Can't believe Smith has taken Briscoe off and left Smith on. Smith has been at fault for all their tries, leaving Tom stranded on his own. Shocking decision by TS.

why are we suprised ,we build them up every year for the same to happen. we were not good enough as GB never mind england
fact is we will never progress at international level until the number of overseas is reduced to 1 and all the odd rules in ways around that are removed, thne it will take 5 to 6 years are bringing on young players to get a stock of players good enough to play at this level

the come back is on! we couldnt possibly put a worse 40 mins of rugby in though.

Anyone else thinking Richard lewis had a word with his aussie counterpart asking them to ease off so the International RL and this tournament has a shred of credibility?

who the hell are the 17 new people in the england shirts?

**** off McGuire.

Why did Ganson go to the screen he was 4 foot away.

Is McGuire really that fecking useless!

Yeahh, we're not gonna get nilled!

Until the RFL and the fans start taking the international game seriously we'll always struggle.

Spot on. The domestic games rules the roost.

I wish Dave Woods wasn't so camp.

True, but NZ are also way ahead of England as well.

I don't think anyone could really have any arguments about the England side on paper. As has been said, this is the best we've got, sadly. McGuire's getting some hammer for his defence - well I'm sorry to break this to you, but if we chose our Stand offs for their defensive skills, then we'd be back to the days of David Waite and the team full of Loose Forwards - and remember how we all felt about that

People blaming individuals are jealous/opposition fans trying to score points. Its the system thats sh*t.

Dave Woods "The Aussies are rattled"

I know right.

No.

Can't play to best for 80 mins and game is already over.

HOW DID GANSON MISS THAT HAYNE KNOCK ON! haha.

Feel a bit sorry for briscoe. Smith is woeful but not his fault centre options are that bad!

He called Sam Burgess a fine fellow. Isn't that RLFANS.COM swear filter speak for wa[in[/iker?

I'm not really a beleiver in the conspiricy that T Smith picks his mates and players from his own club. The decision to remove T Briscoe and therefore suggest he's been to blame for the defence on that side is laughable.

Morley should've retired from Test Rugby 2 years ago.

Please take McGuire off!!!! FFS you fecking sh[ii[/it...!

I agree - Why isnt Mcguire off? Out of position in defence and his passing is awfull.

The sad thing is that the Aussies hadn't even had a warm up game before they played the Kiwis. Our back still play like it's their first game together. Our players have no competitive experience throughout the season pf playing with players from other teams. The Aussies have competitive test matches against NZ and, of course, State Of Origin. As far as the Aussies are concerned, SOO is the peak of the sport. International RL is a joke. The Aussies only turn up because they have to...

Bit more enterprise now we're on the scoreboard - pity about the first half.

The passing to Eastmond has been atrocious.

Try?
