I'd sack Sheens now! With that amount of talent in the backline their attack was woeful. How many sets in NZ 20? Apart from the Cam Smith offload in the middle of the field and a couple of Inglis breaks they lacked fluency, cohesion and played far too much one out grind. NZ forwards must have been licking their lips the way the Australians kept insisiting on running straight at them and getting chewed up.

Whoever told Sheens they could win it in the forwards is a clown!

God help both.

The Aussie pack sees much weaker than usual, maybe it was down to the way New Zealand played but either way, Lockyer and Thurston were quiet all game. If England have any sence, they would pay it down the middle just like the kiwis did.

Yeah I think they went for their most explosive back row in Waterhouse, Hoffman and Watmough. I'd be surprised if Gallen, Hindarsh, or both, didn't make the cut for the next games to add a bit of steel to the pack.
