If I was watching it, I wouldn't need the score!

I'm dim then, coz I can't see it on Sporting Life.

Its still nil nil according to Sporting Life, so there is obviously a problem somewhere.
Never mind, its all good for the profile of the game.

Thought it was a decent performance from England tonight. Moore, Burgess and Myler were excellent. Gareth Hock was great, as were JP and Morley. Thought we looked pretty flat and unorganised when Roby came on to hooker. He's a bit of a one trick pony isn't he. Far better with Moore in there I thought. Can see him being the best 9 in the country in a few years, reminds me very much of a young Newton.

Hock was poor by his standards tonight. Burgess, Myler, Morley and Peacock were all good. McGuire was better than i've seen him before at international level.

How was Hock poor?

I said by his standards. He's been excellent in SL this season, but last night he knocked on twice in opportunities that would have led to tries and didn't seem to run with the aggression he has done all season.

You must have been watching a different game buddy. He played very well.

I may well have been. Couldn't care less now, just happy that we have now put in a solid, full 80, positive performance. I'm more bothered about us than England anyway .

I'm all for enhancing the international game, but as it stands you really have to question the validity of this fixture.

The Aussies say almost every time they play England!

I take your point, but I think we're a bit closer to the Aussies than France are to us.

I think we were on the right lines with an origin game, better still a series.

Much as I hate to say it I'm finding it harder to get excited about international RL where England are involved.

I'll be going to this year's 4 nations final though, the game will be between Australia and New Zealand.

We just aren't at the races compared with them.

Why?

The crowds for internationals are pitiful compared to meaningful club fixtures.

The coverage is non-existent practically.
