Same story as usual. We produce tough hard forwards who usually dominate the pack and are as good/slightly better than the Aussies. The issue is the backs weren't and still aren't anywhere near there level. I think in the last 30 years we have produced about two backs who might have got in there squad. Most would have have been nowhere near.

@@harryhatter2962 oh piss off you nob there has been countless times through out history where our forwards have been better. The last world cup final being an example. This has been the same since story since the 50s 60's and 70's our forwards are usually harder and meaner probably due to having more of a working class background to the aussie players. The problem has always been the backs are nowhere near (and never have been) as good. The thing is as aggression has been taken more and more out of the game the backs have had a much bigger influence since the 80's.

I hear this so often by Brit’s trying to save some face & it just doesn’t ring true, if it were the case you’d have won more games, the English forwards may have been more reckless but the Aussie forwards just concentrated on their jobs, not giving penalties away trying to kill their opponents

England have always had some quality, talented players but rarely match the fitness of Australian squads. High level match fitness is usually the difference..

GB just didn't have any flair. All by the numbers stuff in attack, crabbing sideways and predictable. The Kangaroos just had a touch of class that made all the difference: Stuart, Fittler and Daley could all step, pass, kick, run and create. GB tactic was get it to Offish in space and hope he goes the length.
