England - reality check

Never "happy" about a loss - but can't say I'm suprised. In fact was really quite pleased with the intensity England played with.
Prior to the test I was hoping we could nick 1 of the 3, but wasn't expecting to.
Now I think we might just do that - probably the last game. In terms of development this would be a decent result.
I thought SA were excellent - just had too much in the engine room for us by the end. They also had a better game plan, and executed it better.
We can tweak a bit - hopefully have Corbs back in the scrum, start with Flood and get the backline going.
Outside of the scrum I thought the forwards had the best game I've seen in a long time. Robshaw and others were fantastic at the breakdown.

So not happy to lose - but far from disappointed with the performance and desire shown against possibly the most physical team in the SH, and in their back yard.

Looking forward to the next one!
