So England were behind by 10 points and Wilkinson goes for a drop goal? I know alot of people love Wilkinson's dropped goals, but I for one think he usually wastes good ball available to attack with! Anyone else think he attampts too many without at least first trying to score a try? I know he get's the majority of them, but 7 points is better than 3.

People are now wakening up to the fact that I have been on about for years. Wilkinson is the most over rated rugby player I have ever seen (in either code)
The "kicking donkey" he's slower than a tax rebate.
How many tries has he actually scored at club or International level. Great goalkicker yes, but a distinctly average Rugby player.

Ha, brilliant. England lose to Australia....Ireland Draw and Scotland Win so England should be favourites.
He certainly is a great one.

If you cut out all the crap about winning the 6N/becoming the greatest team in the world, he's pretty much the nail on the head saying we need to rethink the coaching staff to get any better

Speaking of Lawrence Dallaglio. Shopping the other day in Tesco's I noticed some pasta sauce with Dallaglio's name on it. Yes he's now got his own line of food products............ sigh.

Just saw the game today, as I knew the result I wasn't that interested. NZ played some good rugby, congrats to Carter for breaking the record. I think scoring a 1000 points is the next achievement. England was very close to scoring their try in the second hald, but the AB defence was soo tight.
Nice game.
Nice game.

Those stats tend to back up what i've thought since johnson took over
england are TRYING to play rugby in the same manner as south africa the difference being that south africa have better players in the key positions to play yhis way
scrum half
second row
full back
but only one pass from tour centres is asking for trouble

Erinle and Hipkiss was never that good as a combination at leicester. too similar really. i know we did well at the end of last season, with those two together but the penetration of our backs was less once we lost a proper inside centre. that's what england need.
