In the England - France game i cant recall one big hit, compared to last nite where every tackle was bone crunching even the winger on winger tackling. The England pack have really got to stand up and be counted and show the same aggression and passion as there opponents, but its easier said than done. What surprised me as well about last nights game is that the game only flared up once, unbelievable really after the amount of big hits and rough tackles that were going in. All i can see England doing is getting one big hit and someone like Peacock will start throwing a couple because he wont like the challenge and get sin- binned.

One of the best performances from an English team in recent years was Leeds against Melbourne. Leeds' forwards flew into the ockers like scousers into the dole queue, JJB in particular was brutal and aggressive and was battering them all over the park.
If we can replicate that aggression and passion on Saturday at least we'll lose looking a bit more up for it. The Aussies are beatable - NZ showed that last night by running good angles and taking them on - looking for a big hit on every forward drive, and getting in their faces.
Peacock, Morley, Burgess, Graham - this is your chance to live up to your names.

Well theres a good question, how come JJB or even Diskin didnt get anywhere near the squad, after Leeds's season i thought they would have been definates.

NRL expansion? Sometime soon, maybe......:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_9857.jpg |

| Someone should tell Gallen it's not a good idea to rattle the NZ pack cage!
TBH a fight on about 20mins and 60mins would be great for us! Our forwards need to take it to the soft Aussie pack and a bit of biff might just get them up a notch.

Was that when they got out to the lead, or when they fought back and got the draw?

I think it was when the kiwis were showing that they can score more tries than the aussies.

2538.png [quote="Doogal McQuire.":2tzw9wtk]The perception with everyone from outside the Rugby League Community is that Wigan are still the biggest name in British rugby league.
