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.

Sadly Lee Smith appears untouchable! I hope he apologises to Tom for that first half showing.

I agree about Eastmond starting as well. Thought Burgess, Crabtree, Ellis, S. Briscoe and Tomkins all did well.

That 2nd half will probably bring a false sense of how good we are IMO.

Always the case.....they can stick international rugby up thier Ar$es for me.....sooner have club rugby.

What do you base that on about S Briscoe? Thought he had a pretty solid game today, would have liked to see him supporting a bit more but apart from that we did pretty well.

Agree about Eastmond though, he should start instead of smith with Tommy next week.

Thats it though...he is solid,thats it,doesnt make a lot of yards returning the ball...unlike the likes of Slater,Webb,Greenshields.

So who does?

Who English F/Backs?

Yep, whom? Briscoe would be my 1st choice, struggling to think who could do a better job. Let's see how Tansey can do

Lee Smith

Tansey

Think Eastmond has to play in the halves myself instead of that prick McGuire

Definatley, had some good spurts but not good enough today. Eastmond looks promising when he has the ball in hand.

Sums it up well Karl.

Bet your lass is pleased.....

I'll say it then. Our captain Peacock was atrocious. Worst forward on the field.
