[QUOTE="Nubiwan, post: 804737, member: 43441"] Good points and winning is everything. I just wish England could show a bit more enterprise than they do. Australia were parked on their door for most of the 2nd half. Defence was superb, but it was difficult to watch. The pitch, for a rugby match, was ridiculous. Perhaps I will watch it again in the comfort of knowing the result. See if I feel any different. Somehow think I will feel the same about all the ball we kicked away, when running just a few phases might have been an option. if Australia went out and battered England in the last test, then one might be forgiven for thinking they were unlucky in the 2nd test, and found their feet in the 3rd. Bit like the lions last tour to SA, but one might largely blame the boks for showing little interest with the series wrapped up. even with extensive team changes, you have to hope England sweep the series, or at least make a close contest of the last test. Spending another 40 minutes on their own door step, without the same defensive intensity, or a resounding defeat, would be telling in my opinion. Australia have the upper hand knowing they simply need to convert posession, like England did, to be fair, whereas England need to stay ultra focussed. Looking forward to it. Some of the hitting has been superb. [/QUOTE]
