| Quote chapylad="chapylad"Agree with a lot of that you`ve said.
Wrt Welsby I would have him in my starting 13 but at FB in place of Tomkins and possibly Sneyd alongside Williams in the halves which is harsh om Tomkins I know.
Hill I disagreed with at the start but has been decent. Cooper for me was always the wrong selection.
Other than that not many other players would have got in that were available.'"
Agree with this.
We have enough time before the next World Cup or even next year to be fair, for some new players to force their way in. I expect this will/should be the last time we will see some of that squad in an England shirt. |

Some decent players to grow into the shirt, and some who missed the tournament like Lomax and Newman. We'll still be well behind Aus though. A few better better players on Saturday would have go us through, but wouldn't have made a dent on Australia

Since we've not beaten Australia in a series for over 50 years I'd suggest that it might be worth managing our expectations there. There's no reason why we can't continue to compete on a level playing field with NZ, Samoa and Tonga.

He may as well have been wearing a beret and a string of onions round his neck. What a game and what a win! |

Jillaroos Demolish the Ferns to Win Third Consecutive World Final
The first of the World Cup double header at Old Trafford in Manchester saw a lunchtime kick-off between Australia and New Zealand as New Zealand looked to overcome their narrow two-point loss in the group stages and claim a fourth World title after being defeated by Australia on the last two occasions.
Both sides made changes to their semi-final line-ups, Australia´s being wholesale while the Ferns switched just two of their players who defeated England in the semi-final.
It was a game between the sides ranked as first and second in the World, the bookies favouring a Jillaroos win and the first part of a Saturday afternoon Aussie double, but the Kiwi Ferns would give everything that they had to lift the trophy.

Australia World Champions Again As They Tame Samoa
The final game of a great tournament, the last competitive game of the 2022, season and the World Cup Final pitched the hottest of hot favourites Australia against rank outsiders, underdogs and surprised finalists Samoa.
Australia were unchanged from the side which beat New Zealand in the semi-final while Samoa made a number of enforced and tactical changes as they looked to peak in the most important game of their lives.
Australia had been handicapped by fourteen points on the coupon, but it would be a foolish person who underestimated a Samoan side that was packed full of NRL superstars, all of whom were dedicated and determined to spring one of the biggest rugby league surprises of all time.
