Disappointing performance from England, disappointing attendance compared to the game against the Kiwis last year.
Only positive I could find was it took a fraction of the time it takes me to get home from Ealing!
Any Broncos official presence at Stratford? Saw the Skolars ball boys and the guy outside handing out flyers.

Poor performance, outplayed in every aspect of the game. i saw the Skolars, didnt see anything of the Broncos, which was a shame

Great stadium, attendance was disappointing

Sadly I felt we have gone backwards, we seemed to have no real heart, and personally if I had a coach who also looks as miserable not sure I would be inspired, I know that Bennett has such a great track record, but that does not mean he will always have it, he seemed stubborn with his Aussie based players, and I could not work out why the last game's Man of the Match George Williams was left on the bench until the 60th minute, missing getting the ball into touch from penalties is school boy errors. I would like to see someone like Daryl Powell given a chance, someone who sees players week in week out and has enthusiasm in his belly.

Makes no difference who coaches. Playersare not good enough

Bit like England football team

I think that the outcome was what we all expected.

Don't agree with you fully on that rugbyman, the big difference in the teams and it's the same with England Wendy ball, is mind set. They don't believe they can win, spookily they don't win. England have some quality players who bottle it when it comes to the crunch.
Missing kicks to touch nothing to do with ability it's down to ability or not in handling the pressure
