The whole team played well, only thing that let us down was goal kicking and the ref. Stop bickering!!

Really? That was one of my main criticisms of him! Thought his ball return was sub-standard and lacking in any sort of confidence of enthusiasm.

I will watch again when sober, but from what I saw after a few drinks his kick returns were woeful and hugely lethargic and ineffective. Granted I might be in the minority. I noticed the commentators hooting and hollering when he ran to the line and made about 5 meters by crabbing across field

While I was sat at my TV swearing at him for being

How was Williams high shot on Westwood any different to Edwards on Clyde or Morley on Kearns?

Should have been sent off and unless we reach the final it will be Wales and NZ who benefit from his suspension which is sod all use to England.

Chase was ineffective again, missed a few vital tackles, turned the ball over to Australia from a naive decision to go for touch on a 20mtr drop out resulting in a try for Austala.

Threw a stupid intercept result, try to Australia.

Referee gave some poor and one eyed decisions agains England, well done Tim Sheens, starting with a harsh penalty early doors on Weswood, penalising Westwood again for a fair tackle on Thaiday, Briscoes no try/try, Yeaman tackled/not tackled etc..

McNamaras pi55 poor decision to exclude Carvell was another factor.

We shouldn't have needed to have relied on Sinfield converting the kicks and the referee not being . We had ample opportunity to score 40 points from tries alone. But every time we got into the Aus 20m zone we made an error and handed over possession.

You can't put that inefficiency on the ref or Sinfield. We should have won IN SPITE of those 2 things.

Was probably a yellow but you're talking wet. Australia had some terrible calls against them, especially in the first half.

Westwood pushed the boundaries all game. I'm surprised he wasn't sin binned, to be completely honest with you. He deserved too - A long with Watmough.

I agree Yeaman was poor, but I really dont know what game you were watching if you thought Briscoe had a bad game. fwiw I thought Reed was the worst of our backs. Cost us a try by shooting out of the line and aside from his try (great take) he did nothing else. In fact it would surprise me if someone said he touched the ball more than three times.

sam tomkins runs across the field crab style, i suppose that makes him sub-standard!

Think your the one talking crap fella, Williams should have seen a red card and in the rule book you can't sin bin for foul play.

Westwood was superb throughout, if your looking for someone who pushed he boundaries look no further than Gallen.

Wasn't Reed's fault that try was scored. Was abysmal goal line defending from Tomkins and whoever else was there. There was ample time and room to smash the Australian and prevent a try.

Switch roles and the Australians would have prevented that try, with or without one of their rushing up out of the line

But the difference is when Sam Tomkins ran across the field he drew defenders and either played his man into a break or made a break himself. Briscoe runs up - very, very slowly - and is tackled. He poses no threat and is completely ineffective.

I don't know if we get opta stats from these games but it'd be interesting to send how many tackle busts Briscoe made for someone who is 'completely ineffective'.
