[QUOTE="Leonormous Boozer, post: 984103, member: 45598"] See, this is where I think people are going wrong. Yes it was an exceptional performance, nearly flawless but to support the narrative of how great peak England were it's just accepted they were lousy the week after when a team with a day's less rest and one more game under their belt had an even more convincing win over them than they had against NZ and ignores that NZ didn't exactly fore against them. It also ignores that Wales at their best strangled England out of the game. England are very, very good but last year there were definitely two, and probably three other teams of you include NZ that could match their best, if you go back 12 months further you can add Ireland. Ultimately I think that England are being slightly overvalued on account of their style of play. And more importantly I don't think it matters to this conversation because I doubt anyone hits peak performance in the next 12 months, let alone three. [/QUOTE]
