I would not consider dropping either of them on one performance but MORLEY is not the same international player that he was and we saw that last season as well as this. Hi is not as menacing as he previously was
MORLEY was a great player and now after this series would be a good time to hang up his international boots.
Peacock again a great player but did not seem as effective in the second row. He is another player who i think needs to pick up or consider international retirement.
I found it sad that both of them seemed to go AWOL against Australia when other forwards did not.
maybe they have a psychological block after being hammered by Australia over the years i dont know. I do think that we need a clear out of all those who have failed so many times and bring in players with no fear . That is why it was great seeing Tompkins playing . No fear and just trying to be different.
I would be looking to build a team now for the 2013 World Cup. Every international before then should be about blooding and developing players who can give us a chance of being competitive and winning the WC.
We cannot afford the WC in England to fail. It is a great opportunity for the game here we ned to make sure we are ready to seize it.
