the game was a shambles.I really cannot wait to see the aussies rape the england backline,it really will be unmissable.Paul sykes really did ruin his england aspirations utter rubbish.

not all aussie rugby players are rapists, just a lot of them!!!!

Not disappointed at all me.
Thought the youngsters done really well, OK the last 20 mins were a given anyway.
But I see a future, and our new coach does also.
From little daffodils, etc. etc.

where do you see the future, two good forwards finishing in the next couple of years, morley and peacock, no depth in the pack for the young halfs to play behind. no centres, no full back, come to think weve not much at all realy. hope the aussies batter us

when Great Britain got smashed in Australia in the one off test a few years back that was sounded out as being the turning point in out international setup both for team selection and grass roots. Since then and if it's possible I think we've got even worse. Proof will be in the next month. I hope I'm wrong.

He was talking about Wales!

I also remember going to that game and nobody is going to convince me that the game is better today faster yes but in those days we had players with guile and skill most teams had decent stand offs scrum halves loose forwards centres and remember hookers
What a bloody mess the game is in I would struggle to name 5 half decent English players in the key positions as for centres we have none we have very few worldwide
I blame the Aussies they wanted a faster game we got it but lost the skill

For some of the "more mature" on here (old gits like me

)
Look at this backline from the GB team that toured Australia in 1962.

Gerry Round
Billy Boston
Eric Ashton
Neil Fox
Mick Sullivan
David Bolton
Alex Murphy

The standard of todays backs make you weep after watching those players.

The clue was in the daffodils.





OK it's a big Daisy.
