Great game.



Er.....

Indeed, very tedious

Some comical introductions by Tony Smith tonight but I suppose its best to get them out of the way before next week. However the French have been the better side and the four nations will only prove if they are the better side.



One though worries me - who would Tony Smith pick if it wasn’t for Lee Smith still around?

Total and utter gash, I sometimes wonder what the hell they work on in training camps because it certainly aint anything to do with putting a game plan on the park!!

To be fair you knew it was all going to go wrong when they cant even get the anthems right and the referee doesnt even know who's supposed to be kicking off

The Leeds United football game doesn't seem so bad now.



Still....the Aussies will really be tting themselves.

Mexican Wave - says it all.

In sean longs book he talks about how in the 06 tri nations they didn't even discuss gameplan or do any ball work until the day of the game!!!!



That just gives you an insight into how poor the international prep can be.

just shows how good keef is when you see shenton out there

Have to say I thought that when watching the game. His presence was severly missed.



I'm still staggered by Burrows omission from the squad. I know it can't happen this series but has TS' as England manager' ever started with the Sinfield, Burrow and Maguire combination that works so well for Leeds?

My memory of games isn't great, but I can't recall it happening.



At least the team hasn't peaked yet!

Speaking of the ref, was he on some kind of satellite feed from "down under"? There seemed to be a 2 second delay for all his decisions.

FGB was my man of the match
