What a great game that we could have won.
The loss of Ellis and Graham cost us, and showed why 2 props are needed on the bench. Peacock, Westwood and Morley stepped up to take the strain brilliantly though.
The high shot and the disallowed try probably cost us the match, but Briscoe should have gone in the corner instead of stepping inside.
Tomkins is pure class, the RFL should pawn the crown jewels to keep him in RL.
Chase is an enigma, great running at them but never a playmaker - that brainfart at the 20m tap let them in the game when we should have been creating field position.
Fantastic game live on the BBC played in front of a decent crowd.

Well beaten by probably the weakest Australian team for a long time. In the England team only Sam Tomkins is truly world class.

So if England do mission impossible and beat NZ and Aus in the final then excuses are there already to put England down.
Only in RL.

For some every generation is worse than the last, that will be the case in most sports.

There is less space on the park now due to fitness and structures but as the Cons have RL as 'the' sport, and RU is now fully pro, they will always be ahead and we will always have to take the opportunities as they arise.

We have a unity issue, caused by policy, and have a smaller pool to select from, also caused by policy, but intl sport is the pinnacle and we should have beat them yesterday.
