Agreed
and the accidental injury to Shenton allowed them to refocus / regroup but we sadly seemd to do the opposite. |

England's inability to hold a lead for any length of time really cost them in that department.
Couple of times they went in front only to then concede and be behind again the next five minutes, removing the opportunity to put more mental pressure on the Australians.
And is it just me, or did England's entire attacking and defensive structure fall apart around their ears when Roby came into the game, late in both halves? |

We certainly didn't look as organised with him on the field. |

NO its not just you...moving Sinfield away from the AHB was a disaster, What Smith should have done is send on a runner to kick the 2 halfbacks up the @rse  |

A few of England's supposed young "stars" had the deficiencies in their games cruelly exposed unfortunately. Whether they have the drive and enthusiasm to correct those deficiencies now they have "made it" will decide whether they become great players or simply good ones. |

The ones who realise the way to compete is to play against them week in week out will be the ones who really improve - Ellis is a far better player than he was a year ago - that is the way forward
Roby will be spending another year as a bit player whilst Cunningham tops his pension up - as for Tomkins he will have to have more in his armoury than a simple step off his left foot and his defence - McGuire got a lot of justified critisism but if you use the same criteria then Tomkins cannot avoid similar. As for Eastmond - was he on the field - one speculative kick aside he contributed almost nothing. |

Couple of good moments, but other than that I agree. Infact I actually thought Westwood had a better series. |

Some of the play in the last 20 was sensational, the backline almost unplayable - mind you having Bridge and Fox together was a tactical shambles.'"
Just for the record, Anaconda's don't chew, or spit. |

I'm not even going to ask what you have been trying to do with an Anoconda to find that out. |
