I don't agree he was the only one, there was a few, apart from in the first half!
We shouldn't forget we got a 40 minute thumping but the second half was one to be proud of.

Yes, because the Aussies really played the game in the 2nd half

Where did I say they did???

They just needed to hold there position and not run out the line. A friend of mine last week told me Sam wasn`t good enough for england because of the way he runs out of the line a Leeds fan would you believe.

Tomkins and Eastmond for 6 & 7 is excellent and Crabtree was IMo our best forward.
No doubt, knowing Smith as we do, he'll drop the three of them for next week.
We could well beat the Kiwis next week if that 2nd half performance can be repeated. Then the following week would bring another England V Australia clash.
Of the players to day who shouldn't play McGuire and Roby and the two most vulnerable but Smith will probably stick with them.

You didn't, i'm just saying that people are getting carried away with our 2nd half

Was it not encouraging? They could have quit in the dressing room at half time, they didn't!

Again....I guess so.

My opinion of the game was that we lost it in the 1st half due to lack of forward power and played in the 2nd.

Sam might as well have sat with me the ball he got in the first half. If we want to play Sinfield at first man then give him the 7 jersey and play Westerman at 13. It looked as though Smith wanted to make him look biz.

Good, he deserves it the tit.

I love Billy

At one point in the 2nd half, that whole side was open right from the middle of the field out to the wing. That would be unnaceptable in my Lads team, and he plays at U8's!

If I'm being honest I can't stand the little $hit but he's a very good player and IMO is best yougster from this country since I 1st saw a young KC.

What I liked about him today and nearly everytime I've seen him is he plays with no fear and gets stuck in and very good in defence for a thin guy.

He was my England man of match today and it's pitty few other players couldn't play with the same attitude as Sam today.

I think few years down the line tomkins and eastmond would give the convicts something to think about at 6 and 7.
