It's been very strange for me having to see Oz regularly beaten over the last ten years of so. I always think of them as a powerhouse of world rugby, I've seen them win multiple world cups, yet lately they seem to lose at least half their games every year. I used to treasure every win over Oz because they were so hard to beat and sometimes gave us absolute thrashings, but when Oz play England now, the games don't seem to be particularly close. In fact, I feel pretty confident we're going to win every time, and that feeling is just plain weird.
Aside from a few options needed at 8 and questions in a couple of spots about who's third choice, the pack is in great shape, but as you say, the backs just haven't clicked. There is plenty of talent there and they're all capable of excellent individual play, it just never seems to happen that they all play well in the same game. Instead we get stuff like the Ireland game where May has a stormer and that, coupled with the pack's play, is enough to offset the rest of the backs struggling and get the win.
