Nice one, Eddie

"Australia have lost momentum" then next play they go and score.

He doesn't half come out with some drivel.

Even Stevo & Brian sounds tired of the drivel :doz:
Have to say after watching the 1st half that England are very lucky to be down only two points.
And I wonder if McBanana will whine about a bias Aussie ref

Fair play to Rangi Chase singing the anthem before the game!

Stevo thinks Australia are going to run it with 18 seconds to half time :eusa4:
I love the way he then tries to justify this delusion. Sky really need to get somebody who can do a decent job and get rid of the chuckle brothers

They are like a bunch of fellas in the pub talking among themselves & that's the lot of them they are all bloody awful commentators

Yeah I thought so too, Widdop & Reed also

Same old story, we can match them for about 60 minutes then the floodgates begin to open.

We're lucky it hasn't been more convincing as they bossed the 1st half. There's been no improvement since McNamara took charge, if we want to make an impact at the 2013 World Cup he has to go.

Another factor is rugby league is a national sport in Australia not here so we have very little chance of closing the gap anytime soon.

I never expected anything different to be honest. McNamara thinks picking players to play out of position is the way forward. Sinfield isn't a stand off, Westwood isn't a loose forward. He leaves Widdop who has played stand off all season on the bench and then brings him on at scrum half. I know it's already been done to death, but that's my tuppence worth

It's a fair point. National coaches seem to lose any common sense they may have had had and pick the best 17. By that I mean if the best 17 in players England were all wingers we'd have and England side with wingers from 1 to 17.

Nice speech by Lockyer, farewell to a legend of the sport.
