For anyone that can't see how good Welsby is.. you are either clueless or blinded by bias for another club.
That was his worst game. He had a shocker. But so did a couple of others.. he was probably the worst. How someone can totally switch off in the semi of world cup when he is a player that usually competed harder and longer than anyone
English players play too many games and are then expected to compete with the best in the world that play less games.
England looked great at times and saved the worst game for the semi. I'm still gutted. It was horrible to watch.
There are some good signs but hooker for England moving forward is a big worry. Even at their best micky mac was still awful.
Can't say im overly exited about the future of our props but I'm sure guys will step up in the future. Oledzki was injured at the end of the season. Lees will surely become a starting prop. Walmsley was a miss but Burgess definitely stepped up.. hopefully he has another big England tournament left in him
Centres.. we just don't produce world class centres.. or they are never available. Farnworth is promising but wants to be a fullback.
I don't understand what went wrong with the mentality of the players.
Whitehead was brilliant. I was so gutted for him. Makinson is always class too and can't really fault his effort.
