So England have coughed through the first game, beating the USA 28-10. The USA played well, England were not good. It is my humble opinion that this year the World Cup is the All Blacks' to lose, no one else so far has looked half so convincing.
England were shit... kept dropping the ball, not clearing rucks fast enough, slow ball and slow decision making. And the USA did play well - they're all amateur players, all doing day jobs and using holiday allowance to play. They didn't look like it today. Although spear tackles aren't allowed for a reason US Eagles...you don't want any of your guys sent home with a broken neck, and neither do we. And I have to say, ITV; I really didn't want to see Ollie Barkley being driven head first into the ground a dozen times. The first time made me feel quite sick enough thank you.
