England v Australia

0:00:26 > 0:00:30It is a single name, a single place, a World In One world. Perhaps it is

0:00:30 > 0:00:35the passing of time, for the years since Australia last came here.

0:00:35 > 0:00:43Perhaps it is the haunting sound of rugby league at Wembley. Whatever

0:00:43 > 0:00:47it is, there is a little tenderness here, only a little, because down

0:00:47 > 0:00:57there in the pits of this soaring, revitalised theatre, is the stage

0:00:57 > 0:00:59

0:00:59 > 0:01:07of hard knocks. Ellery Hanley, Martin Offiah, they were in the

0:01:07 > 0:01:11cruel business -- business of winning. But as for her Shaun

0:01:11 > 0:01:15Edwards, not tender. At Wembley, there is a world with in the world.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20This will be the last time Darren Lockyer will grace the Wembley

0:01:20 > 0:01:26stage, and has one consummate performer prefers for life after

0:01:26 > 0:01:36rugby league, someone else fills the gap. Will Wembley the the stage

0:01:36 > 0:01:40

0:01:40 > 0:01:45for a tough -- for some Tomkins? -- Sam Tomkins? This place is haunted

0:01:45 > 0:01:48by the ghosts of greats gone by. Today it will come alive with the

0:01:48 > 0:01:54power and potential of stars of the future as international rugby

0:01:54 > 0:01:57league returns to Wembley for the first time in 14 years. For England,

0:01:57 > 0:02:03the challenge is immense because they take on Australia, the best

0:02:03 > 0:02:08side in the world, and that they beat them they will be able to say,

0:02:08 > 0:02:12remember, remember, 5th November. Sam Tomkins will relish the stage

0:02:12 > 0:02:16and the chance to add to his England tally. He's called four

0:02:16 > 0:02:22last week against Wales, and was man of the match. -- he's scored

0:02:22 > 0:02:27four. Winning fans round the international newcomers, the Exiles,

0:02:27 > 0:02:31if you like. England are unchanged for the top match in a row, and

0:02:31 > 0:02:37have bonding tighter with every game. For Australia, the old

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Wembley Stadium was a happy hunting ground. They won the World Cup here

0:02:41 > 0:02:45in 1992, at 1995. This is their first chance to make a mark on the

0:02:45 > 0:02:50new Wembley turf. For their captain Darren Lockyer, this is the

0:02:50 > 0:02:55farewell tour, and he will be looking to sign off in style. This

0:02:55 > 0:03:01will be his 50th international cap, in the side that was as good as

0:03:01 > 0:03:08ever last weekend, beating New Zealand 26-12, and looking as if

0:03:08 > 0:03:14there was more to come. The Australian players arrived at

0:03:14 > 0:03:18Wembley at about 1:30pm. They were led off by the number one, Billy

0:03:18 > 0:03:23Slater, officially the best way round the world. He was voted as

0:03:23 > 0:03:27such at a dinner this week. Johnathan Thurston, great player.

0:03:27 > 0:03:33Then came the England coach, captain once again by the go live

0:03:33 > 0:03:38with that is Jamie Peacock, and the other burgeoning talent of Sam

0:03:38 > 0:03:43Tomkins. And that is Jack Reed, he just one year ago, was still

0:03:43 > 0:03:48working as a bricklayer, and was taken out by Crispin. He's only 23,

0:03:48 > 0:03:58and made his first appearance here at Wembley in an England shirt. --

0:03:58 > 0:04:00

0:04:00 > 0:04:08by Kristine. -- Brisbane. I am joined pitch-side by the man who

0:04:08 > 0:04:13was the last architect of success over Australia, Brian Noble. Tell

0:04:13 > 0:04:19me, and sell everybody, the level of quality were going to see on

0:04:19 > 0:04:25this pitch. There is quality all across the pitch. With this

0:04:25 > 0:04:31Australian team, the spine of the team has the fullback, the stand

0:04:31 > 0:04:34off, the half back and the hooker postop in those four positions

0:04:34 > 0:04:38Australia the four best players in the world. Billy Slater is

0:04:38 > 0:04:44unbelievable. He is an excitement machine. Darren Lockyer provides

0:04:44 > 0:04:48experience. John McPherson is the half-back, his kicking game is

0:04:48 > 0:04:52unbelievable. The tricks that he can provide. And that hooker,

0:04:52 > 0:04:57Cameron Smith, his composure, the way that he makes the forwards won

0:04:57 > 0:05:02on the ball, these players are the best and police state of origin

0:05:02 > 0:05:08together in Australia and have won it six years in a row. Up and that

0:05:08 > 0:05:13is a big test for England today. is a daunting line-up. How do the

0:05:13 > 0:05:17England players match up? England are less impressive than the

0:05:17 > 0:05:23laurels that Ian has given to the Australian players but we have some

0:05:23 > 0:05:28world-class players as well, looking at James row the, he is

0:05:28 > 0:05:32absolutely an exciting player, he brings it too late. In Sam Tomkins

0:05:32 > 0:05:36and Tom Briscoe, two John players making their way in the Super

0:05:36 > 0:05:40League, no less a world-class threat. And when you have got

0:05:40 > 0:05:45people like Gareth Ellis, they will be considered. I am sure that

0:05:45 > 0:05:52Gareth Ellis would make this Australian team, probably the best

0:05:52 > 0:05:59compliment that I could pay to him. We have the ultimate stage, back at

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Wembley. We have players determined to put on a show, and they can.

0:06:02 > 0:06:08There will be Rugby fans around the world watching this to admire the

0:06:08 > 0:06:12skill, talent, dedication and fitness. Coming up like, England

0:06:12 > 0:06:19against Australia. We have already had a match this afternoon, and the

0:06:19 > 0:06:26crowd came early, to watch Wales against New Zealand. Wales made two

0:06:26 > 0:06:36changes with Lloyd White and Chris easily coming in. It is 78 years

0:06:36 > 0:06:37

0:06:37 > 0:06:46since Wales played here. Thomas Leuluai or Wigan coming in for New

0:06:46 > 0:06:53Zealand. Just checking on the Wales team. Stephen Kearney the New

0:06:53 > 0:07:03Zealand coach said, do not take anything for granted. Commentary on

0:07:03 > 0:07:13

0:07:13 > 0:07:22the highlights from brave French he gets in at the corner. Sue pair

0:07:22 > 0:07:29kick, a super try. First points to New Zealand from that man, Jason

0:07:29 > 0:07:39Nightingale. They are all worrying about the ball. It was a very deft

0:07:39 > 0:07:39

0:07:39 > 0:07:49kick. Nightingale scores. Great tackle. Sam Mackenzie will have

0:07:49 > 0:07:51

0:07:51 > 0:08:00felt that! It is a beautiful ball. He is going for the line, and that

0:08:00 > 0:08:09was absolute last! Perfect timing from the young fullback, Kevin luck.

0:08:09 > 0:08:19-- Locke. Chasing him out to the line, Gordon James cannot fill the

0:08:19 > 0:08:24

0:08:25 > 0:08:33gap. What an exciting prospect this kid is. The number 16, from the

0:08:33 > 0:08:40Parramatta Eels in Sydney. Good tackle and they have let him get

0:08:40 > 0:08:46away he has the measure Mark touches down. It seemed like a good

0:08:46 > 0:08:52tackle but it evaporated. Another try for the Kiwis. He does not run

0:08:52 > 0:08:59in front of anyone. That is a try. He runs at them with the ball going

0:08:59 > 0:09:08behind his back. But it is the defender that commits. He did not

0:09:08 > 0:09:14run in the way of anyone. Stephen Kearney played here at Wembley with

0:09:14 > 0:09:21the Kiwis, so he knows all about the wide open spaces that New

0:09:21 > 0:09:28Zealand are binding. That is a difficult kick. Right knocks on. If

0:09:28 > 0:09:36he kicks this ball he must score, and the scores. -- and he scores.

0:09:36 > 0:09:46The second of the game. He scored twice against Australia in their

0:09:46 > 0:09:59

0:09:59 > 0:10:04first game in the Four Nations. And try. Racing under the posts, and

0:10:04 > 0:10:12that is the try that Wales will not want to see, just before half-time.

0:10:12 > 0:10:17That is the difference. Making something out of nothing. Gerard

0:10:17 > 0:10:27Peel finishing that, something out of nothing on the last brake. --

0:10:27 > 0:10:42

0:10:42 > 0:10:52Beale. Tremendous applause for that. but in all the pressure back on

0:10:52 > 0:10:53

0:10:53 > 0:11:00Wales. -- putting. Is that a forward pass? Yes, it is. Wales,

0:11:00 > 0:11:09get away. Never, says Jason Nightingale. But it is. One man

0:11:09 > 0:11:19makes the call. Let us have a look. There was the hit. Look at that,

0:11:19 > 0:11:29bang! Going up a couple of years, New Zealand. They seem to have

0:11:29 > 0:11:38

0:11:38 > 0:11:480 lead. These two packs are enjoying running at each other. He

0:11:48 > 0:11:53is in and that is the second touchdown for Gerard Beale. The Cup

0:11:53 > 0:11:59out pass up, allowing the touchdown. There is the ball. Great crew pass

0:11:59 > 0:12:08again, numbers on the blind side. The quality of the pass, and the

0:12:08 > 0:12:18vision. The Welsh fans and the crowd, a role in their favour is on.

0:12:18 > 0:12:18

0:12:18 > 0:12:26Looking for a consolation try. -- roaring their favourites on. He

0:12:26 > 0:12:30couldn't resist it, could he? New Zealand looking very ordinary in

0:12:30 > 0:12:40that nailed. Having said that, every time I open my mouth, there

0:12:40 > 0:12:45

0:12:45 > 0:12:49is a try! -- ordinary in midfield. This is the difference once again.

0:12:49 > 0:12:56The little hat-trick. That was a missed tackle. Just fatigue. Good

0:12:56 > 0:13:00support play, he does not panic. Could finish. You have said all the

0:13:00 > 0:13:06way through that this is the building process. What do you take

0:13:06 > 0:13:11from that performance? I thought they were tough and strong and

0:13:11 > 0:13:15physically matched New Zealand. We probably lack some composure in the

0:13:15 > 0:13:19early stages of the second half which allowed New Zealand to give

0:13:20 > 0:13:24us constant pressure and took lots of the energy out of us. When you

0:13:24 > 0:13:29play at international level, it is the consistent intensity that these

0:13:29 > 0:13:34guys need to get used to. You cannot afford to clock off or make

0:13:35 > 0:13:39other mistake, because you will get found out. New Zealand were very

0:13:39 > 0:13:43clinical this afternoon. They threw a lot of things at us but I am very

0:13:43 > 0:13:48proud of the players. Defensively they were strong and the McGavin,

0:13:48 > 0:13:54even when physically tired. We lost two players in the first 20 minutes

0:13:54 > 0:13:57for the rest of the game. We had a strong rotation. For them to stand

0:13:57 > 0:14:05up like they did, I am very proud up like they did, I am very proud

0:14:05 > 0:14:11of them. How did you assess the Welsh performance? I feared the

0:14:11 > 0:14:16worst that have time, but the difference is the level that they

0:14:16 > 0:14:22play at week in, week out, they got tired and then lost focus and

0:14:22 > 0:14:26concentration. They did not look threatening at all, but we did not

0:14:26 > 0:14:32expect anything different, because we know how much better England,

0:14:32 > 0:14:37New Zealand and Australia are, than Wales. But it was a fantastic

0:14:37 > 0:14:43second half ever. How would you compare New Zealand against Wales

0:14:43 > 0:14:49to England against Wales last week? A I thought New Zealand were flat,

0:14:49 > 0:14:55looking to Benjamin Marshall to do everything for them. It is going to

0:14:55 > 0:14:59be a tough game next week. Let us see how England get on to the post.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03You name is in the programme today. There is a list of players, there

0:15:03 > 0:15:08is going to be a statue pick up, representing a great rugby league

0:15:08 > 0:15:14players, and you are one of the 10 suggested games along with Ellery

0:15:14 > 0:15:19Hanley, Martin Offiah, and others. There are great players there and I

0:15:19 > 0:15:29am privileged to be on that list. I scored a try against Australia, and

0:15:29 > 0:15:30

0:15:31 > 0:15:34I hope that a few of these English Yes. A statue is most definitely

0:15:34 > 0:15:39been built in honour of Diana Lockyer, the extraordinary

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Australian captain. 34 years old now, he has played in 57

0:15:43 > 0:15:52internationals. That statue has or is going up outside the Brisbane

0:15:52 > 0:15:56ground. It will go alongside the statue of Wally Lewis and this guy

0:15:56 > 0:16:02is just extraordinary. Lock and load, our tribute to one of the

0:16:02 > 0:16:08greatest players the world has ever seen. I just think he is the best

0:16:08 > 0:16:18player in the world, the most talented player in the world.

