I thought the defence of both centres was poor as they both got caught out hips facing inwards when they should have been hips facing forwards. The quality of decision making by Lockyer and Thurston made our centres defence look awful. NZ have a quality decision makers too so looks like same as this week for next week. I'm not sure about reed but its a common error on yeamans part. who to replace him with is another matter as i dont believe he'll get ommitted as the next game is at KC. Chase defending next to Yeaman didnt help and NZ will defo look to pick on them two just as Aus did. Again i dont believe he'll be ommitted either cos if macnamara had another half back in squad he believed in Sinfield would not be playing there.

Atkins asked to be omitted from the 4 nations for personal reasons.

well that clears that up i thought it was a bit strange him not been picked

Maybe not a superstar just yet but I have been very impressed with him, looks a good team player who can also produce a bit of magic from nowhere.

I agree with that, looks a good lad who appears to go under the radar then deliver the goods from nowhere

Agree - he's a big lad to be getting under the radar though. If he carries on growing he'll be at prop on his own
