Congratulations England

[beast 1,884]

Brilliant display to beat Australia for the 4th time on the spin, and take their unbeaten run to 14 games. Admittedly the Aussies are not a fantastic team and need to find some finishers from somewhere (they only scraped past France, who are a disgrace to their once proud heritage) but I think this England team still hasn't totally clicked yet, and there is masses of potential to improve.

 

Ireland look in great shape too, Scotland have played as well as their limited resources will allow, and showed a lot of spirit, but I am a bit worried for Wales....this time last year they looked probably the best of the home nations, but now they look very fragile (scraped past japan and Argentina, beat the worst S African side in living memory, and hammered by an average Aussie team)

 

What do you lads reckon? am I way off?

Nope. About sums it up. Players complaisant, think all they have to do is turn up. Scarlets team, the academy and journey men are keeping the internationals out of the side. We all hear it's a transitional period, bollocks they have coached the rugby out of the players and are now telling them to go and play heads up rugby. It will just not work. If the players cannot or will not adapt then get some one new in. Pick the form players that can play the type of rugby they want.

no fair comment mate England, are playing well, and got some great players coming through deff, yes not the finished article yet, looking good though . only the all blacks at moment who would worry us, but the the best in the world, they showed that to ireland with that 2nd game they played

Well done England, never really been a rugby fan and it has not been very popular here for the last fifteen years or so. England are the only team that can stop the all blacks atm and it would be good to see a changing of the guard. If Australia can't stop them, as much as I love nz and respect the all blacks I don't want them to win everything! Fair play to Eddie Jones too a good man and fantastic coach.

England are pushing strong for the no 1 slot.....New Zealand are profession foulers and whingers, get away with murders just because they're the All Blacks, Ireland would have gave them a good go in the second test, except the targeted our playmakers with cynical play.....they wants a belt of hurl....no respect for them anymore....

Scotland are still diabolical.

I do agree with you they do play deep in the grey area of the rules especially Mccaw who infuriates me. But I don't blame him, it works for them. I do wish the officials would crack down a bit though.

Congratulations !! What for?

Finally playing to their potential, you should be saying about fckin time not congratulations LOL.

Ireland are playing well and if they can keep a settled team, they'll take some stopping too.

Scotland have improved of late but they're going through a coaching change again with Townsend coming in, it'll be nice to see Scotland challenging in the 6 nations again.

Tiercel hit the nail on the head with us.

It's great to be proud of your country, but I think the Doris on tv today who referred to the "Welsh and Irish Lions" might be taking it a bit far.
