Agree, I haven't seen England play that competitive in ages, they just seem to lack that bit extra that would allow them to close out the game which is frustrating. I don't think we were ever beating Australia due to the ref gate scandal, but it seems we bottled it against NZ and bombed way too many chances.

Stopped dead at this post.



That's all for now.

For all the people who want McNamara to stay on.

If your clubs head coach resigned today, would you be happy with McNamara being given the job?

I certainly wouldn't!!

Read the rest now.

People talk as though we are miles away when the reality is we have been a missed tackle and a bad video refereeing decision away from two finals in the last twelve months. This is a mostly young group of players that have made this the best England team since we got rid of GB. Any perceived mistakes made can be learned from by both players and coaches. To make changes to the coaching now could derail all the massive improvements we have made and would only be compounded further if the only realistic option decided he didn't want the job.

Given that there's a world of difference between coaching a club side and coaching an international side, that's a moot point.

Although I suspect you already know that.

I'll take that as a no then.

say what you like McNamara has a history of losing.

people say he's been unlucky 3 times in the last 3 big games. If it happens that often it isn't luck it's a pattern.

and what's he learnt from his time in Australia? How to attack like Wigan.
