| I was privelidged to be there to see Lockyers last game and kick  Gutted about the result but you can not argue about who were the better team irrespective of the odd dubious decision (back to the drawing board again... I must have said that for around 30 years every time we play the Aussies  ) |

Sorry, are you actually English?'"
through and through mate but I can appreciate a good side
having been following the lad now for the last 5 years in junior rugby I can see that the problem lies beneath the professional game in the youth.
the quality is just not there in volume
believe me it hurt to lose again |

Turns out I've got kidney stones, not sure what is the most painful, the kidney stones or the defeat. £40 for the ticket and saw sweet FA. ![]()
so that's why we was late getting into the ground, only just made it for the first pint 
hope your ok bud rest up and see you soon

Get well soon - FWIW the last 20 minutes of the game left me feeling pretty sick, but I wouldn't swap!
On the bright side, the Aussies were only better than us in four areas - they were faster, stronger, sharper and (crucially) much much more intelligent. You have to question whether the emphasis in our game is weighted towards fitness too early instead of skills and tactics. Whenever an Aussie looked for an off-load, there was someone available. On too many occasions the same wasn't true for England. When the Aussie backs ran the ball, passes went perfectly to hand so that they could be run onto without breaking stride. When England passed, the receiver too often had to bend/jump/slow down or even stop to catch it.
The Aussies, quite simply, looked as though they were born running with a ball in their hand and, although it pains me to say this, they were an absolute joy to behold!

Further to that, apart from a 10-15 minute spell when England put them under decent pressure, they spent most of the game cruising; they always looked like they had extra gears but didn't really need them. |
