They played well tonight, and have toughened up with two hard games having the stamina to last eighty minutes tonight. The forwards, especially Graham played well. Should give the aussies a hard game and hopefully spoil the Lockyear party.

Real quality that, no surprise it went pretty much un-noticed by the know-nowt commentators, likewise Wilkin's quick hands for Briscoe's try.

I get riled when you hear Eddie and Stevo raving over some simple plays then completely missing some genuine class. Not just those two instances, it happens all the time.

The modern day 13 is no longer an oversize halfback but more like a 3rd 2ndrower.

Has it, or is the pack just laying a better platform? When Sean Long or Paul Deacon were kicking for England/GB they were doing it from within their own 40.

There haven't been many occasions in this series where Sinfield has had to kick from his own half.

Got to agree. Every week Stevo creams himself over a flashy yet simple to execute pass. Yet a perfectly worked set play were 5 or 6 players all play their part to perfection often goes without a mention.

Roby - 48 tackles, wow!
