[QUOTE="Fa'atau82, post: 201036"] England have a lot of players who can do the job, but who are run of the mill at the moment and lack some quality and experience at test level and i think this is a 'decent' result for a team who are clearly in transition. It could have been much worse and a total annihilation, but as has been said we showed promise and potential but looked lacking on the experience to use it. Certain players need to be tested like Hodgson, Narraway and Brown to see what exactly they can offer England ahead if the usuals. Hodgson is just not an international fly-half.. you can't have streaky players like him and wait for him to get hot, because it doesn't happen enough. Obviously there are names missing from this tour and i think certain players like Cipriani will make this team better. Certain areas are very weak as we can see. We are plugging the gaps, but you can't do that forever. This tour will make or break some players test careers i suspect. Credit to Ojo for his two tries. Not a bad debut against possibly the toughest team on reputation in world rugby. [/QUOTE]
