It was like there was two of him on the pitch, he was invloved in everything. Graham also was immense, and Ryan Hall is rapidly becoming one of my favourite players, he never puts a foot wrong.

I hope he does the same next week.

Thought England were good but New Zealand were pretty poor.
Widdop seems a wasted bench option as I don't think McNamara really knows how he wants to use him. Will be interesting to see who Ellis will come in for if he is fit next week.

i dont know how he does it.... he goes looking for the tackle all the time... he proper loves a good physical game...

when he is on his game he is great to watch.... you spend half the game saying 'what a tackle'.... i thought he was exceptional tonight.

just got back in - sinfield was a well desreved man of the match he directed the team well and place kicking was inpeccable. great all round team effort though - one or two posters on here have made themselves look very foolish tonight

the crowd in the stadium were great too. really got behind the team and were very positive (again some posters on here take note)

Heighington or Wilkin?

Aside from the offload I thought Carvell had a good game and his extra size could be handy in the final

I would expect Wilkin will drop to the bench with Carvell missing out.

I'm really struggling to see what Heighington brings to the team. Is it just me?

Ellis should replace Wilkin.I really dont know what mcbanana sees in him.

Based on his recent selections you may be right, but we thrived today with the extra prop, so I don't think he should change it.

This. All the other forwards made a dent into the NZ line tonight, apart from Wilkin. Just not good enough at International level for me.

He's solid but not amazing. Am I right in thinking he's really a 2nd row playing at loose?

yeah i agree its such a waste having wilkin in the team.Doesnt punch holes in the defence, doesnt make any yards. loses collision always.and for some strange reason kicks downfield on some occasions.Not international class at all.
