Good luck to the GB Lions in the first test against New Zealand tomorrow morning, and best wishes to England v South Africa in the cup final in Japan.
Maybe we are spoilt, we expect our players to be able to run with the ball, pass the ball, catch the ball, follow the player with the ball and score tries. Not win the match with kicking penalties.I watched the last 15 minutes. I appear to have missed all the turgid scrum, kick, pile on, penalty malarkey and got to see the only two bits of skill in the entire 80 minutes. The last try was laughable - who was that lumbering fool in the white shirt who barely jogged in the general direction of the scorer? It was the world cup final FFS - you dive and make every effort to stop him!
Even when chasing the game, England had no fluency and showed no signs of creativity - it appears they are conditioned to that style of uninspiring rugby and can only score in threes - not much use when you are 20 down in the biggest game of your life.
