Agree MTT, although I too wouldn't start predicting what we'll do to southern hemisphere teams in 2015. That's the sort of hubris that comes back to bite.
We don't yet know how good this England team can become - so far they have only just squeaked past the two weakest teams in the 6 nations, and lost at home to the first good side they have met. And we haven't a clue how good the southern hemisphere teams be in 2015.
I do see a lot of promise though. It's early days but so far Farrell looks as good a tackler and kicker as Wilkinson, and like Flood is better than Wilkinson in decision making and using the ball (not Jonny's strong suit).
Yesterday was I left with the impression that England's substitutions fecked them up.

Serious note, maybe England are where Wales were 2 years ago and even they aren't the finished article just yet, the future looks exciting for these 2 teams.
Wales are also a magnificent team; everything about them is right; mentality, team spirit and skills on the pitch and if not for one moment in the semi of the RWC I think theyd have beaten the All Blacks in the final (sorry if that's rubbing Welsh noses into it; I have a huge, genuine admiration for this Welsh side, that's why I'm so pleased about how England performed against them). Only a few months ago England wouldn't have been able to live them on the pitch, but these England players seem to be following the Welsh example.

Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIt was the best result possible; this new England side are going to lose a few games before they start winning big games; now they've played a big game against top class opposition, fought like hell and come close; they'll be a better team thanks to this and when they put it all together somebody's going to be on the wrong end of a bloody good hammering. France and Ireland will have to be very careful now.

Originally posted by shaunbhoy View PostSour grapes methinks. After two unconvincing wins due almost exclusively to charged down tries, it was high time England's run of flukey victories came to an end. Well done Wales, worthy winners.
More importantly, 23 points ahead of the taxdodgers now!!