0:16:18 > 0:16:19

0:16:19 > 0:16:25of a sudden, he says he you go. is an absolute legend of the game.

0:16:25 > 0:16:35Inspirational leader. Beautiful by Nokia. And that is the captain's

0:16:35 > 0:16:40

0:16:40 > 0:16:50Brisbane Broncos, 2006 Premiership champions! This will be an enormous

0:16:50 > 0:16:51

0:16:51 > 0:16:58reception for Darren Lockyer. Six series in a row. On the inside, a

0:16:58 > 0:17:08passes -- the passes perfect. Superb play. Darren Lockyer, the

0:17:08 > 0:17:16

0:17:16 > 0:17:25master tactician. Will he get to He has got luckier with him. Cannot

0:17:25 > 0:17:35you do it? He has done it. He scores. -- can he do it. The try

0:17:35 > 0:17:38

0:17:38 > 0:17:48And that is why Darren Lockyer is the champion. The word champion

0:17:48 > 0:17:55

0:17:55 > 0:17:59says it all. What an inspiration to A great player and character and

0:17:59 > 0:18:03has huge respect from his the international captain. The New

0:18:03 > 0:18:07Zealand captain with us now. What is it like to play against him?

0:18:07 > 0:18:15is a tribute to the game, a realm role model and a professional in

0:18:15 > 0:18:17model. He is the greatest player of all time. I wanted to be like him

0:18:17 > 0:18:20growing up and to get the opportunity to play with him and

0:18:20 > 0:18:25against him is an honour for me. I will remember that for the rest of

0:18:25 > 0:18:31my career. Now your assessment of the New Zealand performance. 36-0

0:18:31 > 0:18:35against Wales. There was something missing although the first half was

0:18:35 > 0:18:43solid because the second half we'll let our -- we let ourselves down.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48There are good signed the next week. We used it here and watch England

0:18:48 > 0:18:55closely and assess them before the match next week? We have got a bit

0:18:55 > 0:19:00of a bumper and brews in our side. The coach will have a lot of the

0:19:00 > 0:19:04idea for us all week. The atmosphere here is electric and it

0:19:04 > 0:19:09will be a dream come true to play here. Thank you for coming to talk

0:19:09 > 0:19:14to us. Interestingly, the Australian players are still out on

0:19:14 > 0:19:17the pitch. They were here 10 minutes before England and they are

0:19:17 > 0:19:23out for a good five minutes afterwards. They are making sure

0:19:23 > 0:19:28they are familiar with their surroundings. Their coach is Tim

0:19:28 > 0:19:33Sheens, 61 years old now. He has been speaking to us. You haven't

0:19:33 > 0:19:41had too much of a reshuffle. How much of a boost have you had with

0:19:41 > 0:19:45players back? They are very important. But one guy, he hasn't

0:19:45 > 0:19:49played for a couple of months, so we are not expecting the world. We

0:19:49 > 0:19:54expect them to do their job. had a few gripes about the referee

0:19:54 > 0:19:58last week. Did you have some words with the powers-that-be? That has

0:19:58 > 0:20:03been pushed at me a little bit. I had something to say, nothing that

0:20:03 > 0:20:13nobody else didn't say. It would appear that looking at the game

0:20:13 > 0:20:18already today and the game after we played last week, the game has got

0:20:18 > 0:20:22little quicker. There were less illegal tactics. Everybody would

0:20:22 > 0:20:25appreciate that. You have done a huge amount in your career and seen

0:20:25 > 0:20:31and done a lot, but what is it like to send Australia out here against

0:20:31 > 0:20:34England? A once-in-a-lifetime chance and for most of the players

0:20:34 > 0:20:40not just myself. We are looking forward -- are looking forward to

0:20:40 > 0:20:44it. Any complacency? No complacency. We have a lot of respect for this

0:20:44 > 0:20:49team. The history of England and Australian games hasn't been good

0:20:49 > 0:20:53for Australia, so we need to make sure we are on our game. Good luck.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56Tim Sheens, not giving away too much but he will make sure his

0:20:56 > 0:21:03players are thoroughly prepared for the challenge that lies ahead. The

0:21:03 > 0:21:08England players were out earlier on of the pitch. Robbie Hunter-Paul

0:21:08 > 0:21:11can take us through how old he sees them playing. I spend the best part

0:21:11 > 0:21:15of my career playing at half back and one thing I knew is that I

0:21:15 > 0:21:20couldn't do anything without my front row. England have three of

0:21:20 > 0:21:24the best of them in the business. The England captain, Jamie Peacock,

0:21:24 > 0:21:30he is the first. Inspirational player. He rolls his sleeves up, he

0:21:30 > 0:21:34gets deep. He will carry the ball where nobody wants to. Morley, he

0:21:34 > 0:21:39has had a good career. There's nothing the Australians will throw

0:21:39 > 0:21:44at him if he cannot handle. And right down here, we have James

0:21:44 > 0:21:48Graham, stretching his lower back. Fantastic player. He will also

0:21:48 > 0:21:52rolled his sleeves up, it carries the ball back into the defensive

0:21:52 > 0:21:56players. He will get in behind the ruck, and he has got a great

0:21:56 > 0:22:00passing game. These things will keep a straight on the back foot.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03James Roby will have a running game as well. The more he runs, the

0:22:04 > 0:22:06better off he will be. Looking around the field, this is one of

0:22:06 > 0:22:13the biggest fields in the competition, in the world of rugby

0:22:13 > 0:22:18league. So for those guys to have that space, give the ball to Sam

0:22:18 > 0:22:22Tomkins, he could have a field day. Very exciting afternoon because a

0:22:22 > 0:22:26lot of people have the belief that England can will run Australia

0:22:26 > 0:22:31close and could just beat them. One of the men that has to have that

0:22:31 > 0:22:34belief was on the bench in 1997 for Great Britain against Australia and

0:22:34 > 0:22:40now he is the code of England, Steve McNamara.

0:22:40 > 0:22:45How is everybody? Relaxed. They are ready to play. We have had

0:22:46 > 0:22:52preparation. Everyone is ready to play. You start with the same 17.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56What is the thinking behind it? need consistency, continuity. The

0:22:56 > 0:22:59players are starting to gel and come together. We have got seven

0:22:59 > 0:23:05players ready to get the opportunity. How big is this match

0:23:05 > 0:23:10going to be? A big step. We understand what the Stradey are

0:23:10 > 0:23:13capable of doing but we like a challenge and we are pretty relaxed.

0:23:13 > 0:23:19-- what Australia are capable of doing for. Or doesn't like being at

0:23:20 > 0:23:25Wembley? Just seeing the Australians out there now, it is

0:23:25 > 0:23:29great. It is great to play at Wembley. A big crowd out there, a

0:23:29 > 0:23:33big television audience. How conference are you what that was

0:23:33 > 0:23:36Mac we just want to play well, and we understand all the

0:23:36 > 0:23:42responsibility of being a national team. At the end of the day, we

0:23:42 > 0:23:46want to perform well for ourselves. Good luck. Cheers.

0:23:46 > 0:23:51The crowd is building up out here. A very quiet in the English

0:23:55 > 0:23:59What would you be saying to them? few small reminders of what they

0:23:59 > 0:24:04have done through the week and a few individual tips against the

0:24:04 > 0:24:14people they are playing. It is going to be ferocious and intense,

0:24:14 > 0:24:16

0:24:16 > 0:24:20and reinforced how well they have to kick today. And it is also going

0:24:20 > 0:24:24to boil down to the brilliance of your stars and for England it is

0:24:24 > 0:24:28Sam Tomkins. He has an extraordinary records -- record of

0:24:28 > 0:24:3311 tries in 11 matches and he looks stronger and faster and better

0:24:33 > 0:24:38every time we see him. A lot of people say he's mimicking police

0:24:38 > 0:24:44later what is a massive complement. He has got great footwork. The

0:24:44 > 0:24:50other thing is, he has The X Factor. He has got a pass, a kick, he

0:24:50 > 0:24:56squares it up and brings it back on the inside shoulder. He is very

0:24:56 > 0:24:59important because they are strong in the forwards, but they need him.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04He is going to be under a lot of pressure from the kicking game

0:25:04 > 0:25:09because Australia has a great kicking game. The only thing,

0:25:09 > 0:25:13Jonathan, the only thing he is criticised for his arrogance.

0:25:13 > 0:25:19have to have a little bit of arrogance. It is not ignorance, it

0:25:19 > 0:25:23is arrogance. Belief in your own ability, and he has got that. Today

0:25:23 > 0:25:30he will be tested because of the aggressive restraining kicking game

0:25:30 > 0:25:36and he might have to do the hard yards. Test rugby is all about...

0:25:36 > 0:25:40It is like chess. You have got to your exit plan, get a kicking game,

0:25:40 > 0:25:50and there might be one opportunity to win this game and you're going

0:25:50 > 0:25:56to have to win it or weight. -- or weight. They need to hang in, do

0:25:56 > 0:26:00the basics, wait for their opportunity then take it.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05opposite number Sam Tomkins is Billy Slater who, out of interest,

0:26:05 > 0:26:10was a word jockey for gay what a house, very famous racehorse

0:26:10 > 0:26:16trainer in Sydney. He is quite a small guy. Hasn't he converted well

0:26:16 > 0:26:22from racing to rugby league? He has got everything, balance, speed. He

0:26:22 > 0:26:26is a freak at times. He is very, very strong. A developed version of

0:26:26 > 0:26:31Sam Tomkins, if I could be so complementary to him. He is there

0:26:31 > 0:26:36all the time. He knows what is going on. He is an extra half back

0:26:36 > 0:26:44and a fabulous player. He has been voted the best player on the planet.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49He backs up so well. He is maybe the greatest player of all time,

0:26:49 > 0:26:55Lockyer, and then Darren Harper with the kicking game, and then

0:26:55 > 0:27:01this guide ships in. He is an amazing player. -- this guy chips

0:27:01 > 0:27:06in. How can you kick this ball? It is very interesting. We will do an

0:27:06 > 0:27:11item on this one day. So, your predictions. It depends on the

0:27:11 > 0:27:14start. If they stay close, England might get over the line. If their

0:27:14 > 0:27:20kicking game is good, they have got a great chance. Let's not forget

0:27:21 > 0:27:25how good the line speed of a string it is. Defensively, they get so

0:27:25 > 0:27:35quickly into the tackle. That is what England have to over come.

0:27:35 > 0:27:35

0:27:35 > 0:27:43Land of Hope and Glory ringing out all over this stadium. Can you see

0:27:43 > 0:27:47anything other than an Australian victory? They need to be composed.

