hardly a brave prediction!

It's not wishful imagination apart from the "few years ago" brain fart. It was actually pre-Super League - the 1995 World Cup Semi Final at Huddersfield. Australia won 30-20 after extra time. It finished 20-20 after 80 minutes. Matthew Ridge missed the conversion for the Kiwis by some distance but had a drop goal attempt to win the game which just narrowly went wide of the post.

I did not realise a "few" years ago was 16 years ago well before the Tri or Quad Nations concept.
Fair go though it happened some time back.
I was young then and have forgotten the match, that happens as time moves on and England are still waiting for their moment.
I should have remembered this, I worked with Turban head when he was the Manly Junior development officer back in the day.

1995? Jesus Christ!!

Certainly not the best game last night. good hit out for 2 clearly rusty sides though and both sides next games should be a lot better for it

England by 30 at least.

Agreed.

Against Wales, that is.

Though I expect 50.

If England don't put at least 30 past Wales it has to be seen as a failure

Could do, I hope not though.
