Right, can't wait for this one!

I'm hoping for a big win to Australia, with Uate getting five tries and man of the match.

Will definitely be getting up to watch ... anyone who doesn't join me should reassess their priorities in life.
 
I am hoping for a great match also. Hope uate gets a hat trick but Jack Reed gets four and England get a bit of revenge for Wembley....:dancing:
 
I just hope England step up to the plate & give Australia a massive challenge. It will be boring if Australia wins by heaps, but if it turns out like last time they met it will be a great match!
 
England vs Australia games in England always are worth it in my opinion. I'm definately watching this! If Australia have a big lead at halftime, i will go to bed, but if it is like last time, i will definately be watching. :D
 
Australian Kangaroos Side that will take on England: Darius Boyd, Akuila Uate, Greg Inglis, Chris Lawrence, Jharal Yow Yeh, Darren Lockyer (capt), Johnathan Thurston, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith, Paul Gallen, Sam Thaiday, Anthony Watmough, Luke Lewis. Interchange: Cooper Cronk, Keith Galloway, David Shillington, Tony Williams.
 
Going to be a cracking game tonight. I am realistic about how good Australia are, but England have been going well and getting better every game. They will be up for it big time in front of a partisan crowd, full house as well. Going to be mega tasty, and whatever way it goes will be a game that gives great credit to our sport!!!!
 
Love Eddie and Stevo's optimism! :lol:

Lazy inside defence from England ... That's a shocking start from them.

No way was anyone offside from Thurston's kick! :lol:
 
Uate almost in, but a foot in touch. :(

Whaaat were England doing, turning the ball over like that on their own line?!?!

Unbelievable no-try decision to Australia there!

A few tries haven't fallen Australia's way ... England really have to make them pay.

Dammit, knee injury to Uate, I think he'll come off.

Yep, penalty try was the correct decision ... But it was Lewis's thigh that made Hall drop the ball, not Thurston's high tackle. However I don't think Lewis would have got there in time if not for Thurston.

Uate had a bit of a defensive slip up there. :-/

6 all at halftime by the looks of it!

Spoke too soon, penalty to Aus and they lead 8-6 at halftime.

Australia have blown some chances this half, hope it doesn't come back to haunt them!
 
It's Australia spreading the ball on their own line and making an error now, hmm.

Cecchin had made some poor decisions I must say.

Two quick tries and Australia and they are home, 20-8. England haven't looked like scoring in the second half!

Just need an Uate try now. :P

Inglis over ... this could blow out in the final ten minutes.

I'd actually love to see Lockyer score!!!

26-8 with ten to go.

Woohoo, try to Lockyer! You could see him sniffing around in that final set to try and get there.

Oh no, he misses the goal from in front!!! :lol:

30-8 ... England have improved, they didn't have 40+ put on them like the other two finals they've made.

Disappointing match really, bit of a cakewalk. Well done to Australia though, way too good for any other side in this Four Nations!!!
 
It should've been about 36-0 lol but still a great effort from the Aussies to not let it phase them and work their dominance back into the match to take care of the poms and the four nations tournament, can't be happier right now and Lockyer's try was the icing on the cake. Go Australia!! :dancing:
 
I'm not that happy. :/ Would've loved to see England come close & would've loved to have seen Uate get one!!
 
Dammit fell asleep before Lockyers try haha, will have to watch it later. Overall I didn't think it was that great a game, commentators ruined some of it. Uate just didn't look comfortable on the left side. His runs out of our field didn't seem as strong as when he's in the blue and red. Overall I don't think he was that good, definitely got out-played by Yow Yeh.
