That is exactly as I see it.

That was my first trip to Wembley, and what a day it was! I was also there 4 years later when Jonathan Davies scored that great try in the corner. I don't think those days will ever happen again under the current format.

Yes please !

I'd back what you're saying here 100%

I was also there for both with all of our rugby club, the juniors sat with the open age it was a great day full of banter and laughs and an awesome atmosphere. Good times

I have to say I thought it was a great effort in relation to the crowd on such a day. Those slating it and the RFL but did not attend themselves are hypocrites....its not like you did not know it was being played.

My God some of you are negative today.

I went. Had a great day.

Wales tried hard and played above their level.

England played well enough to win and that was not easy for Oz. They should have had a man in the bin at least and we should have had another try.



Crowd was never going to be a full Wembley but it was still a good number. Need to build on that.



I think we'll beat Kiwis and could win the final....though odds are of course against that.



Don't agree the Yeaman wasn't good enough. Peacock was off, Chase was awful. Drop him. Thought rest were good. Hall and Briscoe were great. Tompkins showed class. Sinfield was good but on his own at times.

Of course I am, you know my circumstances because you know me obviously... Tool.

Other than the injuries to Graham (who was awesome in his first stint) and Ellis, we were beaten because of two New Zealanders who were completely out of their depth and made terrible decisions under pressure. One was the referee and the other, unfortunately, was our scrum-half.

Really harsh on Chase. I don't agree he should be playing (not that the Ozzies would do any different) but he did some good stuff, he did some bad stuff - more average than awful. In fact Sinfield was not any better in my view, same again he was good in patches but then poor at other times.

We were good in the forwards in the main, I couldn't understand why Carvell wasn't playing but in the end the more mobile forwards seemed to work. Both wingers played well, we just didn't get the rub of the green and silly errors at silly times cost us. It's the first time i've enjoyed watching England/GB for ages we actually moved the ball about well. Hope it continues next week

Fair play to you, but I am confused by your original post given you did not attend.



Basically you call it a sad day etc but do not support it.



I thought it was a great performance and provided a great building block for the future. It was a brave step by the RFL in my opinion.



Still its easier to slate there ambition when we did not directly support it.



As for tool

Harsh but fair?

Ill informed.
