Some of the worst refereeing I have seen in a long time. 3 of the Aussie wickets weren't even close to out, bit of a joke really. Though being a kiwi I enjoy seeing the Aussies lose(esp Ponting). 
Go the English!
Love seeing McGrath suffer in his jocks,the chump after predicting a 5-0 rout.
On a side note:
Rugby league > Rugby Union > American football.
League I feel is far superior to either. The ball is in play far more often and for longer periods of time. The game is far quicker than either Union or AF and much more exciting, all imho

yes this is correct, from a spectators position rugby league delivers regularly the most entertaining game.
But from a pure beauty standpoint Union is unsurpassed when it all comes together in those sporting magical moments, Im talking about the movements that go on for ~3minutes from one side of the field to the next through everybodies in the team's hands, quick turnovers etc. It is the most poetic team sport.
Pontings not so bad, michael clark though seems a total toser.
Rugby League is, without a doubt, one of the most tedious team sports to watch that I can think of (lots of non-team sports are tedious). Lots of muscle-bound blokes running in to each other, wriggling comically on the floor then kicking the ball forward when they run out of tackles.
Rugby Union can be boring on occasion (but then so can most sports), but the games can also be fantastic as the recent Lions tour of SA showed. You'll struggle to find many sporting events as intense as those games.
