Looks like England will be without a few key players when they play South Africa in their first game in two weeks time.

Any thoughts on the series to come?....Cool

    Yes irrespective of who is the ultimate winner, there will be no violence among the spectators, the supporters of each side wont have to be separated like cattle into pens and there will be great cameraderie.

    Rugby attracts a better class of spectator.

    England 4 NZ 6 at half time! England have started well but dropped off in last 15 mins. Let's hope for a resurgence in the second half!

    Ah, well, wasn't to beSad. Difficult now to lift 4 Nations trophy. Battle lost but war to be won. Just have to win the other two games and hope points difference goes our way if needed!

    England were up 12 - 8 at halftime and the pundits said England were poor.  England won 38-12 against "brave Scotland"

    A valiant effort by the scots. A notable draw against New Zealand.

    Looking forward to England v Australia this afternoon!

    Yet another poor display by England. They seem to have lost the plot somewhere along the way. Lot of rebuilding to do before next year's World Cup me thinks.

    Sadly they just don't/ didn't have that 'killer' edge and resolute determination. In my opinion of course!Frown

    The play by the Australians showed the gulf in class between the two countries at present. Mind you, it probably does help if you're coached by Mal Maninga, one of the finest players I ever had the privilege to see in his playing days! Happy

    I think I'll just copoy the above post following today's game, as the story was the same against NZ.
