[QUOTE="spartan32, post: 1218524, member: 72322"] Very sweet of you to put England alongside our SH counterparts. Or maybe you’ve been huffing paint. SH teams (well maybe not Oz so much anymore) have players capable of that kind of utility at international level. They also have high quality and battle tested coaches and staff and have a record of winning consistently. England have none of these things. We are only just about getting back on our feet and starting to understand what winning feels like again. With a championship in the balance it doesn’t seem like the best time to throw up a Hail Mary when we don’t have to. We ain’t NZ or SA, and we’ve got a long road ahead before we can start playing anything like them. I hope the madness pays off. I hope the lads manage to find a way to make it work, and against a really poor Welsh side we may just about blag it. But you know the Welsh are going to have that extra bit of fire in their belly for this one. At home to England with a chance to spoil our party and regain some honour. They’re going to make it hard for us, and we may have just gone and made it hard for ourselves. [/QUOTE]
