Good night Vienna. Australia doing what they do best, England stumbling from woeful to poor. We've got two years to get it right but do we have the players to do it?

That's just it, Sinfield is the only player in the England team who can give direction and a purpose, everything revolves around him. Unfortunately that makes it so easy to defend against, whereas Australia have possibly 4 pivots on the field with Lockyer, Thurston, Smith and Cronk guiding the team. We need at least another player with a kicking game who can guide the team around the field.
Rule 1. I am always right. Rule 2. If in any case I appear wrong, refer to rule 1.

and whilst this is a very good Aussie team, we have faced much better historically and had we played to our potential surely this would have been closer.

I think Yeaman's made some decent tackles in defence, he's not International quality but to question him over players like Chase. Wilkin is an idiot with the ball at times too, instead of sending it out wide he always cuts inside.
