Cheers, Australia will be a tough nut to crack.
Having had chance to watch the game again, blimey England played well. Not a single player had a bad game. Further to my previous post, I feel sorry for George Burgess. He had a cracking game as well as his brother.

Ban SL clubs from signing overseas stand offs, scrum halfs or hookers! Those are the positions we need better and deeper options in.

I think they panicked in the last minute, a team of winners would have just tackled and let the opposition kick up the field, England started to panic, ended up giving away a penalty, ended up stretch across the park and even the last gasp chance of pushing the try scorer further out by standing him up rather than going for the tackle happened. Push him another 10 ft further out and the kick was missable.

Any other game, Sinfield would have kicked the ball dead wasted a few more seconds forming the scrum! Why he kicked it infield only he knows.
England were the better more composed team for most of the game.

Brough should have been in. I can only think it was a case of K. Sinfield was in, D Brough was out!! There was all the complaining about Chase not being in sync with Sinfield? Trying not to be disrespectful to Mr Sinfield but yes, too old and evidently too slow. Chase is an outstanding player with great skills and managed correctly I am sure would have combined well with Brough. I am not a fan of McNamara and his lack of ability as a manager at international level did show.
Hock was shown the door too soon, that was a bad decision for timely reasons. McNamara's ego and his eagerness too show who is boss, lost him bigtime!! The problem with preparing big in the hope of beating Australia in the first game at Cardiff (I was there) meant that a failure there was a big problem after.
Australia were good, yes, however NZ were pretty beaten up by England in the semi's and left there game in the semi's.
As we are mentioning names who were omitted, what about St Helen's Lomax?  Sam Tomkins struggles at International level.
