Autumn Internationals

Great start

Why Owens didn't refer that I don't know - because he is poor as usual
 
Nigel Owens continues with his usual reffing standard
 
Officials are ruining the game - getting worse each time ( he has form )

England poor kicking from hand so far
 
Fair result again BUT Owens should have gone to the TMO for that first try

Same old story for us im afraid.

Much the better side but give points away with silly mistakes.

I don't agree with the much better side unless your talking about the first 20 minutes.
We had a bit more possession in the first half until Danny Care kept on kicking it straight into their
wingers hands.
Then once in the hand they were the much better team,if their kickers were on form the margin of victory
would have been higher.
When they went down to 14 it looked like we had lost a man.
In a years time who knows.

Think he's talking about the taffs. Didn't see the England game, but on the radio it sounded like we couldn't get out of our half in the second half. No possession and no territory, you're not gonna win games like that.:o
 
Scoland looking very good

Ireland having a great battle so far

Not sure whether strettle is still in the black books for his behaviour on the infamous tour to Australia (though Mike Brown was, by all accounts, the main issue and he has been forgiven)

On the subject of Brown, think he is a bit lucky and has been picked on last year's form. Foden has been better in what I have seen of him this year.

I guess Strettle had his chance and never performed.
brown took his and was player of the year
Same with Foden, never impressed with England. Can do what you want form wise in the national leagues, but playing at top international standard is a different game, and having delivered at that level gets you a long way.
 
Both Strettle and Foden have impressed for England - dropped away when they both suffered injuries

To say both never impressed for England is imo wrong

I'm a NZer and am a little concerned about Cruden's goalkicking. If the England match is close that could well be the deciding factor. The Walladuds are rubbish but Wales never seem to step up in that game, when in a lot of recent matches they have been the better side on paper. At this stage I'd say that England are my equal favourites with NZ for the RWC next year (with SA there or thereabouts as well).

My concerns around the AB's goalkicking were realised. Should have been a fairly comfortable win. England were probably slightly on top at halftime, mainly because NZ were ordinary in the first half. A wins a win, but I'm concerned that England will be a big threat come RWC time.
 
A shame that the Welsh failed to knock the Walladuds off yet again. Great result for the Irish. I didn't expect Scotland to beat the Argies either.
 
At least one Welshman had a win this weekend - Owens

After his summer performance I'm amazed he can ref again
 
Good win for the Scots but a very strange atmosphere at Murrayfield.

The forwards and referee totally ruined the second half, there must have been 15 minutes taken up re-setting scrums.

The Nations must must be aware that this action is turning spectators away from games, They don't pay £60 to watch rules adjudication and bickering.
