[QUOTE="j-dawg, post: 972119, member: 41107"] Slade was very leaky in defence last week and there was genuine cause for concern until it became obvious that England had too much for the Wallabies. A Farrell, Manu, JJ midfield is exciting but equally a Ford, Farrell, Manu looks good in a different way. This is probably the only time in recent history that I can remember England being relatively close to par with the all blacks with a fixture coming up (note: CLOSE to - its always competitive) - and now that that is the case we all seem to have abandoned our classic English arrogance and so, to bringeth the balance, I'm going to provide some arrogant soundbites to cling on to for the next five days and hope that everyone will join me; - Aussies smashed this all blacks side not long ago and we beat the Aussies - therefore we are the better team and people - Yeah New Zealand smashed Ireland but who hasn't these days? - The Haka gives an unfair advantage - Richie Mccaw is a cheat - 2003 - Wilkinson is the highest rated player on EA rugby 08 - Courtney Lawes wasn't offside so technically we won. Eddie Jones 1 - Steve Hansen 0. You're welcome. [/QUOTE]
