Was one of the biggest factors that struck me last night.
How much more physically dominant they were in the collision from 1 to 17.
Time and again our players would flap of the tackles, or be left prone on the floor looking injured after a collision, or be totally dominated when taking the ball up and then slow to play the ball.
This gave their playmakers the platform to do what they did.
They have much better genetics for playing the game of rugby league.

And they import in a lot of Pacific Islanders, who are mostly massive without even trying, and call them Australian, plus the Fiji flyer of course. I think we should do it ourselves. Just import a load of Pacific Islanders, hang around for three years, and play them all as English. We'd beat the Aussies to a pulp.
Well, until the last 20 minutes anyway!
