Internationally? Or to club level?!
Caulfield, Butler and Earle look like decent club players.
Stripped of their best players, this England side is fairly average. Gonna be a hammering by the look of it.
Prem level. (I mean Mercer is a given anyway).

Got to say that the England team seems very flat, emotionally....
Malins is a wizard has amazing awareness.
Decent, that
Farrell

Yeah, the good players from this squad are very, very good.
Curry's, Cokanasiga, Malins, Aspland-Robinson, Mercer, Isiekwe, Maunder (Underhill??).

Clinging on with the very tips of our fingernails
Our back look very nervy in defence.
Yeah that tackle from our 15 was textbook "I don't really want to tackle the big lad" half hearted attempt

Aumua might be my new favorite player.
Umaga is pretty rubbish, can see why Tigers didn't want to pay him senior wages in the academy and were happy to let him leave.

There is a defence coach and clearly they aren't doing their job, there is no structure to England's defence at all. Hell in the last try they just left an 8m gap in the middle of the field for the Kiwi to run right through...
See I would of liked to keep him. But the hype got to him and his agent IMO.
I mean it's nowhere near losing Ford (which was suggested by one person).
A Defence coach can't teach you bottle and for me some of these players are lacking bottle currently they just look like they don't want to make the hit if they can help it.

Definitely a combo of an unusually small England side, and an unusually jacked Kiwi side.
Yeh last years under 20 v this NZ U20 team would be a cracking game.
I mean the curry brothers being in would help with the breakdown and defence but Would still be destroying us wider.