0:27:47 > 0:27:54The position for Australia is vital. Australia can hold their nerve,

0:27:54 > 0:27:57stay with them, and they can get away in the last quarter. I think

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Sinfield and Rangi Chase have got to bring their club form to the

0:28:01 > 0:28:05international stage. If they do that, England have got a chance,

0:28:05 > 0:28:12but Australia are the clear favourites. I just had a shiver

0:28:12 > 0:28:17down my back and I don't think because of the temperature. We will

0:28:17 > 0:28:22now hand you to our commentary team. Him did against Australia at

0:28:23 > 0:28:28Wembley Stadium. Delicious. -- England against Australia. 14 years

0:28:28 > 0:28:33since we have had the setting for this occasion and it is an

0:28:33 > 0:28:39afternoon that is rich with potential. If you are here, good

0:28:39 > 0:28:44luck. If you are watching at home, settle back. Could be a cracker.

0:28:44 > 0:28:54Two National anthems to hit, played by the Friary Guildford band, sung

0:31:19 > 0:31:25into the centre for Australia after a ten-week absence. Willie Tonga

0:31:29 > 0:31:35international player of the Year awards in their position this week.

0:31:35 > 0:31:45On the bench, England again unchanged. Cooper Cronk and David

0:31:45 > 0:31:51

0:31:51 > 0:32:01Shillington bought survive injury scares for Australia. The referee

0:32:01 > 0:32:05

0:32:06 > 0:32:14is Henry Perenara from New Zealand. He's an ex-NRL player, So he knows

0:32:14 > 0:32:21what goes on. Is this going to be one of those days? England start

0:32:21 > 0:32:30with possession. The second hour for up by Ellis who command out of

0:32:30 > 0:32:34the 20 metre line. Two teams with great expectations, England against

0:32:34 > 0:32:40Australia at Wembley. We have perfect playing conditions out

0:32:40 > 0:32:49there. It might seem like there is a bit of mist hanging around, but I

0:32:49 > 0:32:58think it is small, fireworks. Wembley's red carpet has been ruled

0:32:58 > 0:33:03out for rugby league royalty, in the shape of Darren Lockyer. Billy

0:33:03 > 0:33:13Slater, almost finding a way through, but Westwood, making the

0:33:13 > 0:33:15

0:33:15 > 0:33:19tackle. Slater takes to tackle one, on the 40 metre line. The coach,

0:33:19 > 0:33:24Tim Sheens, if they are up to that interference in the build up. And

0:33:24 > 0:33:28there is the first penalty to Australia. It has been a major

0:33:28 > 0:33:32difference from what Australia experienced last week and what

0:33:32 > 0:33:38England experienced in terms of refereeing. They are going to have

0:33:39 > 0:33:45to be a lot sharper. The explanation from the referee, that

0:33:45 > 0:33:55there was a flop down. Australia being made to wait for the ball.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58

0:33:58 > 0:34:05England prepare for their first real test in defence. Here is

0:34:05 > 0:34:13Cameron Smith. Looking down at blind-side. Dealt with by three

0:34:14 > 0:34:20England defenders. He and it was held. But what has happened? Taken

0:34:20 > 0:34:28a way, by Greg Inglis. The referee decided the ball had already gone

0:34:28 > 0:34:37matter player. And it is England's head and feed at the scrum. Good

0:34:37 > 0:34:41defensive work from England. Reed, Sam Tomkins, Westwood, all with

0:34:41 > 0:34:51numbers and the tackle, taking Australia over the sideline and

0:34:51 > 0:35:02

0:35:02 > 0:35:12for his family moved out to Australia. -- before his family

0:35:12 > 0:35:14

0:35:14 > 0:35:18moved down to Australia. A star for Brisbane now. The Australian

0:35:18 > 0:35:28defenders are up there in numbers. England found themselves 10 metres

0:35:28 > 0:35:31

0:35:31 > 0:35:41short of the halfway line. He he read that very well. But it comes

0:35:41 > 0:35:43

0:35:43 > 0:35:52again. Bustling effort, by Westwood. Here comes the kick. It is an

0:35:52 > 0:35:57awkward one, for Billy Slater. It is a good chase, by England.

0:35:57 > 0:36:02England's line is absolutely perfect. Good play, using Tomkins

0:36:02 > 0:36:12as the option. And that was a very good kick indeed. England need to

0:36:12 > 0:36:33

0:36:33 > 0:36:41do that consistently throw it the off load. -- on that goes to

0:36:41 > 0:36:50Matthew Scott. Darren Lockyer will be looking to find the kicking

0:36:50 > 0:36:55position, which they have found. It is not the best of kicks. That was

0:36:55 > 0:36:59a very good defensive sect from the England. Restricting the yardage

0:36:59 > 0:37:09for Australia and putting pressure on the Australian kickers. That was

0:37:09 > 0:37:13

0:37:13 > 0:37:23the reason why they got the ball in midfield. Cagey opening, five

0:37:23 > 0:37:33

0:37:33 > 0:37:40Peacock, who only knows one way, and that is forward, with endeavour.

0:37:40 > 0:37:45It is well read by Darius Boyd, who is back there to defend it. We keep

0:37:45 > 0:37:50speaking about the kicking game and I'm sure that Steve McNamara will

0:37:50 > 0:37:56be disappointed with the end of that set. England are working very

0:37:56 > 0:38:06hard indeed in this opening. And it really isn't it and tuck in this

0:38:06 > 0:38:16

0:38:16 > 0:38:26first by minutes. -- is nip and there. Australia found themselves

0:38:26 > 0:38:27

0:38:27 > 0:38:34again having to kick, just inside England's territory. And there is a

0:38:34 > 0:38:40mixed up, and England come away with possession. Rangi Chase Hall

0:38:40 > 0:38:49down by Greg Inglis. Good scrambled defence by England, and it had to

0:38:49 > 0:38:59be. The chance has for England, turning them from defence into

0:38:59 > 0:39:17

0:39:17 > 0:39:23attack, it has been very, very penalty. Penalty for England up.

0:39:23 > 0:39:33Typical of Sam Tomkins. He is a competitor in every situation. He

0:39:33 > 0:39:34

0:39:34 > 0:39:40attempts to regain his feet and play the ball. Here is the chance,

0:39:40 > 0:39:45Uate almost opening the England defence up. Wembley finds its role.

0:39:45 > 0:39:55England lost their first real attack in a good position. --

0:39:55 > 0:40:20

0:40:20 > 0:40:30green and gold. Still an under pressure. Sinfield, great

0:40:30 > 0:40:34ball. Just short. Great defending by Billy Slater. That is world

0:40:34 > 0:40:40class. We talk about how exciting he is with the ball in hand, but

0:40:40 > 0:40:44that tackle was sensational, one on one. And the fullback becomes a way

0:40:44 > 0:40:50with the ball. Absolutely sensational defence from Billy

0:40:50 > 0:41:00Slater. England where all but over the line. But Australia and Slater

0:41:00 > 0:41:09

0:41:09 > 0:41:19it the first time. But, look how it beat Australia have you, on this

0:41:19 > 0:41:27

0:41:27 > 0:41:32themselves involved. England are just edging this, if it is an arm

0:41:32 > 0:41:40wrestling match at the moment. They at that in the Aussies on the side.

0:41:40 > 0:41:47That was terrific from James Roby. Good food work. Peacock, down, and

0:41:47 > 0:41:55back it comes. Look at the gap, Rangi Chase looking to exploit it.

0:41:55 > 0:42:01Australia hanging on at the moment. It is back to Sinfield. And just a

0:42:01 > 0:42:05handful Greg Inglis, otherwise, Sam Tomkins had glory. You see why

0:42:05 > 0:42:15Australia are such a great team because they have defensive

0:42:15 > 0:42:16

0:42:16 > 0:42:20commitment is first class. That is a try saving hand. Sam Tomkins

0:42:20 > 0:42:27always gets to the ball but Greg Inglis gets to the ball first. He

0:42:27 > 0:42:31parried the ball over the dead ball line which will mean a restart.

0:42:31 > 0:42:36Greg Inglis has not played for 10 weeks. He has been out injured.

0:42:36 > 0:42:42There has got to be some doubt about his match fitness. Yes, but

0:42:42 > 0:42:52if he is fit, he is on the field, I'll tell you. Any coach in the

0:42:52 > 0:42:54

0:42:54 > 0:43:04world would tell you that. This is James Roby, now, from dummy half.

0:43:04 > 0:43:05

0:43:05 > 0:43:15It is a very good start by the side and white. -- in white. Good

0:43:15 > 0:43:20

0:43:20 > 0:43:27possession former England. He and it has gone over as the mission

0:43:27 > 0:43:32marked Ryan Hall is convinced. there was a flat. The corner flag

0:43:32 > 0:43:37comes into play. Great commitment. Has that Camilla -- has that

0:43:37 > 0:43:43collision forced Ryan Hall out of the field of play? That is an

0:43:43 > 0:43:51impossible try! That is an impossible try as the nation Mark

0:43:51 > 0:43:58my word! Outstanding spatial awareness from Ryan Hall! He is

0:43:58 > 0:44:06heading towards the corner flag. And for me, he grounds that

0:44:06 > 0:44:12legitimately, and that should be four poised. -- 4 points. The

0:44:12 > 0:44:22referee has had a look at that, unbelievable as the nation Mark

0:44:22 > 0:44:28

0:44:28 > 0:44:36get that down and England's good start has been turned into a very

0:44:36 > 0:44:40good start. Absolutely outstanding start. They built pressure, and the

0:44:40 > 0:44:47result of that pressure has been four points. Billy Slater is

0:44:47 > 0:44:52leaving the field with a shoulder injury. The result of that

0:44:52 > 0:45:01collision. Ryan Hall finished absolutely superbly. What a

0:45:01 > 0:45:07magnificent try Bob this is -- try This is. Great commitment from

0:45:07 > 0:45:13Slater, no doubt about that. Watch this long pass. The collision is

0:45:13 > 0:45:19there, but his skill level to ground the ball back, first class.

0:45:19 > 0:45:29International-class. Kevin Sinfield with a conversion attempt. It just

0:45:29 > 0:45:32

0:45:32 > 0:45:37slides wide. But it is 4-0. Ryan Hall, an absolute hero. Lovely ball

0:45:37 > 0:45:42movement. Left to right, Chase to Sinfield. That is a master pass

0:45:42 > 0:45:49selection. But what a finish! That is all about the finish from Ryan

0:45:49 > 0:45:54Hall. And the resulted injury to Billy Slater. Slater will be going.

0:45:54 > 0:45:58What news? I am surrounded by smiling faces. If you wanted to

0:45:58 > 0:46:02know how to play Australia, that is how you play against Australia.

0:46:02 > 0:46:08Five minutes ago, England had an opportunity to kick a goal. They

0:46:08 > 0:46:14didn't. They wanted to leave that - - to leave Australia on the back

0:46:14 > 0:46:24foot. And they did. A great start but there are still 67.5 minutes to

0:46:24 > 0:46:31

0:46:31 > 0:46:41play. Nobody is getting carried dislocated his shoulder. -- the

0:46:41 > 0:47:43Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

0:47:43 > 0:47:53reshuffle. Darius Boyd will Jack Reed. Billy Slater is back

0:47:53 > 0:48:10

0:48:10 > 0:48:20Interesting kicking strategy from field possession because it has

0:48:20 > 0:48:30

0:48:30 > 0:48:40been positioned England so far. England's defence has to organise

0:48:40 > 0:48:46itself. Darius Boyd is world class. Slater is the international Player

0:48:46 > 0:48:52of the Year, but Darius Boyd is a very good rugby league player.

