I'd certainly like to see more of Farnworth's attacking skills on that side.

Seems very strange to say this, but Williams is having a good game.

Williams is a great player, he’s just been playing in an out of form badly coached side

Absolute peach of a kick from Sneyd.

That's really not the issue mate. 

I'll reserve judgment 'til I see evidence.

Dom Young looks better in this than any stunt I've seen him for the Knights 

Was thinking the same thing but he's revelling in the opportunity.

Good half from England.  They look dangerous, particularly when Welsby shifts to the short side to create a 3 on 2 or 4 on 3.

But the zero next to the opposition is probably the most important factor.

Are we that good?, or are Fiji that bad?...... 

A bit of both. Fiji are way off the pace but it's been a solid showing from England.

All he does is...

Seriously though, how do people feel about him v Oz and the Kiwis?

Is he worth selection with his kicking game?

Is this a full strength Fiji side?

No. They have world class players like Kikau and Koroisau to come in.

But you can only play what is in front of you.

Fiji looking really poor, disappointingly one sided, but nice to see England playing well

That would be my summary too.

I'd have preferred it if we'd been tested a bit more. Maybe we will in the second-half.

It is no where England’s full strength squad too so you really can’t use that excuse on either team.

No Kikau, Korisau, Sivo.. But you would hope Fiji have to have better than this.

There are some top NRL players to come in. But there are some top players in this match-day squad.

I know some of you would choke on the words, but maybe... just maybe... England aren't total and utter rubbish?

I'm not excusing anything.  Just answering a question.
