Australia vs. England Review

A friend of mine has a saying - "even the blind squirrel will find a nut eventually". 99% of the time I agree - odds are that something will go someone's way eventually. That 1% for me used to be England in the Ashes, we won't go there however. Now the English Rugby League team has taken that mantle well and truly.

My prediction of 30-12 wasn't too bad was it? Usually I'm wayyyy off but I have to thank the rain for this one. On a sunny day it would have been 60-10 easily. Luke Lewis had an absolute blinder until he was injured and really the whole side cruised it in for the win.

Apparently I was a little harsh in claiming I didn't know Sam Tomkin's name at all. Guess what - he did absolutely nothing except act as a punching bag for the Aussies. Do yourself a favour and come to Australia and get some QLD Cup into you. Really the whole English side were pathetic except for their captain, James Graham, and Luke Robertson. Graham proved he could hang with the Aussies and Robertson did the best he could behind an inept and lifeless pack.

England might beat PNG so the kids can go home saying they won a game. Australia look forward to New Zealand at the home of rugby, Eden Park in Auckland. The forecast is a rainy, windswept night with a high chance for entertaining football. Should be an absolute barnstormer of a game and I can't wait. Look out for a preview later this week and also an article on Broncos Halfback, Peter Wallace.

Until then Ranters,

Waldo.
