I fancy us Australia aren't on top form and we appear to be playing top class stuff. We have to beat Samoa first… I’m pretty sure we will, but it won’t be by racking up 60 again. If the Aussies play like they did tonight, we lose. There is no area of the pitch where we can match them or play at that intensity for 80 minutes. Cleary had one of his weaker games but picked up in the second half and Mitchell had a stinker. That’s not likely to happen again next week. Their bench strength is crazy too.

Yeah I didn't say they were favourites but I fancy us we're playing solid stuff and Dom Young if a massive threat.

I've actually changed my mind if we play as piss poor as we've just played we're toast.

Beating Japan though, give Eddie a contract extension

Good weekend so far!
Lost the women's WC RU final, lost the men's RL semi-final against the mighty Samoa (who Australia will put forty odd points on in the final)...
...anyone hopeful for the T20 cricket final?!
One from three maybe, sounds about right for England, so you never know.

Samoa win the chance to be runners up to Australia. Seriously though, given the resources in this country, is there are bigger nation of chokers at sport than the English?

Heartbreaking but fair play to them. We have them a chance by a poor performance.

The women lose and Stoke are just Stoke.

Team sport, I would suggest not. Some of the individual sitting down events we're quite good: cycling, rowing, sailing. I don't know what happens when it comes to being part of a team, although we are a very individualistic race of people, maybe that's it.

I'll watch, but given the weekend performances so far from England teams (and Stoke), more in expectation of another defeat and hope of being pleasantly surprised if they don't lose. I have to say the way they demolished India makes me think they're due a shitter of a performance and have timed it just right for the final, but we'll see.

Failed with the basics today. Trying too hard at times and just crumbled. Samoa were the better team.
At least we don’t have to feel upset about losing the final next week…

The 60-6 victory was an anomaly against a Samoan team who were half-asleep. England didn’t lose to some backwater team comprised of part-timers. Samoa have probably six players who would walk into the England team and so I’d say this was a surprise defeat but not a shock. I think the Australians will beat them but they would beat any team and I’m hoping that Samoa can recover from today and hang with Australia as the game wears on.
