..Perhaps you should of brought over the 7 first team players you left at home and we probably would of played better(we only play to whats put in front of us
) and spanked you lot of Kiwi's by a BIGGER margin

Well done England!! You beat our second fifteen!!! Congratulations.
It was a great game, very worth getting up in the wee hours of the morning. I thought the highlights of the game were Doug Howlett's try (take that Jason Robinson) and that piece of individual brilliance from Wilkenson. The constant kicking of penalties and repdative game by England were a bit of a downer, and the irony of the English fans booing Merhtens when he chose to line the penalty up!!! HYPOCRITES! You guys proved worthy foes for our Juniors, bring on the World Cup, and don't worry we will be sure to bring Jonah

Some tackling practise needed - as my Dad has said since I've been a nipper... "A man can't run without his legs". Hit Lomu hard and low - he has too much upper body strength to go high on him.
First period of the second half, we were all over the Kiwi's like a cheap suit. Needed to keep on the gas though...

Chris - most of the England team don't have arms long enough to get round the freak's legs
He's awesome - but one man can't beat England - as was shown on Saturday

As you werent at the game you missed why Mehrtens kick was booed....It was as a response to the Kiwi fans booing Wilko earlier on, kicking at goal when there was only 2 points in it !!!!!!
Kiwis played some superb rugby, but you are going to have to shore your scrum up. Unfortunately there wasnt a single all-black scrum in the second half, the English pack had got the nudge on all of them.
The English team is not the one you will see come the world cup - Dallaglio will go, and Johnson/Grewcock may not last. Forrester will come in on the back row, and Chris Jones/Kay at lock. What we really need to sort out are the centres - we missed Greenwood's creativity after he went off. I'd prefer to see Robbo on the wing, with Stimpson (safety) or Dan Scarborough at Full back.
I'd still make the AB's favourites, mind. Lomu is a 1-off, but after watching him play in the S12, he was absolutely pathetic (backed up by John Mitchell who said that there was only 1 player who wasnt in the tour party on merit). He always manages to save his best for England.

England are no.1 in the test match ratings released yesterday!! I cannot bring myself to agree with that, so i'll just ignore it.
We got smashed by the England scrum, we were lucky not to get too many of them in the second half.
I think Robinson should be on the wing, he has the pace, but his kicking game is pretty ordinary, and he looks very awkward when he goes to kick the ball..
Lomu is a big game player, he just manages to step-up against certain teams, such as Australia and England, it is wierd but it just happens.
If the Brits can beat the Aussis on the weekend then they will earn their top spot.
I feel very sorry for Carlos Spencer, he got injured in the first half and was taken off, after waiting two years to get his spot in the team back, he played brilliantly in the first spell, it was a real blow for us when he left the field.
