[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 201204"] I disagree....I think that was the best the English forwards could do and that they actually had an edge on the All Blacks at ruck time. I think the AB's will be the ones getting better at scrums and rucks and ESPECAIALLY the lineouts. The English will only improve with their backs and if they have any sense WILL throw caution to the wind and trouble the AB's outwide. This will actually be good for the AB defence out wide as they need a bit of practice with their defensive patterns further out before the tri-nations begins. Watching the English warm up they really do have a solid pack...they just need to get that pack to reach their potential like 2003. I have a firm belief that eventually one day soon they will shine in the backs when they use those talented flair players in the midfield and the two black wingers out wide as well as a world class fullback (though the fullback idea may take a while). So next week expect a much better forward performance from the AB's and more attacking play from the English backs. [/QUOTE]
