Shocking end to the game, but overall not a bad showing. SOL man of the series... Ok? Smith and Jerry good picks for the last game.

I wonder if all those who absolutely bagged Matty Smith will come here and admit they were wrong after his MoM performance?

how pointless? it's a test series, if thats the case then every game is pointless?

already have.
although i haven't questioned the player more the coaches decision to pick him, but credit to player and coach today.

McNamara interview had undertones of him jacking it in, anyone else get that impression?

well played Matty Smith.
however, all he did was what he does week in week out. simple skills, executed with precision.
we are still missing the spark and creativity.
lots of tries by forwards; no tries from backs (?)
1 solid if unspectacular centre; 1 anonymous centre.
a fairly decent defensive back 3, but nothing in attack at the right end of the field (very good play out of defence though).
exceptional pack once again. we really do miss Sam T for that bit of spark in the back field.
Over the next 2 years we really do need to find a creative half-back and a couple of centres (I'm not convinced that Jack Reed is the answer there either).

so - well done england. a lot better, but more needed.

I wasn't keen on Smith, but yes he played very well today. his long kicking was vital in the 2nd half.

I thought so too, it'll be a "Mutual decision" I reckon.

Just don't give it to Lowes

Kearney is a class act. Did't mention the ref!
England still aren't creative enough for me.They don't seem t have the skill / craft to create tries out wide. Withut that they will always struggle to beat Australia and a full strength NZ.

the list of try scorers in the series says it all
