A little unfair on the Welsh and Irish Pentire. Although the Aussies are missing Larkham&Flatley among others,the Irish are also missing a few 1st choice players O'Driscoll being a real loss. Also the Irish have a few players now coming close to the end of their international days and they need to rebuild,same as the Aussies. Although the score was heavily in favour of Australia,by no means was it the hammering it looks. Drew Mitchell looks a good find for you.
The Welsh were again punished by a very good S Afican side but the injured players are badly missed by the Welsh.
The 6 Nations will be a good indicator of how England are doing. I'm happy with them, but Noon is not yet the answer in the centre.
Just as a side thought, if the All Blacks were to play Australia next Saturday,I could see one of the worst beatings the Aussies have ever taken. Don't be fooled by this result in Ireland,they have a huge way to go to get back to their previous high standard.
Hmmm the Lions with only Englishmen
. I don't think so,there are a good few Welsh and Irish that are worth a place in the British XV. Not one Scot though
