England v Australia - Rugby

[Barrel of Fun]

Pretty scrappy game more concerned about the Aussie player stretchered off after a collapsed scrum - hope he's OK.

Gosh. Any news yet?

None yet but as stated you need to be very careful with neck injuries so fingers crossed he will be OK.

I ended up getting board of the Worthing v Old Colfeians match and went into the bar to watch the England game.

Wothing won 47-0 BTW.

Does anyone know what happened to the Aussie player who had to go off on a stretcher, looked very nasty.

Nothing on BBC but hopefully he is OK. You have to take extreme precautions with neck injuries as they are neigh on impossible to diagnose at the scene and one false move may compound the issue.

The score flattered the aussies - we played very well

why is it called a try? I've always wondered that!!

It's called a try because back in the day, touching the ball down over the line let you have a 'try' at kicking the ball at goal, which was the only way you'd actually score points.

Good news on that Aussie prop - seems OK
