fucking terrible. i'm seriously wondering whether Johnson's the right man for the job. England have offered absolutely no attacking threat for two weeks on the bounce now. They'll get mullered next week.

I agree. Organised defence, but we have very little flair in attack. Good to have wilko back, but we can't rely on him.

To be fair though, 20+ injuries really doesn't help.

Wilko's kicking from his hands against argentina was very poor. We kicked way too much. Wouldn't have been so bad if it had been into space, or over their heads, but everytime it landed in the wingers/full backs hands. We need to be used our 2nd row to punch holes in their defence with quick drives, and quick release, to disorganise them.

We didn't test their defence properly and were saved by one good bit of play towards the end.

We will get raped by NZ this weekend.

However, i do like Englands purple kit (no homo)

Not if we play as consistently as we did last w/e, all over the place! Some really nice parts though so I'm looking forward to the rest of these autumn gamea and 6N.

didn't see england pumas, but saw against australia. The thing that struck me was that england's attacking play was so so so (even more than usually) slow, and zero creative spark. Aus weren't at their best but still I don't think england looked really that shakey.

Pretty sure this has been the teams goal for the last 3 years. Chris Patterson and the defence can't win them every game.

Barbarians vs NZ. Great match so far. Habana is a machine.
