot

That’s the key; real supporters should applaud a good performance, no matter the team. WBs vs Eng will always bring out the passion, I just wish supporters from both sides could be less myopic when it comes to their support and show some sportsmanship.

The June Internationals talking points: Everyone gets a bench spot

Also think the English looked fitter in the closing stages of the match. Once the English forwards exerted some control, their ferocity and fitness at the breakdown couldn’t be matched.

England niggle and win, but Australia are not done

No, he was not within his rights. He cynically hampered Brown’s catch in the full knowledge that the English could not then take the quick throw. Gray could see Brown going for the catch and deliberately impeded him. In the box or not, Brown had the right to go for the catch, Gray did not. Brown should not have expected to have to compete to catch a ball for a quick throw with a bloody opposition coach. Gray knew exactly what he was doing, he cheated. If it had been the English you’d be screaming blue murder.

Stephen Moore can take a leaf out of Steve Smith's captaincy book