0:48:52 > 0:49:02years and one day since Great Britain last beat Australia. That

0:49:02 > 0:49:18

0:49:18 > 0:49:28spill -- spun it away. Luckier drops on it. Australia keep it,

0:49:28 > 0:49:45

0:49:45 > 0:49:49for Australia. The first bit of pressure from Australia. Rangi

0:49:50 > 0:49:56Chase, great scramble but that was a tough drop the ball that put it

0:49:56 > 0:50:03back to one. And they have conceded this penalty. A good chance for the

0:50:03 > 0:50:13green and gold. A good drive by Watmough. They are getting closer.

0:50:13 > 0:50:21

0:50:21 > 0:50:27They have five tackles to Hama the careful. England's defenders are

0:50:27 > 0:50:31over but I don't think they have stopped them from getting the ball

0:50:31 > 0:50:35down. The referee is absolutely certain. It is all-square again.

0:50:35 > 0:50:42That was the first bit of pressure the Australians had. My word, they

0:50:42 > 0:50:47have taken full advantage. Luke Lewis has had to come to left-wing.

0:50:47 > 0:50:51They held the shape very well and finished a very competently indeed.

0:50:51 > 0:50:56It was the ball movement that was very clinical from the Australian

0:50:56 > 0:51:00side. This is the Moray Bar from Darius Boyd. He was rushed by Jack

0:51:00 > 0:51:05Reed, put him under pressure, got the ball away and that is a very,

0:51:06 > 0:51:15very good finish indeed. Watch the ball from Bory to. There is the

0:51:16 > 0:51:23

0:51:23 > 0:51:26pressure from Reed. Excellent pass. posts. He is the man that went

0:51:26 > 0:51:36right at the two to give Australia the lead. It is not a bad record,

0:51:36 > 0:51:52

0:51:52 > 0:52:01swings it in. That is magnificent from Johnathan Thurston and

0:52:01 > 0:52:08Australia have the lead, 6-4. Marvellous work, this, wasn't it?

0:52:08 > 0:52:13Look at that pass. It had no time. His skill was put under pressure.

0:52:13 > 0:52:17But he answered the question with that lovely pass to Luke Lewis. He

0:52:17 > 0:52:22finished really well. Tanya, what news?

0:52:22 > 0:52:28Garreth Carvell, what do you make of it? Pretty good start. It is

0:52:28 > 0:52:32disappointing to concede the try, but so far so good. They are going

0:52:32 > 0:52:38out really fast. And we have answered. There are no nerves from

0:52:38 > 0:52:43England. We are quite confident, to be honest. The squad, they

0:52:43 > 0:52:51complement each other with the players in there, so there is no

0:52:51 > 0:53:01real nerves of, sort of... So far, anyway. Just you lot watching?

0:53:01 > 0:53:25

0:53:25 > 0:53:28Wonderful break from Sam Tomkins. That is what he is all about.

0:53:28 > 0:53:35is absolutely world-class fullback play from Sam Tomkins. It was a

0:53:35 > 0:53:45good chase, but it was his evasive skills and footwork that put

0:53:45 > 0:54:47Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

0:54:47 > 0:54:54wrong come as. He should have kept seen a few of those today. And we

0:54:54 > 0:54:59saw in the other game, Australia verses Wales. That was a borderline

0:54:59 > 0:55:06call, but a correct call. England with a chance to capitalise upon

0:55:06 > 0:55:16that error. They are starting this just inside the Australian half, a

0:55:16 > 0:55:43

0:56:01 > 0:56:07That is against Australia. It looked like an English hand that

0:57:33 > 0:57:37was one. But they are working hard on both edges to put people under

0:57:37 > 0:57:47pressure. That was Sam Tomkins. That was a little high, you could

0:58:13 > 0:58:17very composed. His decision-making has been excellent up until now.

0:59:31 > 0:59:35almost as he is receiving the ball, he is receiving the descent -- the

1:02:05 > 1:02:14but this is where the game is won or lost. This one period, in the

1:03:12 > 1:03:22towards that the-turkey, the possession, but England have

1:03:45 > 1:03:54dominated the territory ---what's Darren Yorke there will be happy

1:03:54 > 1:04:04with that because it takes Sam Tomkins out of the occasion. --

1:04:06 > 1:04:12equation. That was a high risk play, and it was not executed that well,

1:04:13 > 1:04:18and it has given Australia good field position. It was not a kick

1:04:18 > 1:04:24to be chased. It never looked as if it was going to find touch. And it

1:04:24 > 1:04:34could cost England. It than this his game, Rangi Chase, he does take

1:04:54 > 1:04:58-- T-Rex. Rangi Chase was trying to play it very clever. To get some

1:04:58 > 1:05:06cheap build position, but it is a high-risk play, and it has not

1:05:06 > 1:05:14worked out. And that man, he is a big Atwick. He has gone over with a

1:05:14 > 1:05:23crucial try. -- a big athlete. England went for that way, it did

1:05:23 > 1:05:26not work. After initially stopping the momentum, there was an offload

1:05:26 > 1:05:36and a lovely inside pass and it is Chris Heighington there was pushed

1:05:36 > 1:05:39

1:05:39 > 1:05:48off. By the big T-Rex, Tony Williams. And it is see you later

1:07:05 > 1:07:09drives forward by Australia have resulted in scores. They are

1:07:09 > 1:07:13absolutely with was. But they get an opportunity anywhere within the

1:07:13 > 1:07:2320 metres on, they take those opportunities. And that is the

1:07:23 > 1:07:28difference between the teams. Terrific ball. That is a terrific

1:07:28 > 1:07:36ball. You have got to stand back and admire that. It has given a

1:07:36 > 1:07:40Australia another good positioned. That was forward, surely. It is

1:07:40 > 1:07:47worth the admission fee. Look at that sleight-of-hand. And this is a

1:07:47 > 1:07:56pretty good pass, as well. Lovely skill, and great weight of the pass,

1:07:56 > 1:08:04and almost a good pass from Burston creating an opportunity. All that

1:08:04 > 1:08:09in an intense pressure situation. Tom Robbie has had a terrific game

1:08:09 > 1:08:19so far. Not many of their -- quite a few of the England players have.

1:08:19 > 1:08:40

1:08:40 > 1:08:48It has been quite an even contest, remaining, England would like to

1:08:48 > 1:08:52get some scores on the board before the hooter sounds. That was a

1:08:52 > 1:08:59rocket. You have to make it a contested kick from midfield or

1:08:59 > 1:09:09just build possession and that was neither here nor there from Jon

1:09:09 > 1:09:30

1:09:30 > 1:09:38prop of the year. It is interesting that Kevin Sinfield has gone to

1:09:38 > 1:09:48hooker and Paul Widdop is at stand- off. That is a good kick by

1:09:48 > 1:09:52

1:09:52 > 1:09:57Prescott. But it clear England. -- a good, clearing run. That will be

1:09:57 > 1:10:04a great moment for Tom Briscoe. He'll remember that game at the JJB

1:10:04 > 1:10:10Stadium, where he got rather isolated. He is a to season but a

1:10:10 > 1:10:20player, because he has got that experience. He is emerging into a

1:10:20 > 1:10:40

1:10:40 > 1:10:47he loves to run. He was not ready for that. Sinfield, applying the

1:10:47 > 1:10:57middle channel. Was not expecting the offload. He is not looking at

1:10:57 > 1:10:58

1:10:58 > 1:11:08the Plough. -- play. Rangi Chase is a risk-taker. We have come to

1:11:08 > 1:11:30

1:11:30 > 1:11:35expect that will stock -- expect Interesting that him, Paterson and

1:11:35 > 1:11:45Smith are on the field at the moment. There is so much creativity

1:11:45 > 1:11:46

1:11:46 > 1:11:56from this position. Good defence once again by England. It thus then,

1:11:56 > 1:11:57

1:11:57 > 1:12:05lost a little bit of balance, but he is still going. -- Thurston.

1:12:05 > 1:12:15England have got will be, Sinfield, Widdop and chase out there, so it

1:12:15 > 1:12:20

1:12:20 > 1:12:30is like for like. Roby, and Chase. They just did not quite get the

1:12:30 > 1:12:39timing right. Good work from Kirk Yeaman, taking the space from

1:12:39 > 1:12:49Williams, forcing the hour, and putting him under pressure. --

1:12:49 > 1:12:49

1:12:49 > 1:12:58forcing the error. 12-4 Is not a great reflection of the way the

1:12:58 > 1:13:05game has gone. Unfortunately, at this level, it is about posting

1:13:05 > 1:13:12points on the board, and it is results that matter. England are

1:13:12 > 1:13:21looking to make up the yards. Jones-Buchanan will to kick in. Up

1:13:21 > 1:13:26lots of experience at this venue for England. Out of the 24, 19 of

1:13:26 > 1:13:36that squad have played at Wembley Stadium, so they know all about

1:13:36 > 1:13:39

1:13:39 > 1:13:49this setting. Tomkins with a fantastic ball. Outstanding finish

1:13:49 > 1:13:52

1:13:52 > 1:13:57at! From Ryan Hall it! He had every right to go there, and Ryan Hall

1:13:57 > 1:14:07insisted. We have gone to the video referee. That is magnificent work

1:14:07 > 1:14:08

1:14:08 > 1:14:17from Ryan Hall. That is a great try. What a finish. We speak about Greg

1:14:17 > 1:14:27Inglis and his athleticism, but that is one for the Brits. The try

1:14:27 > 1:14:32go then. No doubt at all about that. He has been absolutely world-class.

1:14:32 > 1:14:38He really has. Both tries he has scored was there and it has given

1:14:38 > 1:14:44Steve McNamara some real hope. We have Kevin Sinfield out there,

1:14:44 > 1:14:51playing Liz for what, and it was that about opened up the gap was

1:14:52 > 1:14:57Sam Tomkins. The little drop ball from Single. Lovely pass, and that

1:14:57 > 1:15:07created a bit of space. Good centre play, from Jack Reed. But this is a

1:15:07 > 1:15:07

1:15:07 > 1:15:14great finish. World-class! Sublime past, great centre play. And he

1:15:14 > 1:15:19straightened up, found some space for Ryan Hall. But, what a finish!

1:15:19 > 1:15:29Off you go, barriers boy, I control the ball and I am going to get that

1:15:29 > 1:15:36

1:15:36 > 1:15:46half for this conversion attempt. It has been a very good first half

1:15:46 > 1:15:50so far. It remains in the balance. It hits the post! It hits the post.

1:15:50 > 1:15:55So he hasn't landed either of his conversions, but England have

1:15:55 > 1:16:05landed a couple of real blows on the Australian Sheahan. Half-time,

1:16:05 > 1:16:11England aid, Australia 12. It is a contest that is rare much alive. --

1:16:11 > 1:16:17that is very much alive. With the last watching in a string vest or

1:16:17 > 1:16:22not, you have to admire England's start. They had chances early on,

1:16:22 > 1:16:26the grubber kick was nearly met, but when the try pain, wasn't it

1:16:26 > 1:16:31spectacular? Ryan Hall, they've never seen a better tries scored,

1:16:31 > 1:16:40some people are saying. Australia have come back strongly, Luke Lewis

1:16:40 > 1:16:48scoring. Then again diving over for Australia but then Ryan Hall

1:16:48 > 1:16:54touching down again on that corner. He loves that corner post. He has

1:16:54 > 1:17:02ensured that two tries for England, two for Australia, the difference

1:17:02 > 1:17:07being the conversions. Australia lead, 12-aid. -- 12 -8.

1:17:07 > 1:17:11He used said you jumped up and said, we have got a game!

1:17:11 > 1:17:14Definitely. England came out exactly how the crowd wanted them

1:17:14 > 1:17:18to play. They want to play aggressively and positively, and

1:17:18 > 1:17:22they have taken the game to Australia. Eight minutes into the

1:17:22 > 1:17:28game, England had a penalty and they elected to run the ball. That

1:17:28 > 1:17:32was positive. And on the front foot. It became a game of two halves

1:17:32 > 1:17:37because Australia what Oh What -- always gonna come back. Actually,

1:17:37 > 1:17:44Tony Williams has been a big handful for the England defence.

