The ref in this Australia vs England game is making some interesting calls, letting Hooper , from inside the ruck, play the scrum half is particularly poor.

That said England haven't really go started until that break fro Freeman.

Don’t want to jinx it but Ireland are wiping the floor with All Blacks.

Fortunately you didn't. :)

Ireland become only the third team, and the first from the Northern Hemisphere, to win a 3 games series in NZ.

Excellent from Ireland, Brilliant from England.
Wales and Scotland to give the home nations a clean sweep over the Southern Hemisphere? 🏉

Wales is the big question mark for me.

On England Lawes was just brilliant today, best player in the world right now in my opinion.

Tremendous results from both Ireland and England. Winning series in the Southern Hemisphere is rare and should be appreciated.

I went to the winning series in Aus in 2018 and thought we were looking good for the World Cup. Not making that mistake again.

Why was Genge taken off on Saturday? He absolutely monstered Kerevi, properly sat him down after his pathetic attempt at a tackle on Genge. It was a thing of beauty.

Because he's a front row, they just don't play 80mins in the professional game.

Impressive win for Argentina. Hopefully they win the title.
