[QUOTE="Yoshimitsu, post: 804246, member: 71899"] [b]We might have had more possession.....[/b] On a pitch that allowed scrummages to be completed. That ground was an absolute disgrace and not fit for a test match. We also learned that by "illegal" I think Dwyer might mean "being better and stronger and pushing". Cole hasn't dominated many opponents in recent memory but Slipper was in a terrible state from the first contest. Great game and great heart from England. I suspect 8/10 times we'd lose that game. Whilst accepting Aussie frailties and some of that caused by defensive pressure on another day a couple of those passes stick and they score. Annoyingly I'm running out of reasons to hate Ford / Farrell combo. The former still cedes too much ground in the tackle to make me happy but the back row have it covered and Farrell is competent at 12 and a world class kicker. Considering how weak we looked in the world cup our fitness levels are pretty awesome. Someone is doing something right. [/QUOTE]