1:17:44 > 1:17:49Did England get carried away with themselves? I think by the looks of

1:17:49 > 1:17:54it, Steve McNamara has told them to be very positive about the game.

1:17:54 > 1:18:00They need to take the opportunity when they can. You don't get that

1:18:00 > 1:18:04many against Australia. I don't mind what they are doing. Maybe it

1:18:04 > 1:18:09is going too far, may be kicking the ball out, but, on the whole,

1:18:09 > 1:18:14very positive performance. They've got the players there, they've got

1:18:14 > 1:18:22the talent, they've got weapons all over the field. Sam Tomkins is the

1:18:23 > 1:18:30player to go to. Keep your eye on Sam. And absolutely cracking

1:18:30 > 1:18:34The other major headline from the first of his departure of Billy's

1:18:34 > 1:18:44later with what is likely to be a dislocated sold -- dislocated

1:18:44 > 1:18:46

1:18:46 > 1:18:52Errors made, lots from both sides. Australia making one more than

1:18:52 > 1:19:02England so far. Tackle completion rate is very high. Offload pear,

1:19:02 > 1:19:03

1:19:04 > 1:19:09Jonathan, that was frustrating in parts. The question is, why are

1:19:09 > 1:19:14they behind? They created opportunities, and what an

1:19:14 > 1:19:19absolutely nightmare mistake by a Chase. But the differences

1:19:19 > 1:19:25Australia have had two chances and scored tries. And England have had

1:19:25 > 1:19:30about five. It is a test -- it is a chess match. They don't have to

1:19:30 > 1:19:35score every time. It is about position, getting the tackles,

1:19:35 > 1:19:39completing sets, and then, slowly, taking chances. Whereas some silly

1:19:39 > 1:19:44mistakes were made and poor execution. They should be three

1:19:44 > 1:19:48tries in front. We will look at detail in a moment at this. But

1:19:48 > 1:19:55first, the standard of play. We will see a few mistakes first of

1:19:55 > 1:20:00all. That is one of the trances. You have got a fullback. He

1:20:00 > 1:20:08stumbles. It is the greatest deal. But the money is on Westfield

1:20:08 > 1:20:13scoring. First trams. That is the first opportunity. And then, there

1:20:13 > 1:20:18we go. Great play by Inglis. Another one off the bounce. It goes

1:20:18 > 1:20:22flatter. Two chances and unfortunately they don't come away

1:20:22 > 1:20:29with any thing. Ian, what do you make of it was like the completion

1:20:29 > 1:20:36rate from Australia his 63%, way off what they are normally. If you

1:20:36 > 1:20:42look at both teams, they are not working together as a unit,

1:20:42 > 1:20:46Australia. England, on the right side, they are playing well. Greg

1:20:46 > 1:20:52Inglis for the Australians is looking rusty. England for the

1:20:52 > 1:20:57majority of it had a better kicking game. They need to get their

1:20:58 > 1:21:07composure, Australia, when England have possession. And they will have

1:21:08 > 1:21:09

1:21:09 > 1:21:19to win this game. Key moments. The departure of Billy Slater.

1:21:19 > 1:21:22

1:21:22 > 1:21:28absolutely brilliant finish. The anybody's books, that is world

1:21:28 > 1:21:35class finish. Great vision from Sinfield. For all intents, he is

1:21:35 > 1:21:40out. I had a really good look at that. The guy is a big hunk of meat.

1:21:40 > 1:21:48Upper body strength. Look at those hips, and it is incredible, the

1:21:48 > 1:21:54skill to do this. If one goes in, you all go in. But the pass was

1:21:54 > 1:22:00fantastic with the vision and the finish. He is a real, real big man.

1:22:00 > 1:22:02From that distance, he is tough to stop. Billy Slater, a good defender,

1:22:02 > 1:22:07stop. Billy Slater, a good defender, but a good pick one will be to a

1:22:07 > 1:22:12small one. That is a skill that has come in through to the game. The

1:22:12 > 1:22:20acrobats. The way they can contortion their body, they are

1:22:20 > 1:22:25taking the game to another level. Lots of reaction to that on Twitter.

1:22:25 > 1:22:32Ryan Hall, take a bow. One of the best finishes you will ever see. We

1:22:32 > 1:22:39will go through those tweets later on. An awful lot of people saying

1:22:39 > 1:22:45that was the best try. And he did it again before half-time so Steve

1:22:45 > 1:22:54McNamara... James Gray he has had - - James Graham, he has problems

1:22:54 > 1:22:59with his back and again he looks flat. That is just composure.

1:22:59 > 1:23:04looks that but he is excited? Steve McNamara has to say is we are

1:23:04 > 1:23:08in this game. I don't know why in this game. I don't know why

1:23:08 > 1:23:18we're behind. Again, Tony Williams goes on a short run and Sinfield is

1:23:18 > 1:23:21

1:23:21 > 1:23:29dragged in. Once the pass has been pulled away, that is a fantastic

1:23:29 > 1:23:34finish. Tony Williams... If he goes in, he has got to be nailed. Once

1:23:34 > 1:23:44the ball goes out, the defence was good, but we have had exceptional

1:23:44 > 1:23:45

1:23:45 > 1:23:48We will talk about that try came back later on. England were showing

1:23:48 > 1:23:52patients but also the lack of execution in some key phases of not

1:23:52 > 1:23:58execution in some key phases of not getting things right. Look, they

1:23:58 > 1:24:04work the left-hand side, they have three on to. They have overrun that

1:24:04 > 1:24:09ball. If you hold and hold and hold... Again, why is road be

1:24:09 > 1:24:14kicking that? It goes dead, and pressure is off. -- James Roby

1:24:14 > 1:24:18kicking that? This is a moment of madness. He wants to kick it and

1:24:18 > 1:24:28get a tap further down the field but he doesn't get anywhere near

1:24:28 > 1:24:35the touch line. So if he does at, you have got to zip it. And that is

1:24:36 > 1:24:45T Rex, flattening Chris Hind in. He originally was going to play for

1:24:46 > 1:24:46

1:24:46 > 1:24:54New Zealand, you know. That play should have been taken in the

1:24:54 > 1:24:57Australian 20 metre area. At 18.5 stone, you can be called T Rex, or

1:24:57 > 1:25:01whatever, but he is a beast of a man and he was never going to be

1:25:01 > 1:25:03stopped. England can play better, stopped. England can play better,

1:25:03 > 1:25:12that is what we are saying, and that is what Steve McNamara will be

1:25:12 > 1:25:16saying. Let's get to the right again. Those are the messages he

1:25:16 > 1:25:20will be reinforcing. You are furious with all the things they

1:25:20 > 1:25:25have done wrong. But you are saying that if you are coaching them, you

1:25:25 > 1:25:31would focus on the positives, look at the chances. And don't worry

1:25:31 > 1:25:36about the offload. You have got to throw something different at

1:25:36 > 1:25:41Australia. You have to avoid the brain explosion, kicking for the

1:25:41 > 1:25:45ball and not executing because you invite field position, and they are

1:25:45 > 1:25:52too good. Going back to what Jiffy said, it is about opportunity. You

1:25:52 > 1:25:56have got to get some first and then execute. We have seen to from two

1:25:56 > 1:26:02from Australia and two from five from England for. Talking about

1:26:02 > 1:26:09attack, but England are setting up from -- for the big play. They need

1:26:09 > 1:26:17to be supported. It is a bit like training, build and build an them.

1:26:17 > 1:26:27Australia want to play on every ruck. Let's look at some of this

1:26:27 > 1:26:33

1:26:33 > 1:26:40damn lucky a magic. -- lock key a some of this short passing. He

1:26:40 > 1:26:44expects to come up with these players. He knows he has got a

1:26:44 > 1:26:48support players are now his instincts are, I will provide the

1:26:48 > 1:26:52ball. Sometimes when we think about things, we slow the process down,

1:26:52 > 1:26:54but they want to play and if you look at Australia, they haven't had

1:26:54 > 1:26:59look at Australia, they haven't had a lot of ball in the opposition,

1:26:59 > 1:27:08and that is the negative. It was usually, hugely crucial for England

1:27:08 > 1:27:18to finish that half on a positive which they did. It is this guy

1:27:18 > 1:27:18

1:27:18 > 1:27:23again. Inglis goes in again. Lovely offload, lovely centre play.

1:27:23 > 1:27:30Fullback... It is another great finish. This is Sam Tomkins, goes

1:27:30 > 1:27:35in. Offloads. Jack Reed holds and holds. He doesn't hold him enough

1:27:35 > 1:27:40because the winner, great finish but the fullback, he goes lower.

1:27:40 > 1:27:47The touch line is an extra defender. He goes low, takes him on the lakes,

1:27:47 > 1:27:51and that is a scrum for Australia. A great finish, but you cannot go

1:27:51 > 1:27:57high on that block because you're not going to get any change from it.

1:27:57 > 1:28:03You have got to cut him low. Tomkins, then. Huge excitement

1:28:03 > 1:28:08about this guy. He seems to have matured. Nothing fazes him. He is

1:28:08 > 1:28:12ready for this stage. We have been asking a world-class player to

1:28:12 > 1:28:17stand up for England for a while. Brilliant agility on his feet. He

1:28:17 > 1:28:21can move on a sixpence, and he is stronger than people think he is.

1:28:21 > 1:28:28He has been picking holes in the defence. There is his strength and

1:28:28 > 1:28:32footwork. He is deceptively big. The metres he has made coming out

1:28:32 > 1:28:37of his half. I thought that it was what they were going to struggle

1:28:37 > 1:28:42for. He believes he can get through and brick those tackles. And a lot

1:28:43 > 1:28:48of it is conference. He wants to express himself with the ball. He

1:28:48 > 1:28:53wants to generate something with the ball. He is like Slater, he

1:28:53 > 1:28:59doesn't want to just take the run. You mentioned earlier, they need to

1:28:59 > 1:29:09keep their composure. They need to relax. But because of England's

1:29:09 > 1:29:13lack of match play, why not do the plays let's go down the right side

1:29:13 > 1:29:19and attack because they are unsure of what they're doing, where they

1:29:19 > 1:29:23are coming from. A genuine opportunity for England to beat and

1:29:23 > 1:29:28Australia at Wembley. It would be a huge step forward in terms of

1:29:28 > 1:29:32international rugby league in this country. A quite exciting match to

1:29:32 > 1:29:40come. It was one-sided between New Zealand and Wales earlier with news

1:29:41 > 1:29:47and then scoring entrust four when. -- four minutes. New Zealand were

1:29:47 > 1:29:53immensely strong. They had five tries in the first half. It was 26-

1:29:54 > 1:30:030 in the first half. Wales held New Zealand in the second half for a

1:30:03 > 1:30:13long time. Then they had another try, making it 30-0. It ended 36-0

1:30:13 > 1:30:16

1:30:16 > 1:30:19How tough was that I have there? was very tough. Everybody has got

1:30:19 > 1:30:24to realise was that we have got guys who have only been playing

1:30:24 > 1:30:31well before five years, and to step on a stage like that, it is a

1:30:31 > 1:30:36credit to everyone involved with Ross Roby. -- with Welsh rugby. The

1:30:36 > 1:30:41difference between the top sides and the Middle says is at the top

1:30:42 > 1:30:47sides build pressure. I could not be more proud. The can see them

1:30:47 > 1:30:51building the side, you can see it happening. So or are we, we are

1:30:51 > 1:30:59building for the World Cup. I could not be more proud. It is tiring out

1:30:59 > 1:31:05there. We were caught another week to go against Australia. And there

1:31:05 > 1:31:10is better to come from us, that is for sure. Was it the disappointment

1:31:10 > 1:31:20that you could not score a try? Free has there, telling us how

1:31:20 > 1:31:40

1:31:40 > 1:31:46tough it was against Australia -- minutes to settle this one. What

1:31:46 > 1:31:49Wales have done in that game against New Zealand, in holding New

1:31:50 > 1:31:58Zealand in the second half, they have given a real boost to England.

