Best I've seen us play in a long while. I honestly think that 3 decisions from the ref changed it:
1. Williams' high tackle on Westwood, ref says "up off the shoulder". Joke.
2. Briscoe disallowed try, use the video ref please?
3. Westwood penalised against the tackle on Thaiday, very harsh IMO.

Can take a lot of positives, just unfortunate that we couldn't get the win eventually.

Fantastic occassion for International RL.

Two different 'double movement' tries there. Both good tries, but that second one was a lot more 'momentum' though.

Good game from England, poor reffing in the second half - in fact for ten minutes of the second half - but that took it away from us

Bring on the Kiwis....

Thought he did alright, looks a right thicko though.

To be honest, we were crap.
Never seen a half back combo as pish poor as Sinfield and Chase, they couldnt corganise a up in a brewery between them, never mind creating and executing plays against the Aussies.

Sinfield, Roby, Wilkin, Yeaman, Brisoe, when the hell will we learn that these aren't good enough or mentally tough enough against the Aussies.

Westwood was the only one that stuck it to the Aussies.

Credit where credits due that was a tremendous performance by England, it should have been far closer had it not been for some very dubious refereeing decisions. I'am confident that we can beat the Kiwi's now and get another crack at the Aussies.

you certainly live upto your username, what a load of bull!!!!

I'm probably McNamara's biggest non-fan, but I do feel for him today.

Already short of Burgess, Shenton, O'Loughlin, loses Graham and Ellis during the game. Blatant sending-off offence for them overlooked, double movement for us that never was. You need some luck to win against Australia, certainly none forthcoming at the moment.

What, Bulls4champs?

Australia execute well, but we have nothing to fear, at all.

Cut out some mistakes, better execution at the other end and we can beat these.

your post! biggest load of cr@p written on this thread today

Yeah you do, but you've gotta take your chances too. Unfortunatly we didn't.

The bull part. How you can call Sinfield and Chase the worst HB pairing you've ever seen when you support Bradford and, presumably, saw Marc Herbert and Paul Sykes play as 6/7?

Didn't Chase & Sinners combine for the first Hall try.You know what you are going to get from Chase,he's either worth the gamble or he isn't.
