[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 598775, member: 20605"] [I]"One swallow does not a summer make"[/I] - Aristotle (circa 370 DC) Not even using a tired All Blacks team as an excuse, the fact that England chucked it around a bit and won against them at Twickenham, does not bury any stereotypes. When they do it consistently, from match to match, home and away, perhaps winning the Six Nations in a canter, and scoring 3 to 4 tries per match, then they will have something to talk about. However, the fact that they did what they did shows that the talent is there, and that they [U][I]are[/I][/U] capable of playing that way and at that level, but they weren't under any real pressure that day. The real test will come when they are under real pressure, and still run the ball to win. [/QUOTE]
