La composition de l'Angleterre contre l'Australie

Ford's skills under pressure let him down. We all saw him miss what was supposedly meant to be an easy kick (45m on the angle 15m in isn’t easy imo). Choke number 1.

And again, ENG's skills under pressure let them down when the ABs dominated the scrum & ruck on D, never allowing ENG to settle. Ford misses again. Choke number 2.

To be fair, RP didn't say the ABs "relied on luck". He's not that silly. The phrase he used was "a little bit lucky to escape". As a generic statement, maybe so. Pundits always ascribe an element of luck to a 1pt or 2pt loss.

Ford back in when Fin Smith deserves a place . So he still persists with a conservative player come the final plays.

Borthwick has failed to support his team and shut out the game . Keep Smith on unless he is having a stinker.

We will all see if borethwick has learned anything from last weekend .

NZ whinged about the Irish series, The RWC final. The 1995 final. THe 2007 quarter final etc etc.

I know ye whinged about England beating you in 2003. You are arrogant and bad losers.

You really are.