1:31:58 > 1:32:02If England win here today, four points from two games, then their

1:32:02 > 1:32:08game against New Zealand, they could afford to lose that game by a

1:32:08 > 1:32:12reasonable margin and still qualify for the final. Let's not get

1:32:12 > 1:32:22carried away. We have to concentrate on this match, which

1:32:22 > 1:32:32

1:32:32 > 1:32:37England have the wind, to set up prospect. And here is a man who

1:32:37 > 1:32:42really has starred in this game. Ryan Hall. He cut a sad figure last

1:32:42 > 1:32:52year, limping on the touchline, a man with a hamstring injury, but he

1:32:52 > 1:32:56has rocketed into form. Tanya Arnold is on the touch line.

1:32:56 > 1:33:00the England coach says that they have to keep up the defensive line

1:33:00 > 1:33:05and keep up the good work. Australia need to cut out the

1:33:05 > 1:33:15mistakes, but the Williams drive shows what they can do when they

1:33:15 > 1:33:19get beyond the 22. Briscoe has been accused of knocking on. It was a

1:33:19 > 1:33:26loose cannon. He was targeted by the shoulder of the Australian. But

1:33:26 > 1:33:36it was nothing illegal. A an hour early chance for Australia to pile

1:33:36 > 1:33:47

1:33:47 > 1:33:57Australia beginning to wind themselves up. England's defending

1:33:57 > 1:34:00

1:34:00 > 1:34:07remaining resolute for the moment. He Galloway, pushing forward. He

1:34:07 > 1:34:12and the referee said there were two English players in there, and a

1:34:12 > 1:34:18penalty to Australia. It will be interesting to see this. I was a

1:34:18 > 1:34:26plodding the English defensive effort, for forcing the answer. --

1:34:26 > 1:34:36I was applauding. At the ball was stolen, so it was the right

1:34:36 > 1:34:51

1:34:51 > 1:34:58here, for Australia. Thurston with the short pass, And Greg Inglis and

1:34:58 > 1:35:081ZN. But it might be there was an obstruction in the build up. I just

1:35:08 > 1:35:12

1:35:12 > 1:35:16think this is so poor play. From right to left. -- superb. We are

1:35:16 > 1:35:19looking out towards the centre of the screen. Has the Australian

1:35:19 > 1:35:25player interfered with the England player making that Everett,

1:35:25 > 1:35:32defensively? This might well be judged out by the letter of the law,

1:35:32 > 1:35:36but I think it is very unfortunate. It is behind the defender, but it

1:35:36 > 1:35:45is whether there is interference there, the Australian players

1:35:45 > 1:35:50running through as a lead runner, passing the ball behind them.

1:35:50 > 1:35:59there is contact before the ball is thrown, and it is a letter of the

1:35:59 > 1:36:03law situation. By the spirit of the lock, that should not be disallowed.

1:36:03 > 1:36:10The referee might have decided that this was a good selection of dummy

1:36:10 > 1:36:15runs from Australia. That is what he has given. Greg Inglis guess his

1:36:15 > 1:36:21try. Phenomenal. When he played against England. Six tries in four

1:36:21 > 1:36:27appearances against the English, or Great Britain. A think the video

1:36:27 > 1:36:35referee got that exactly right. You must reward creative play and good

1:36:35 > 1:36:45skill, and that is exactly what the video referee's decision has done.

1:36:45 > 1:36:46

1:36:46 > 1:36:52He was the original penalty. Lovely selection there from Thurston. He

1:36:52 > 1:37:02passed the ball behind John Reid, and found Greg Inglis and plenty of

1:37:02 > 1:37:15

1:37:15 > 1:37:25space. So that he could just cruise kicking has been superb, today,

1:37:25 > 1:37:30

1:37:30 > 1:37:35three out of three. It was a lovely pass from Thurston to Reed. The

1:37:35 > 1:37:41timing and a line of the run from Greg Inglis was superb. That is

1:37:41 > 1:37:47what Tim Sheens' ham time -- have time message would have been a, to

1:37:47 > 1:37:52get some space, and that is exactly what they have done. Don't forget

1:37:52 > 1:37:59the red button for room at half past five. Send us your views by e-

1:37:59 > 1:38:04mail and by Twitter. A good discussion of what we have seen,

1:38:04 > 1:38:13and getting a bit of reaction from both sides. Here comes Dan Lockyer.

1:38:13 > 1:38:23Throwing it wide. Another try would be very damaging to England's holds.

1:38:23 > 1:38:30

1:38:31 > 1:38:36Lockyer. He sends it high and spinning. Ryan Hall has got away

1:38:36 > 1:38:40with that. He has more than got away with it, he has made a decent

1:38:40 > 1:38:47fist of it in the end. Australia have improved over the half-time

1:38:47 > 1:38:54break, with the pressure they are building. Looking much better than

1:38:54 > 1:39:04what the Australian coach, Tim Sheens, has seen in the first half.

1:39:04 > 1:39:07

1:39:07 > 1:39:17He has taken one for the team, if you like. Tony Williams! He didn't

1:39:17 > 1:39:18

1:39:18 > 1:39:24miss him. It will be interesting to see what the referee next of that

1:39:24 > 1:39:34piece of foul play by Tony Williams. You can see there, he really does

1:39:34 > 1:39:35

1:39:35 > 1:39:45catch him high. Ben Westwood is in a little bit of trouble. Tony

1:39:45 > 1:39:55

1:39:55 > 1:40:05Williams, the perpetrators. It was Will it be a telling off or will

1:40:05 > 1:40:08

1:40:08 > 1:40:18there be a card? Did he just say that it was off the shoulder? Of

1:40:18 > 1:40:18

1:40:18 > 1:40:25that is off the shoulder, you would hate to see a high shot. His

1:40:25 > 1:40:35shoulder must start a roundabout his ear. England, having got the

1:40:35 > 1:40:56

1:40:56 > 1:41:01themselves up. Morley driving in. Back to Tomkins, quick hands, and

1:41:01 > 1:41:06that is a penalty. Now, this is controversial. The referee has

1:41:06 > 1:41:16decided that he was tackled and that he had a second attempt after

1:41:16 > 1:41:18

1:41:18 > 1:41:25the tackle was completed. That is a try. He has not touched the floor.

1:41:25 > 1:41:33The momentum of the tackle was not stop. That is or Brewer decision.

1:41:33 > 1:41:39Some great build up play. And England can count themselves very

1:41:39 > 1:41:49unlucky, and so can Steve McNamara, the England coach. That is two

1:41:49 > 1:41:49

1:41:49 > 1:41:57controversial decisions by the referee, Henry Perenara, first from

1:41:57 > 1:42:03the tackle by Tony Williams, and then disallowing that drive. Maybe

1:42:03 > 1:42:07showing his inexperience there, the referee. It looked like a double

1:42:07 > 1:42:17movement, but it wasn't. And that is what the video technology is

1:42:17 > 1:42:34

1:42:34 > 1:42:40there or. Australia still leading blocks his part. -- path. Cricket

1:42:40 > 1:42:50from Cameron's with. They have lost the ball. A great opportunity for

1:42:50 > 1:43:13

1:43:13 > 1:43:23Australia. Uate carried out of play. want to see that. Ben Westwood ran

1:43:23 > 1:43:34

1:43:35 > 1:43:38in as well. I think the penalty will go to Australia. Watmough over

1:43:38 > 1:43:46reacted And then there was some more of a reaction from the guys in

1:43:46 > 1:43:56white. The referee has got a job one-year, trying to calm things

1:43:56 > 1:43:57

1:43:57 > 1:44:04down after a couple of controversial decisions. -- a job

1:44:04 > 1:44:14on here. The touch that judges telling them who swung the first

1:44:14 > 1:44:14

1:44:14 > 1:44:22punch, so the penalty goes England's with. -- way. What a

1:44:22 > 1:44:32great kick that is, good yardage, from Kevin Sinfield. The atmosphere

1:44:32 > 1:44:36

1:44:36 > 1:44:40is intensifying at the moment. Morley drives forward. England on

1:44:40 > 1:44:50the brink. Looking to drag themselves back into this

1:44:50 > 1:44:54competition. Come on, England, it says it. Wembley stadium awaits.

1:44:55 > 1:45:04This is Sam Tomkins. Stepping off the left foot, twice, across the

1:45:05 > 1:45:05

1:45:05 > 1:45:15line. Up England now, 10 points back, needing to score next. He

1:45:15 > 1:45:16

1:45:16 > 1:45:25could take by Rangi Chase. Good feet. England looking for the flags.

1:45:25 > 1:45:30Inches away! And they are none to be pushed back. The referee says no

1:45:30 > 1:45:36advantage. And Steve McNamara is in the away Jack the moment, because

1:45:37 > 1:45:41everything is going against England from the referee. Great defence by

1:45:41 > 1:45:48Australia. They have used the border with the pass, the advantage

1:45:48 > 1:45:51has been taken. Jake Reed let's go. They have taken advantage. That

1:45:51 > 1:45:57should be a drop out from underneath the posts. Very harshly

1:45:57 > 1:46:07dealt with once again there, England. It went past the line

1:46:07 > 1:46:21

1:46:21 > 1:46:26so even if England lose, they still have the chance of making the final

1:46:26 > 1:46:36and they have really said things up here because they will compete and,

1:46:36 > 1:47:03

1:47:03 > 1:47:09boy, will they compete for the next masters of turning a high pressure

1:47:09 > 1:47:13situations into their favour, playing it cool, playing by numbers.

1:47:13 > 1:47:16Driving of their opponents back. They sense a real feeling of

1:47:16 > 1:47:24injustice in this English side, and they will want to wind that up a

1:47:24 > 1:47:34bit. They will provide a sucker punch. Cameron Smith, a dummy half.

1:47:34 > 1:47:45

1:47:45 > 1:47:52are in. Australia embrace. Of the finger has been pointed, and it is

1:47:52 > 1:48:00very much advantage of the green and gold. Exquisite. A real sense

1:48:00 > 1:48:04of injustice for those in white and red. That was an exquisite piece of

1:48:04 > 1:48:11skill from Cronk. He sold the dummy to me and I am high up in the

1:48:11 > 1:48:21stands, looking down on it. What a peach of a pass that was. You see

1:48:21 > 1:48:22

1:48:22 > 1:48:32that? Watch it. My word, everybody thought the ball was going behind

1:48:32 > 1:48:40

1:48:40 > 1:48:43to lot year. It didn't. -- Gareth Lockyer. He crosses for a great try.

1:48:43 > 1:48:47This has raised and his team are very good at that. When everybody

1:48:47 > 1:48:57is losing their heads, they tend to keep theirs and do the little

1:48:57 > 1:49:09

1:49:09 > 1:49:17things right. And the big things a England. 24 for Australia. That is

1:49:17 > 1:49:23a harsh scoreline. Look out his ideas. He looked behind Gallen, he

1:49:23 > 1:49:27looked at Gareth lock here, and that little deception it allowed

1:49:27 > 1:49:37the half a gap to open and gallant timed his run superbly and went

1:49:37 > 1:49:47through to score a very good try indeed. England are being urged on

1:49:47 > 1:49:47

1:49:47 > 1:50:50Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

1:50:50 > 1:51:00tries from Ryan Hall. His finishes Straight forward. You know what you

1:51:00 > 1:51:24

1:51:24 > 1:51:30match against New Zealand. That is going to be a cracker but we still

1:51:30 > 1:51:39have 24 minutes of this game. It is a fair deficit, but England have

1:51:39 > 1:51:42played it very well. They need the next score and belief will grow.

