Never thought of it like that, Come on Australia

Aussies a good bet at minus 18

England 212 - 0 Australia

Forwards I reckon will match them, backs, not a chance, will be like men against boys, infact it is men against boys, too many new young uns thrown in at the deep end at the same time, just too big an ask.

bit over the top isnt it i predict england 20 aussies 60

DiddlesFax"England 212 - 0 Australia

Eng 6 - 24 Aus

poor smith is damned if he does and damned if he doesnt....however, england backs are just not good enough and havent been for years, its nt smiths fault but there are far too many imports in the backs positions still !!! unfortunately he should have recalled gleeson and senior who are still the top two english centres available with lee smith on the wing (or not atall as he is off to kick and clap !). if you saw shenton against france he got pulled out of position everytime they went down his flank.......hes not good enough and will get very exposed on saturday if they target him..............and i still cant beleive eastmond aint in the run on side.......its well known aussie and kiwi forwards struggle against players with good feet......and eastmond is a jack in the box and will cut them up down the middle !!!!!

After watching Aus v NZ our chances are non existent.

I used to be bothered but tbh I hope we get tonked as it will put two fingers up to all those Sooper Dooper League fans and Sky who think all is well in our game and we are getting 'closer' to the Aussies as SL is the best ever, and ever and ever - since 1996???



Its the biggest international game we play and yet it cannot sell out a 25K stadium, not without loads of freebies anyway.



They are fooling nobody.

couldnt of said it better even the super team fans cant be assed. unless its cos they are going to watch their leeds players and beleive stevo in saying this is the year

Should be ok in the forwards but the backs should mash ours....you never know though so we have to be hopeful

The Aussie and Kiwi forwards play with 100 times more intensity than ours do. We will get spanked both in the forwards and the backs. Our outside backline is the worst I have seen in years. We have a decent bunch of forwards BUT we are simply no where near our Aussie counterparts.



England 10 (if we are lucky) Australia 48

Handling errors to ultimately cost us, we'll lose the numbers battle. Of course I'd love to be wrong!
