Re: Same team for England
Just over 100 years since the Rourke's Drift test in July 1914. GB decimated by injuries and the 3 match series at 1-1. Quote from Wikipedia:
"Within the first minutes of the match, Great Britain were down a man due to an injury to Frank Williams. Forward Arthur 'Chick' Johnson, the Widnes club's first international representative, was shifted to the wing to take Williams' place. At half time the British were leading 9-3. Ten minutes into the second half, they had lost Douglas Clark and Billy Hall to injuries so were reduced to ten men. 'Chick' Johnson, playing out of position on the wing, then used the unorthodox method of dribbling the ball ahead with his feet to score a try. This lifted his teammates in defence and the British managed to win 14-6."
Hope England can muster up some of that spirit on Sunday!

Re: Same team for England
The Aussie ref has been appointed to the Aussie game to make sure the Aussies win.
The Kiwi ref to the Kiwi game to make sure the Kiwis win.
The final between the Aussies and Kiwis will have a massive crowd and that's what it's all about.
We won't have genuine International Rugby League until this problem is resolved with neutral referees for all fixtures.

Re: Same team for England
Line speed and aggression are what's needed.
We need to build pressure, get through our sets and kick well. I'd even be in favour of kicking to touch when we're not in an attacking position to try and nulify Inglis.
We don't need to score on every set be patient, win the battle up front and the opportunities will come.
I know others teams fans don't like him but Mickey Mac was made for games like this, lead by example by getting of the line quick and smashing everything in sight. Someone else needs to take on this role.

Re: Same team for England
Yoy are right re MICMAC . Why have we not got a identicat to shadow him? Lazy. Lack of proactive management.Give the job to the latest mediocre scrum half who happens to be on the books. No drive dynamism ,vision in the Club.
