[QUOTE="fcukernaut, post: 149524"] Yeah but you have to take this game with a grain of salt. The canadian side is pretty good, holding back the All Blacks from routing them a while back, and then there was Wales; and an Aus second string team, playing absolutely awfully, managed to get 30 points on them. It was a shocking game, but the English side has not managed to get such a point margin on teams like U.S.A (which is also coming up, not to offend any yanks) playing their first XV (minus Wilkinson). All major teams have had a big slump in their last game, SA v Tonga was not inspiring, neither was AB's v Scotland 2nd XV and this was just the same. [/b][/quote] Yeah that Canadian outfit is pretty good defensively, but they were missing their first string center pairing and I think that became apparent the way they were shreded by Tuquiri time and again. To be fair, Australia made it fairly easy on Canada. They lacked direction from the first-five position. But I understand why Barnes wasn't in the game. Also, I will add, that it is completely unacceptable for England not to thrash the USA. Because and understrength Canadian team put 50 on them...twice. [/QUOTE]
