So we finished fourth, not as strong as we thought we were are we?
I think too many people believed in the media hype and got caught out.

or maybe it wasn't a TEAM effort (eg; why did SJ take the final kick when, from previous kicks it was at least 5 - 10 yards out of his range - where was golden boots? Did he not shout for it or was he ignored?)
Other thoughts were that some people were more interested in taking people out than tackling for the ball (Gough for example)..
..And, the lineout - oh dear..
'Just my opinion'

Bear in mind we were potentially two scores from a grand slam. One missed kick and one unlucky passage in the dying minutes against France and we finished 4th. We are still better than England.
None of the teams really impressed consistently, even the grand slam champions. Thats not what you want leading into a lions tour. It has just made the job of the selectors much harder, with no one as yet really playing their way into the test 15.

Thought we'd left that mentality behind. They are not the benchmark.blindjim wrote:..We are still better than England..
At the start of the game we were two clear tries away from the lot, yet at no point did we look like getting one let alone two.
As I said earlier - no team effort at all..
