Aust v Eng 12 Jun 2010

Not sure what was worse - watching Australia scrum or the English back line attack. I don't blame the English forwards from being reluctant to give the ball to their backs. Only challenge is pick and drive from a few meters out is a very predictable thing to defend.

I expect England to do what most touring teams do and drop their performance levels as the tour progresses, for tonights 2nd test. In other words the points differential in Australia's favor to exceed 10 points.

Not that the result gives much indication of how the Wallabies will stand up to a team that not only has 15 players on the field, but one that has 15 players constituting an effective forward pack AND backline.
