[QUOTE="Saints1, post: 601431, member: 12575"] I am very sure Roby was being rested because he was on empty - he was injured a lot last season (for the first time in his career really) and still won't be match fit. It wouldn't have been the end of the world if Burrow was in reserve but the esteemed coach decided he knows best. Personally I think that England are so vulnerable in the 3/4s that Australia look to exploit it every time we play them. Inglis and Tate tear our centres to shreds, they're as big as our prop forwards and as quick as our wingers! Australia are beatable, but not by England I don't think. Definitely by New Zealand but I just think Australia are better than England and that will remain the same for a long time to come. Good effort today and I was expecting a bigger loss - but there's that significant gulf in quality that overrides all other concerns. [/QUOTE]
