[QUOTE="mdmaDeKlerk, post: 970610, member: 81297"] Impressive from the English this morning, very clinical particularly in the last quarter but Australia, gracious me that was the worst that I can ever remember having seen them play. Sometimes a philosophy can get in the way of performing. I think it happened with Scotland this year and to an even greater extent with Australia. I mean bloody hell we all like watching running rugby but you don’t cut off your nose to spite your face. I hope that rugby union will survive this in Australia, they have been great competition over the decades but they simply have to start employing some structure. What is it with rugby nations having an aversion to structure? The All Blacks, who play fantastic rugby by the way, kick away any poor possession for territory rather than play themselves into a hole. It just makes no sense to me. Anyway congratulations to the English, you definitely did what you needed to but jee whiz you won’t have it so easy next week. Not to say you can’t win but that today was just crazy. [/QUOTE]
