Sometimes podcasts rise to the wrong occasion.

GG keeps making the same mistakes for Edinburgh and Scotland (at least one daft line pen a game).

Thing is he offers next to nothing in attack. So, what exactly is all the fuss about?

Henderson always mouthy.

Ringrose cost his team a try.

Gary overrated Ringrose flying out of the line gifting ABs space for try.

To an extent, however, ABs were consistently messy throughout RC. Think we're seeing some of that carry over.

YC only for me. Didn't have any time to adjust. BB was on him before he could get lower.

ABs without Barrett in line out...absolute mess.

The rugby in the "big games" today has been awful.

ABs doing their best Aussies in earlier game impression.

USA going with the Sam Prendergap defensive system is a brave move.

Opposed is doing a ton of work there.

01.11.2025 19:28 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Huge caveats.

Strong rumors US team was in a coma.

As much as I want to praise some of the Scottish players.

This was a bit of a farce.

Not taking anything from this.

Kick chase would've worked wonders.

01.11.2025 18:48 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

That isn't remotely true.

Every year is England's year is far closer to standard.

Ha.

01.11.2025 18:24 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Little more than a training run. Chance for DG and Duhan to get cobwebs out.

Nothing really to take from this.

No flow to it whatsoever.

Aussies have been putrid. Backline usually so smooth has been as sharp as sausage.

Gifted England field position like a Mafia Don handing out Turkeys to the masses at Thanksgiving.

If they play the way they did today against a team that doesn't have the need to constantly implode? They will be in trouble.

01.11.2025 16:57 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

All 4 of England's tries are from kick chase & Aussies mistakes.

The media will run away with "dominant England", but the reality is Aussies were awful & England benefitted from it.

Not one try came from actual creativity via backline. All kick it up and chase. Wait for Aussies to implode.

Harry Potter showed up, the rest of the team is still on the Bus.

Aussies have been horrific. As bad a performance from them as I can remember. Even when Pumas beat them in Rugby Championship they weren't this bad.

01.11.2025 16:49 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Aussies mindless offload iteration infinity.

If they'd kept the ball in hand more? England would be in trouble.

01.11.2025 16:42 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

England have had virtually no attack other than kick chase.

He is a terrible Ref.

That said Harry Wilson is doing everything in his power to aid England. That offload off the deck was madness. On front foot, 7 meters from line tosses offload to no one.

01.11.2025 16:29 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

They've been ok. Nothing special. Yet to see anything from the much-hyped Pepper. Freeman at center...not convinced.

01.11.2025 16:01 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

That was almost suicidal. Again, Aussies making basic errors.

Harry Wilson had a nightmare of a half. Dropped ball multiple times.

They miss O'Connor and Wright.

01.11.2025 15:59 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Aussies handed England guilt edged chances.

Have to tighten up.