1:51:42 > 1:51:46The Challenge Cup final against Wigan, when they thought they were

1:51:46 > 1:51:56going to bring it back from the brink, maybe that self-belief is

1:51:56 > 1:52:12

1:52:12 > 1:52:22You can see highlights of this game for the discussion. The reaction to

1:52:22 > 1:52:25

1:52:25 > 1:52:30what we have seen. We will be pitch that have had a really good

1:52:30 > 1:52:34game. We talked about the scratchy performance against France and the

1:52:34 > 1:52:44OK performance against Wales, but they have stepped up today. They

1:52:44 > 1:53:04

1:53:04 > 1:53:09Briscoe, he put the kick in. Australia start within sight of

1:53:09 > 1:53:14their own line. Thurston, he was on the defensive line and he swept

1:53:14 > 1:53:22around the back four that kick. There was a little question about

1:53:22 > 1:53:32that treatment of Sam Tomkins which was less than friendly. Three

1:53:32 > 1:53:56

1:53:56 > 1:54:06menu where they are looking after the ball, putting a good kick in

1:54:06 > 1:54:06

1:54:06 > 1:54:48Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

1:54:48 > 1:54:55nothing! -- and Reed will score. From the depths of despair, sheer

1:54:55 > 1:55:02jury. And England are back in the context -- in the contest. Good on

1:55:02 > 1:55:07you, feller. That was a great take from him. It wasn't the best kick.

1:55:07 > 1:55:17It is about the chase. They have turned it into a great kick simply

1:55:17 > 1:55:18

1:55:18 > 1:55:28by that. He has ignited the game once again. The kick, it isn't the

1:55:28 > 1:55:30

1:55:30 > 1:55:36best. But it was really well read. There was so much space. It is a

1:55:36 > 1:55:45contest, fullback verses centre. Reed climbs high a. He looks to

1:55:45 > 1:55:50pass at but then, no. And he's cause. What a great try. It is

1:55:50 > 1:56:00still only four tries to three. Kicking has been so important.

1:56:00 > 1:56:00

1:56:00 > 1:56:08Sinfield needs to nail this. And here it goes. The flags are up. 14-

1:56:08 > 1:56:1724. 20. -- 10 points in it. 19 minutes to play. It is on. I would

1:56:17 > 1:56:26love to see a genuine contest. The English lad came out on top. And in

1:56:26 > 1:56:31different kick was turned into his six-point turnaround. It gives

1:56:31 > 1:56:41England hope for the last 18 minutes. Saturday afternoon in

1:56:41 > 1:57:21

1:57:21 > 1:57:31November and rugby league on the grow. Sinfield puts the kick away.

1:57:31 > 1:57:41

1:57:41 > 1:57:45It will be traced by Boyd. -- they have to spin the ball around.

1:57:45 > 1:57:55They've got to play loose. They have got more than two tries to

1:57:55 > 1:58:24

1:58:24 > 1:58:31make up and they will want to play players behind the line. A missed

1:58:31 > 1:58:35opportunity. That is a shame. There was a bit of momentum there to Sam

1:58:35 > 1:58:45Tomkins. He wanted to speed the game up but the referee was exactly

1:58:45 > 1:58:51

1:58:51 > 1:58:57England given hope. Are they should be a lot closer than this. A

1:58:57 > 1:59:07mistake by the referee, otherwise it would have been a lot closer.

1:59:07 > 1:59:12

1:59:12 > 1:59:17buying some time for his defensive line. It is a great field position

1:59:17 > 1:59:22for England. You know, another score and there will be doubt in

1:59:22 > 1:59:32the minds of the green and gold. Let's see what they have got in the

1:59:42 > 1:59:50offside. The agony on the face of Steve McNamara. It was the lack of

1:59:50 > 1:59:54concentration. It has crept up. Errors made, England 9, Australia 6.

1:59:54 > 2:00:00That is why are as rare have gained a little bit of ascendancy. You

2:00:00 > 2:00:07have got to admit the resolve in the English players, they have put

2:00:07 > 2:00:17in a good game. There is still time. This English side have got a lot of

2:00:17 > 2:00:19

2:00:19 > 2:00:29and territory in the second half and that has allowed in to score

2:00:29 > 2:00:29

2:00:29 > 2:00:37the boys. -- points. Jamie Peacock thought he should have been allowed

2:00:37 > 2:00:46to play on, then. He should. The referee was quick to blows whistle.

2:00:46 > 2:00:55Jamie Peacock was off. The third man in the tackle, targeting the

2:00:55 > 2:01:01ball, forcing the hour. There are not many times in his career that

2:01:01 > 2:01:11Jamie Peacock has scored a try from 30 yards plus, and he had the

2:01:11 > 2:01:20

2:01:20 > 2:01:30chance there, had it not been for 61 years of age. One of the most

2:01:30 > 2:01:46

2:01:46 > 2:01:56Sinfield has been outstanding. Rangi Chase, with a couple of

2:01:56 > 2:01:58

2:01:58 > 2:02:05dummies. The Australians get to him in numbers. Sinfield, not the time,

2:02:05 > 2:02:09they have Wing to have to run it, and it is taken by Greg Inglis.

2:02:09 > 2:02:16That was a rush of blood. They would have been better putting the

2:02:16 > 2:02:21ball through hands. It was a poor kick, the wrong decision, but that

2:02:21 > 2:02:28is what pressure like this does, it forces you to make difficult

2:02:29 > 2:02:33decisions in the blink of an eye. massive effort from Kevin Sinfield.

2:02:33 > 2:02:43He is playing his 40th game of the year. He has been involved in every

2:02:43 > 2:02:52

2:02:52 > 2:02:58round of the Super League and was a difficult bounce. They have

2:02:58 > 2:03:02gone back to the kick and chase. That is the way they regain

2:03:02 > 2:03:09composure and control within the game. But this England side have

2:03:09 > 2:03:13given them a good shake up. Tanya Arnold is on the touchline.

2:03:13 > 2:03:17options are narrowing for Steve McNamara. Gareth Ellis is

2:03:17 > 2:03:27struggling with a back injury and has not been on the field for some

2:03:27 > 2:03:39

2:03:39 > 2:03:43The referee called that the ball had been held because he was not

2:03:43 > 2:03:53tackled. He is giving the scrum. The shouldn't it be to the

2:03:53 > 2:04:03attacking team? If the referee makes a mistake. That is a puzzler.

2:04:03 > 2:04:17

2:04:17 > 2:04:25been a free to England. The referee has found it tough as the heat of

2:04:26 > 2:04:30this Test match has picked up. will certainly want to talk about

2:04:30 > 2:04:40England's performance today, it has been good, but the Australians with

2:04:40 > 2:04:41

2:04:41 > 2:04:51that ten-point advantage. You can talk about that on the red button

2:04:51 > 2:04:51

2:04:51 > 2:05:01forum and through Twitter. 10 minutes left to play. Uate! Knocked

2:05:01 > 2:05:03

2:05:03 > 2:05:08on. Sigh of relief from the England supporters. It was there. And it

2:05:08 > 2:05:17was Greg Inglis, the ball came off him and a forward direction, so it

2:05:17 > 2:05:24was a knock-on. That allows England to regroup. But it is a long way to

2:05:24 > 2:05:34the Australian goal line. The they are ticking along time. The clock

2:05:34 > 2:05:48

2:05:48 > 2:05:53has been stocked and now it starts of Tom Briscoe. He he works very

2:05:53 > 2:05:58hard. All of the England back three have what really are up to bring

2:05:58 > 2:06:05the ball back into play, quickly. And there was an extra grand of the

2:06:05 > 2:06:15leg, into fears at the ruck, and, rightly, the penalty is given. --

2:06:15 > 2:06:38

2:06:38 > 2:06:48holds onto. After their causing problems again here, either. He and

2:06:48 > 2:06:58Thurston is away. Terrific defending by Tomkins! Australia are

2:06:58 > 2:07:03

2:07:03 > 2:07:13Foden numbers. -- forward in numbers. Now, Dan Lockyer, and

2:07:31 > 2:07:37this is why Australia are such a great team. They show such

2:07:37 > 2:07:47composure and control. And ultimately ended up with a try, for

2:07:47 > 2:07:53

2:07:53 > 2:07:59pariahs boy. -- Darius Boyd. Rangi Chase, again, taking the rest. And

2:07:59 > 2:08:03intelligent tracking by Jack Reed, to defuse that situation, but this

2:08:03 > 2:08:12is the control and composure and skill and execution under intense

2:08:12 > 2:08:19pressure. Three lovely passes, to Boyd. Then it goes out to Darren

2:08:19 > 2:08:29Lockyer. By packing off, Kirk Yeaman gave them the space, and

2:08:29 > 2:08:37

2:08:37 > 2:08:42that was the try. 28-14 With a kick to come. Thurston Has not missed

2:08:42 > 2:08:50the kick so far. Looking for success No. 5. Just inside the far

2:08:50 > 2:08:55post. Five out of five. 14 per England, 34 Australia. Looked at

2:08:55 > 2:09:04that scoreline, and you shake your head, and you see, it has not been

2:09:04 > 2:09:09that one-sided. You can admire some lovely skill, left to right passing.

2:09:09 > 2:09:15It is the composure and control, just camped up there, after that

2:09:15 > 2:09:20you intercept, but England can take great heart from this, but they

2:09:20 > 2:09:25have to admire the goal kicking from Johnathan Thurston. Five out

2:09:25 > 2:09:35of five. Absolutely first-class kicking in the intense situation of

2:09:35 > 2:09:35

2:09:35 > 2:10:20Apology for the loss of subtitles for 62 seconds

2:10:21 > 2:10:28the sidelines at the moment. Maybe whose continue performance in this

2:10:28 > 2:10:33game has been cut short, because of injury. We have lost some pretty

2:10:33 > 2:10:39influential figures in the pack. They are not going to win this game

2:10:39 > 2:10:49now, Anthony to focus on building to New Zealand next week, obviously,

2:10:49 > 2:10:55

2:10:55 > 2:11:01away. It is a winner-takes-all game. Australia, as a result of this,

2:11:01 > 2:11:11almost certainly in the final. And England are over his omission Mark

2:11:11 > 2:11:17

2:11:17 > 2:11:25magic from Sam Tomkins. --!. We had been waxing lyrical, and that was

2:11:25 > 2:11:29better, because that ended up with a try it. Some great sharp passing.

