I want to watch the tests Eng v Samoa doesn't seem to be on fox anybody help.ps can't wait to see our hard running pommie backorder he he just joking.
 
Englands forwards dominated field position and possesion...as such Luai very limited in what he could do but the few opportunities he got in attack he was good

bateman as usual a total tosser, acting the tough guy while in possesion starting a stink, running sideways...good for D only

Skelton rocks and diamonds, bombed a try that turned into a 12 point turnaround
 
Skelton was very strong. Tough carries and a couple of nice plays but the clanger bombing the try and then England scoring the next set was disappointing but has enormous upside if he plays on the left for us. Romey very limited but looked dangerous when he had space. Samoa’s discipline was terrible so they didn’t have much ball. Bateman strong in defence but lacks some punch in attack.
 
Samoa looked less organised in general.

Skelton made a good break from broken play, but as ink said, played silly buggers when he should have just drawn and passed which would have had them 12 down with 10 to go and kick to come.

Luai was as good as he could be under the circumstances. Had a hand in a great try on the last. Doesn't seem to take control of the game in the way Cleary does. He'll be good for us, but he's not going to work miracles. Not bagging him, just saying expectations need to be realistic.

Bateman...hardly saw him.

Hard to gauge the organisation side of Romey’s game. Samoa had 38% of the ball for most of the first half so they played under fatigue. They rarely had any attacking sets. He has zero help in the spine Jazz at 9 and Milford at 6 is horrible. Definitely not concerned at all after that game
 
England's defense was excellent . Their line speed and moving up as one was first class although I did think the ref kept a pretty skinny 10 mtrs and turned a blind eye to outside backs being regularly offside. I'm guessing Lee Briers is their defensive coach. Should sound him out about a stint in Australia.

I just noticed he spent the last 2 years at the Broncos and returning to England.
 
The Samoan coach lost the game by picking Milford.
England's forwards worked, Samoa's pack of glory hunting non workers didn't.
Only another 80 minutes of holding my breath hoping the great man doesn't get injured to go.
He was great again.

Im worried as hell about our pack as it currently exists...and people want us to payout and get rid of an International backrower!
Luai and co should train to score tries for long range.
