Meanwhile, elsewhere in the world a proper English team has demolished the antipodean old enemy. Just a shame it receives no coverage on mainstream TV unlike that other game.... :(

As a true Kiwi I support two teams: the All Blacks and anyone playing Australia ;)

It is a struggle when it's England but even better when they stuff the Wallabies ;)

My first visit to Melbourne watched a great defensive performance at the Aami Stadium. There was a lot of grumpy unsportsmanlike Aussies around us. Their main gripe seemed to be that the ref didn't give them penalties for losing possession or being tackled. There were also  the odd grumble when we cheered England  scoring, not encountered that in any other rugby ground.

In conciliatory mood today so I have my Trent Bridge 6/8/15 t-shirt on  😊

Cheers
Ian

Yes indeed FK. Clearly a very friendly bunch. Yet another place to cross off my may visit one day list.