2:11:29 > 2:11:34Tomkins attracts three players, and then it is a right hand offload

2:11:35 > 2:11:39with three players around him, and Chris Heighington is over. Well

2:11:39 > 2:11:43done to Kevin Sinfield and Sam Tomkins were creating the

2:11:43 > 2:11:47opportunity for Chris Heighington to score. Although England are

2:11:47 > 2:11:57defeated, coach Steve McNamara will be very happy with what he has seen

2:11:57 > 2:11:59

2:11:59 > 2:12:06on the field today. There is then points of a difference. Not enough

2:12:06 > 2:12:16time left, really, for England. But it is all about finishing with a

2:12:16 > 2:12:17

2:12:17 > 2:12:27little momentum. Chris Heighington, the try scorer. And they may meet

2:12:27 > 2:12:32

2:12:32 > 2:12:42again. He lovely in to clear. -- Lovely interplay. Super,

2:12:42 > 2:12:45

2:12:45 > 2:12:50international quality drive. -- try, West with throws it wide. Never had

2:12:50 > 2:12:55the pace to test them, so to the safer option of going inside. They

2:12:55 > 2:13:01are taking gambles and it has not come off. They will take a lot of

2:13:01 > 2:13:11self-belief from his performance. Should we meet again in the final,

2:13:11 > 2:13:28

2:13:29 > 2:13:37injustice inside this English side over the next week, maybe the next

2:13:37 > 2:13:43fortnight. Now, is thus a double movement? He has got the video

2:13:43 > 2:13:52referee this time. He is quite right about that. Chris Lawrence,

2:13:52 > 2:13:57this is his momentum. It pains me to say it. His arm and it's the

2:13:57 > 2:14:01floor, but the momentum of the tackle is continuing, and he has

2:14:01 > 2:14:07every right to police the ball whenever he sees that, and that is

2:14:07 > 2:14:17over the line. He cannot stop himself. And I think he will give

2:14:17 > 2:14:18

2:14:18 > 2:14:25that us a try. Again, it is a superb left-to-right passing. Up he

2:14:25 > 2:14:30has scored one try and created two, should this try be given. It is

2:14:30 > 2:14:37cruel on England because they were taking risks. And that resulted in

2:14:37 > 2:14:47that try. No arguments from the England crowd. That was a decent

2:14:47 > 2:14:57decision by the video referee. Nothing wrong with that. There-4-20.

2:14:57 > 2:15:02

2:15:02 > 2:15:06-- 34-20. This is a superb, accurate and weighted pass, which

2:15:07 > 2:15:14allowed him to hit the gap, and his momentum to come over for a very

2:15:14 > 2:15:18good tries. The conversion to the Try being lined up by Johnathan

2:15:18 > 2:15:28Thurston, to make it six out of six, and they have all been difficult

2:15:28 > 2:15:42

2:15:42 > 2:15:47Johnathan Thurston might move to six. Next season, he looks he is

2:15:47 > 2:15:57going to be playing at stand-off. We will have to wait and see

2:15:57 > 2:16:02

2:16:02 > 2:16:07It is a heck of a difference in scoreline. Johnathan Thurston,

2:16:07 > 2:16:14quite rightly named Man of the Match. A superb game from him. They

2:16:14 > 2:16:20have got the heir-apparent to Gareth luckier -- Darren Lockyer's

2:16:20 > 2:16:25crown. Lawrence has pushed out of play. The referee says that is the

2:16:25 > 2:16:30end of the game. It is a crawl scoreline as far as England are

2:16:30 > 2:16:35concerned. Australia winning 36-20. That disguises how well England

2:16:35 > 2:16:39have played today. It said sudden exit's match against his Zealand as

2:16:39 > 2:16:43an apps at Blockbuster and the winners of that will join Australia

2:16:43 > 2:16:48in the Four Nations final and England will feel that they have a

2:16:48 > 2:16:58little bit of injustice to put right. We shall see. Full-time at

2:16:58 > 2:17:06

2:17:06 > 2:17:10A lot of reaction from you watching at home. Matt says, a cracking game,

2:17:10 > 2:17:15and so much to analyse. The decisions by the referee making a

2:17:15 > 2:17:25crucial impact on the direction of this match after point won it would

2:17:25 > 2:17:28have been told-18, had the referee gone to a video referee. He decided

2:17:28 > 2:17:36not to. That made an awful lot of difference but Australia were

2:17:36 > 2:17:41deserved winners. They win 36-20. The players embrace each other and

2:17:41 > 2:17:50swap shirts. Lots of discussion there for Sinfield and the rest.

2:17:50 > 2:17:55Tanya, she will get as many players as she can. Tim, the scoreline. Was

2:17:55 > 2:18:02it easier than it was? Yes. The scoreline doesn't reflect the game

2:18:02 > 2:18:11because England kept us honest. We struggled for lots of periods. I

2:18:11 > 2:18:16was happy the way the guys pull together, having to play slate on

2:18:16 > 2:18:20the wing. How is he? That will be the end of him for that tour

2:18:20 > 2:18:26because he has fractured his shoulder. You must have been

2:18:26 > 2:18:30pleased with how clinical they were in terms of scoring. We were under

2:18:30 > 2:18:36the pump for a fair bit and gave away a lot of penalties. We allowed

2:18:36 > 2:18:39England to get down on our line. We scored some good points as well,

2:18:39 > 2:18:46nevertheless. You have had a few comments about the referees before,

2:18:46 > 2:18:50what about this one? After looking at the game, I will comment. There

2:18:50 > 2:18:56were a number of issues and I am sure both coaches wouldn't be 100%

2:18:56 > 2:19:02happy with them. It was a fairly strong game, by the same token.

2:19:02 > 2:19:07What do you make of this England team? They can get a lot of belief

2:19:07 > 2:19:10from that. They have got a big game against New Zealand next week.

2:19:10 > 2:19:14Obviously, you think the winner of that is going to come through and

2:19:14 > 2:19:19we have got to take on Wales. We have got to get through that yet.

2:19:20 > 2:19:24It will be a tough game. The England match will be the big match

2:19:24 > 2:19:30next week. Have you enjoyed the Wembley experience? Yes, because we

2:19:30 > 2:19:37have won. That aside, I hope people enjoyed a good game. Thank you for

2:19:37 > 2:19:42your time. Now, man of the match, Johnathan Thurston. He is getting

2:19:42 > 2:19:49congratulated. Getting his Gillette trophy. Congratulations. That looks

2:19:49 > 2:19:53like a tough game. It was. I said during the week that they stuck it

2:19:53 > 2:19:58-- they would stick it to us. And they did. They exposed us on the

2:19:58 > 2:20:03left edge quite a bit. And we need to be better. How difficult in

2:20:03 > 2:20:08terms of rearranging the team is that now with Billy Slater gone?

2:20:08 > 2:20:14is the best player in the world, he does so much for us. We will have

2:20:14 > 2:20:17to reshuffle a few boys around. We will have to continue to play.

2:20:17 > 2:20:23must be delighted with your kicking today. I have been a bit rusty but

2:20:23 > 2:20:28it was good to get a few over. about playing at Wembley? Look, I

2:20:28 > 2:20:33really enjoyed it. The crowd were outstanding. So much atmosphere. My

2:20:33 > 2:20:38first time here, hopefully not the last. Who do you think you might be

2:20:38 > 2:20:42facing in the final? It is too hard to say now but when you play in

2:20:42 > 2:20:46England, you would like to play them in the final. It would be

2:20:46 > 2:20:51great if they get there, but we will wait and see. How much belief

2:20:51 > 2:20:56do you think they will get from this? Heaps. They really started to

2:20:56 > 2:21:01was. They exposed us on both edges so they will take a lot out of it.

2:21:01 > 2:21:07Thank you and congratulations. Thank you. Now, Jamie Peacock, the

2:21:07 > 2:21:14England captain. That wasn't very fair, was it? That scoreline, no.

2:21:14 > 2:21:17We got injured, a couple of things and go our way. We need the small

2:21:17 > 2:21:22things to for our way and they didn't. You must be a huge belief

2:21:22 > 2:21:26from that, though. PS, we have got to beat New Zealand next week if we

2:21:26 > 2:21:31want to get through to the final, so we have got to get on with it.

2:21:31 > 2:21:37Thank you very much. Quickly, Ryan Hall. You might be on the wrong

2:21:37 > 2:21:44side of that, but he's got two cracking tries. I get the glory

2:21:44 > 2:21:54position. I did it in spectacular fashion, but we're disappointed

2:21:54 > 2:22:00that we lost. We need to get these Australian players sooner or later

2:22:00 > 2:22:08and it would be great at Elland Road two weeks -- in two weeks.

2:22:08 > 2:22:16We've got to get our heads down. Marshall said it was their great

2:22:16 > 2:22:26Grand Final, it is for you to. No disrespect for Wales, but

2:22:26 > 2:22:29Australia are on good form and we expect them to get the win.

2:22:29 > 2:22:32Commiserations, Ryan, but a great performance.

2:22:32 > 2:22:37Ryan Hall already looking forward to the match next weekend against

2:22:37 > 2:22:39New Zealand, which, if England win, they will be in the final of this

2:22:39 > 2:22:44Four Nations tournament against Australia and we will have

2:22:44 > 2:22:50highlights of that match on BBC Two next Sunday, 13th November, 4pm.

2:22:50 > 2:22:57This is how of the table stands. Australia are through to the final

2:22:57 > 2:23:00and chances are they will beat Wales. England... England and New

2:23:00 > 2:23:04Zealand on two points each and they need each other next weekend. So

2:23:04 > 2:23:08many things to get through and we will have a lot to discuss on the

2:23:08 > 2:23:12Red Button for him as soon as we come off the air. We will try to

2:23:12 > 2:23:17get more play interviews as well. Now, the crucial moments of the

2:23:17 > 2:23:24second half. First of all, the try for Greg Inglis. Was this

2:23:24 > 2:23:34obstruction? Was that a penalty? is a penalty. He has got his hands

2:23:34 > 2:23:35

2:23:35 > 2:23:39on the ball. Again, this is the try. Is it obstruction or not? I think

2:23:39 > 2:23:44we'd mac pops out anyway. If he stays where he is, that's fine. He

2:23:44 > 2:23:54made a couple of errors. But I think that is the right call.

2:23:54 > 2:23:55

2:23:55 > 2:24:03enough. So don't feel hard done bye-bye that. If you think it is a

2:24:03 > 2:24:0750-50 call, in the context of the game, don't give it. What are you

2:24:07 > 2:24:10trying to say? I have no idea what he is trying to say! There were a

2:24:10 > 2:24:15few decisions one after another that went against England. There

2:24:15 > 2:24:19was a high tackle on Ben Westwood from Tony Williams. And this was

2:24:19 > 2:24:25judged to be the shoulder, so when did the elbow become the shoulder?

2:24:25 > 2:24:35I was playing devil's advocate. There was an Englishman going crazy.

2:24:35 > 2:24:38

2:24:38 > 2:24:43As an Australian I felt it came off his shoulder. If you look from a

2:24:43 > 2:24:46defensive point of view, both teams had some problems on the edges and

2:24:46 > 2:24:51both wingers were outstanding, but how he doesn't score first half,

2:24:51 > 2:24:55but why he doesn't go to the video... This is judged to be a

2:24:55 > 2:25:00double move. Why doesn't he go to the video referee? That is why we

2:25:00 > 2:25:03have a video referee. I can't believe they didn't score in the

2:25:03 > 2:25:11first instance because he was so strong, but you have got to go to

2:25:11 > 2:25:15the video referee. Red card and then a try. To explain, the ball

2:25:15 > 2:25:19carrying arm hadn't touched the ground so he was able to carry on

2:25:19 > 2:25:24playing for stop so it is not about the ball touching the ground? And

2:25:24 > 2:25:29no. If his elbow had touched it. don't think the defender had

2:25:29 > 2:25:34control over him anyway. You have got to stop the progress and commit

2:25:34 > 2:25:43the player to play the ball, so he didn't have it. If Tony Williams

2:25:43 > 2:25:53had been sent off, for his high tackle, Briscoe given the try, the

2:25:53 > 2:25:54

2:25:54 > 2:25:59whole match... That is the thing! Referee calls play a major part in

2:25:59 > 2:26:07the game. Red card first of all for Tony Williams, and then the try for

2:26:07 > 2:26:12Briscoe. Just watch this. I thought Ian was right. He does deflect off

2:26:12 > 2:26:18the shoulder, but I had a look at that a couple of times and that is

2:26:18 > 2:26:22a red card. The report system is very good. But what you do is if

2:26:23 > 2:26:28you put on report, if he doesn't play against Wales, it doesn't

2:26:28 > 2:26:31matter, does it? Because England have missed out. You'd two were

2:26:31 > 2:26:37missing out on biology. If that is the shoulder, there is something
