Burrow ran rings around us and Sinfields kicking game was probably the best I have seen. Even with our recent successes, I still feel that we don't have a very good kicking game!
Sinfield gets picked for England because he provides a kicking game and general sense of control in the middle of the field, not because he makes killer passes or breaks. The plan then is to augment him with a real gamebreaker type player - i.e. Chase. TBH its a real indictment on the quality of other British 'halfbacks' around that he gets picked at 6 on that basis.
I thought most of our pack were pretty impressive. JJB had a slight off day, but that is so out of character I'm prepared to overlook it.
Sinfield is anything but inconsistent, he is just rarely flash. He does the same job for England, it just depends whether you think that's the right job.
THought Sinfield summed it up pretty well after the game. We were trhe better side on Saturday and deserved our win (got some decidedly dodgy decisions along the way, but still deserved it), Wigan remain the best team in the league and we'll still have to improve to get the job done in October.
