Have to disagree with wessex, our pack was the only positive in the game. They improved 100% from their mess against Eng.
The backs were woeful. Larkham kicked far to much to the most awsome back three in the game. How can you give Rokokoko or whatever and Howlett 30 clear meters and expect to stop them.

I blame a huge part of the problem on Eddie Jones. He is a real authoritarian. This coming from a guy in the squad that I went to school with. Every player is under the pressure of being dropped on one bad game..i.e Latham. He is one of the most devestating counter attacking players in the world, he is also a confidence player, dropping him puts to much pressure on him. Surely Burke is to old and slow and not the kicker he was to warrent his spot.........On a positive Stirling Mortlock will be ready for the world cup. With him and Rogers in the centres we should be much better.

As for Sailor, leave him there, he has proved good enough, his defence will be ready for the world cup.
