Weather is forecast to be extremely wet and windy all weekend. Heavy pitch my help keep the score down. If it turns into a forward battle all game we may keep close.
if we keep the game tight play well and muscle up down the middle and when defending swap the second rowers for the centres for a bit of strength owt wide i dont see it being to embarrassing
Give me some of what you are taking. Gimme' gimme' now.
at the end of the day we all know macnamara has a poor knowledge of players hes proved that by naming cudjoe infront of gleeson or even lee smith people write of our chances far too early like the n.z game we managed to get in the game and looked more threatening in the 2nd half if we start fast out the block and the players out ther wear the shirt with pride and knock the aussies around abit i cant see why we can get a win robinson looked lethal every time he got the ball last week we need to smash there half backs early on make them not want to know and play whats in front of you and not set plays..... i honestly think i should be the next england coach

McBanana, he does n't have a clue. Cudjoe and Atkins in centre's will get annihilated, if he's not happy with Brown at SO then he'd be a better bet at centre. can't see O'Loughlin being a major strike force and will be missed in pack.

If Australia let that team score, they should consider it a defeat. Embarrassing back line, playing on the world stage. Shocker.
The last time we played Australia in Melbourne (2008), we had a back three of Wellens, Gardner and Calderwood... this time round we have Tomkins, Briscoe and Goulding
The 2010 back three are so much better than 2008 it is untrue – Wellens is a good player who I have always liked but Tomkins is a much better attacking option in international League while the wingers are much stronger and far better defenders than 2008
The centres are probably weaker, but I don’t remember Senior and Gleeson tearing Australia to pieces over the years – there is no denying Cudjoe is a talented player who could shine in international rugby
It is fashionable to criticise the English backs as ‘worst ever’ but when you look at the facts it is not so obvious
This is an English backline with an average age of 22 so do we expect them to be world beaters today? For me, there is some real talent there (particularly Tomkins, Briscoe and Cudjoe)
