[QUOTE="goodNumber10, post: 651426, member: 71068"] Obviously i'm not happy with the loss but i think there were some massive positives in that game for England: Three good Try's (i don't care about discussing the TMO decision), i said before the game the important thing here is England show the ability to score trys - and they scored three well worked trys. Mike Catt and Andy Farrell have got our backs playing better than any England team since 2002, they play with a lot of positivity and right on the tackle line - yes some of our 1 on 1, and 2vs1 execution is poor but that will be worked on in the next cycle. I think we know we now have depth - it's a different thing to go to NZ for a 3 test series than playign them at home - it's not really in our DNA, we haven't really grown up on test series, so it's important that England came away with consistent performances over this series. Bar 20 minutes they've have done that so far and importantly we're all left knowing they can and will improve. Set piece is solid, even shorne of front line players, and scrum is still a weapon for us - can you imagine Corbisiero against that front row?fingers crossed he can maintain some fitness over the next 15 months or so.
