Eastmond is no half back.

Mad bull mick,open your eyes.

Again playing to instructions Eastmond occupied the right centre position,the only time he was at scrum half was when he fed the scrum.If he is picked at No.7 then he should be allowed to play at No7.

Oh, I must have missed Chris Bridge playing right centre all game. Open your eyes indeed.

Daft lad.

eastmond IS a halfback and him and tomkins are the best option we have. hopefully they will be kept as a halfback pairing for the next few years, then we might see the level of cohesion that lockyer and thurston have as lockyer has been their number 7 for years. we've had 14 different halfback combinations or something like that for GB / England.

and how do you figure that roby is only a one trick pony? he's a hooker and is meant to pass the ball to people! sinfield shouldn't have been at hooker either, he played well but is better at loose.

the team played fantastically well last night but ran out of steam.
the game against NZ took it out of them i thought whilst the aussies had a nice rest and run out against france.
i think the team did so well and that is the closest we have ever come to beating them in a final in such a long time. the futures bright i say!

would you have created this debate had we won the match?
because with less than half hour left we were einning and matching them in every way!!!
tomkins had the tournament of his life and can only get better.
eastmond justified his selection against new zealand and early in the final

can i just say though....why wasnt maguire on the bench, why does smith like to make examples of players and drop them completely????

The debate is entirely justified because England were absolutely annihilated in the last 20 minutes. The Aussies are great but that does not excuse England from being torn to shreads.

England matched Australia for 60 minutes and I honestly think credit should be given for that.

British Rugby League cannot compete with Australian rugby league. The NRL is financially light years ahead of SuperLeague and because of that they have the pick of the talent.

I don't think most people realise how big the NRL actually is in Australia. It's as big as Premiership football in England, it's at that level. We wouldn't expect a small country to beat England at football. In rugby league terms England is a small country.

We're getting closer but not close enough.

Last nights game wes thoroughly entertaining to watch. It makes me laugh when i read some comments on here from sad rugby union supporters havind a dig our game, what a load of rubbish that game is, incredibly boring.
Looks like Darren Lockyer may be coming towards the end of his career, he has been a great player.
I thought England played well last night, but the Australian team have so many matchwinners.
Maybe you people from England can see how hard it is for us here in NSW to beat Qld at the moment in state of origin each year.
With blokes like Smith Lockyer,Thurston,Inglis,Hodges,Folau,Slater coming at us each year.
But i have to say is is very good to watch.

Eastmond at full back might be an option, let him get to know the game at that level a bit. The aussies did it with Lockyer and it hasn't done him any harm.

I thought the boys did well though, considering the inexperience in our back line. Look on the bright side lads, we could be union fans, I wouldn't give a bucket of P&$* for their future!!

Also look at the facts, we beat the world champs and ran the aussies bloody close for 120 minutes of the 160, its better than this time last year now lets kick on.
