Quote PAUL M="PAUL M"We have looked much better with Sinfield at dummy half, might be worth starting like that and have Burgess as the 13 for the next game and bring Roby off the bench. I would also start Eastmond ahead of Smith who has been poor.
Felt sorry for Tom, he did nothing wrong for those first half tries and did not deserved to be dropped. However we was a little workshy I felt.
It's okay saying we did well in the 2nd half but the game was already over and Australia eased off.'"
Agree with that. I think England's resurgence was more to do with Eastmond being on the field instead than Briscoe being off it. A few poor individual reads from Smith cost us too many points in the first half down that wing.
Personally I'd like to see Briscoe and Fox at centre and wing next week and Smith get dropped, but we all know that's not going to happen! Eastmond and Tomkins are a must at 7 and 6, McGuire to the bench to cover the halves.
