Today's Rugby

[GB72]

After a good showing last weekend in the Southern Hemisphere, can the Northern Hemisphere sides follow it up this week.

Good start from Wales but can they hold on for the full 80.

Think the England match had the potential to be a cracker. Australia are going to be hurting and cone out all guns blazing.

Expect Ireland to win again in South Africa though will be close.

Interesting to see how Scotland do against Japan after their world cup heroics.

Been a long time since all 3 sides have performed so well down South. A top day of sport

AB's pulling away now, although should be have been yellow for Nandola

 

[Norrin Radd]

must say its an entertaining game ,plenty of open play and both sides looking to run the ball.

 

[Norrin Radd]

what a great defensive display by England .
2-0 up now and wouldnt it be great to make it 3-0 next weekend .

Stunning, simply, stunning defensive. Australia tried to go wide like last week, then through the middle. Fabulous tackling caused lots of Australian knocks-on. :clap:

Happy, happy days :thup:...

Fantastic performance and brilliant result

 

[GB72]

Stunning defensive display. Same players but amazing what a decent coach can do. Think going forward Saracens may rue losing Gustard

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I thought the ref was tremendous in the England game. Calm, authoritative and got the decisions right. I know the arguments against it but I would love football refs to be miked up so we could hear explanations as we do in rugby.

Is it too late to get Eddie Jones a Knighthood in the Queens birthday honours list?

 

[Val]

Scotland poor defensively I thought but good win none the less

 

[HomerJSimpson]

What a brilliant performance by England and well refereed. Jones came up with the perfect game plan again, carried out on the pitch with ferocious tenacity.

 

[Bigfoot]

England were superb defensively and it made for compulsive viewing.

Jones as coach for the Lions tour?

Jones as coach for the Lions tour?

Gatland again surely? Last time, he toured with Wales before the Lions tour and this time he is in NZ...

 

[USER1999]

Ireland faded badly, as South Africa got stronger. A tough third match looming.

 

[SocketRocket]

I have been sceptical on whether you could blame the coach for the teams performance but I have to say that so far Jones is the Man.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Gatland has been the favourite but Wales seem to have stagnated recently. I accept New Zealand away is the toughest tour out there but has his method hit a wall? Have oppositions found them out? He doesn't seem keen to adapt his methods.
