[QUOTE="Zed, post: 802794, member: 38503"] A hugely important win for England, but I don't think EJ and co would be slapping themselves on the back. I thought England were smarter than Australia and at times more clinical, but I thought overall they didn't play that great. Their defence in the outside backs was pretty ordinary the entire game, their kicking game wasn't that great, constantly kicking away possession to the one guy on the pitch who is guaranteed not to drop the ball, they didn't offer a great deal in attack and 2/3 of their tries came from our stupid mistakes. But they still put 39 points on us.. If they can sort out their defence and bring strike players like Watson into the game more often they are going to be hard to beat. One of things that did impressive me was how England never seemed flustered and always appeared in control, even when we had put two tries on them, they didn't panic and slowly, methodically worked themselves back into the game, whereas we were running around like headless chickens, running it from our 22, foregoing penalty kicks etc etc Clueless at times.
