Quote ="Terry Monster"I'm not saying he wasn't a good player for GB, I'm just saying that the ball handling loose is not the type we need for the test matches.
Sinfield started the game at 13, he played about 40 mins and he had a shocker and was consequently dropped for the final test. S O'L was far superior to Sinfield in the second Test at LF, I don't see how it's strange at all.'"
A lot of this is due to our lack of quality in the halves, the Aussies have several options who can all control and organise a test match, which means they don't need a ball playing loose forward. They can have another ball carrier/defensive workhorse, without expecting a back-row to be particularly creative or organise things.
