Quote ="knocker norton"It is a chance to play together as a team I agree but we really need to play against a side that will push us all the way. Our downfall is always the intensity when we play against the Aussies and invariably we fall away later in the game.
I personally would like to see England play against an Anzac team of players over here in Super League from both Oz and NZ, I think this would give Steve McNamara the chance to see how we play under some real pressure.
Nothing against the French and they do need to be involved in Internationals as often as possible but what chance that we run away with the game and win by 40-50 points? Not sure who benefits from that type of game.'"
agreed it would be nice to play tougher opponents. do we need to get our players fitter to last the full 80min like the aussies?
