Great game and good atmosphere at Twickers. BaaBaas were the better team and it's good to see them play so well.
England lost because we lack intensity in our defense, especially in midfield, couldn't cope with the BaaBaas on the counter attack and didn't capitalise on enough chances. Maybe we were unlucky a bit, a few times the ball popped up to a forward when if I back had been there a try would have been very likely.
I completely agree with Rats and Peat on the coaching. In his last five games in charge of the Saxons/England XV JC has managed to make a team play considerably worse than the sun of it's parts. All of the problems we had today were the same ones that made the Saxons look so point back in February. I hope we get a new Saxons coach before next season, because at the moment it's a bit of a farce.
Player wise I though Patterson and Wallace we're stand out forwards. Slade bossed the game like a real pro at times and he and Hill both tackled and passed well, future England 10-12 maybe? daly was our best back IMO despite being exposed defensively through a combo of a few errors on his part and Roko's bad positioning. I agree with Peat that he had to be involved with the full England set up as much as possible. He versatility and real talent for attacking rugby is badly needed if we're serious about reaching the real top of the international game.
