    @Machpants the more they love Smith, the more pleased I am. A poor man's Mounga

    He's a talent, but flaky. A lot is going to depend on how decent a platform he gets from his forwards.

    You just said the exact same thing as me while quoting my post.

    Nah. I was more eloquent.

    Based on today’s performance against Japan

    England 10-12-13 channel is porous

    Keep Earl quiet and England lose 9 times out of 10

    Big drop off in quality and accuracy when England bring on the bench

    can just see a hard running sotutu going straight through them now.....oh wait

    I see your Sotutu and raise you a Savea and throw in a Sititi for good measure!

    That’s pretty cool. I wonder how much the English players may know about Michael Jones.

    I’m not sure if current ABs met a Peter Winterbottom they would know him or hold him in high regard?

    You'd hope they would've been briefed before turning up

    Michael Jones just has that X factor, I’m sure the players absolutely loved meeting him.

    In terms of Peter Winterbottom perhaps the ABs might see the blond hair and mistake him for John Jeffrey or Jean Pierre- Rives?

    There were articles in the Waikato Times when this happened. Scary.

    Fair points IMO, although I think they downplay how good Slade was on defence

    @Machpants and it blames the young rookie for the lineout issues. Also lists DMac and Perofeta amongst the losers... which despite the reasoning doesn't fit.
