Your right, the one that niggles, whinges and moans week in week out for Wigan hasn't shown up, the quality, let your rugby do the talking one does though. He's been outstanding.

Rangi Turnstyle Chase again

Is it me or have the rules changed since last week. Giving that try to Lawrence is nearly as bad as disallowing Briscoe's.

Many more positives than negatives for us today, awful decisions at crucial moments and the Aussies ruthless efficiency have cost us.
Can't wait for the Kiwis at the KC.

But he didn't go to the video ref for Briscoe's did he? Referee sadly lacking in experience.

Best I've seen us play in a long while. I honestly think that 3 decisions from the ref changed it:
1. Williams' high tackle on Westwood, ref says "up off the shoulder". Joke.
2. Briscoe disallowed try, use the video ref please?
3. Westwood penalised against the tackle on Thaiday, very harsh IMO.

Can take a lot of positives, just unfortunate that we couldn't get the win eventually.

Fantastic occassion for International RL.

Two different 'double movement' tries there. Both good tries, but that second one was a lot more 'momentum' though.

Good game from England, poor reffing in the second half - in fact for ten minutes of the second half - but that took it away from us



Bring on the Kiwis....

Thought he did alright, looks a right thicko though.

To be honest, we were crap.
Never seen a half back combo as pish poor as Sinfield and Chase, they couldnt corganise a up in a brewery between them, never mind creating and executing plays against the Aussies.

Sinfield, Roby, Wilkin, Yeaman, Brisoe, when the hell will we learn that these aren't good enough or mentally tough enough against the Aussies.

Westwood was the only one that stuck it to the Aussies.

Credit where credits due that was a tremendous performance by England, it should have been far closer had it not been for some very dubious refereeing decisions. I'am confident that we can beat the Kiwi's now and get another crack at the Aussies.

you certainly live upto your username, what a load of bull!!!!

I'm probably McNamara's biggest non-fan, but I do feel for him today.

Already short of Burgess, Shenton, O'Loughlin, loses Graham and Ellis during the game. Blatant sending-off offence for them overlooked, double movement for us that never was. You need some luck to win against Australia, certainly none forthcoming at the moment.

What, Bulls4champs?

Australia execute well, but we have nothing to fear, at all.

Cut out some mistakes, better execution at the other end and we can beat these.

your post! biggest load of cr@p written on this thread today

Yeah you do, but you've gotta take your chances too. Unfortunatly we didn't.

The bull part. How you can call Sinfield and Chase the worst HB pairing you've ever seen when you support Bradford and, presumably, saw Marc Herbert and Paul Sykes play as 6/7?

Didn't Chase & Sinners combine for the first Hall try.You know what you are going to get from Chase,he's either worth the gamble or he isn't.

If the usually metronomic Sinfield had brought his kicking game and the try hadn't been incorrectly disallowed we have scored 30 points against the Aussies. And that's with no Graham or Ellis for the second half and Peacock on one leg apparently.

Hardly crap.

Are you drunk?

I live upto my username of Bulls4champs?

WTF?

Cant agree with you.

Sinfield played well especially first half organised well and looked dangerous even as a running half at times.
Chase was good in parts, with broken field but made some massive errors and is still a liability in defence.
Briscoe did decent he makes errors but wouldnt say was awful.
Yeaman needs to step up for sure.
Wilkin was decent but the injurys to Peacock and Graham highlighted the need for an extra prop on the bench.

Westwood definatley matches up at test level although today at times he lost it and pushed it too much and cost us some crucial penaltys.

Solid display from a quality players. Chase will have learned a vital lesson because other than a couple of brain farts he did very well first half. Tomkins was complete class (Sam, you have no need to be a dickh^ad, just play rugby, you're very good at it). The forwards were tough - although I'd really have to ask what Heighington brings that we don't have better over here. Briscoe and Hall were both World class.

Referee should not be in charge of an international, his first decision where he clearly called held and the England players lifted and dragged the Aussie into touch - where he then awarded a scrum to England instead of a penalty to Australia rang huge alarm bells. Completely out of his depth.

One request I would make, can someone please put a bolt through the head of "Jiffy" and put him out of our misery. I think Noble wanted to deck him at half time and maybe he should have. What a f*****g misery. I know Wales lost but he can hardly have been that surprised and upset by it. What a complete ****.

Sinfield, Wilkin and Yeaman I agree with, but Roby is a good player at this level and Briscoe was much better than Uate.
