Topsy Ojo really surpised me during the first game, I new he was fast but he outran Muliaina from try line to try line whilst the AB was in his own half.

Terrible? Barkley, Matt Stevens, Payne, Noon, Ojo... all terrible, shouldn't be anywhere near an England test jersey, but the sad fact is this is the level we're at right now
Ojo, our only try scorer of both matches shouldnt be wearing red and white?

No. He may be lightning quick, but he isn't a great tackler, and his positioning isn't great either, not somebody who should command a place on the England wing. But he is only 22, and has great potential so i'm not going to be too hard on him, so give him maybe 2/3 years to shore up his game and i'm sure he'll be an England regular.

Also, Danny Care and Tom Varndell scored tries, not just Ojo

As a LI fan, I've seen Ojo alot, obviously, and his defence is his problem. It has improved alot during the last couple of years. He can score tries for fun, but at this level defence is jsut as important. He probably isn't ready for England yet...but he will be, no doubt about it.

I guess Varn and Care didn't actually score tries.

Ojo had one interception and one nice try. Other than that he did not do anything of note. While Jordan's criticism was a bit extreme, it's not like he was inspirational or unmissable for us.

Care came out looking the best. Tait also looked good, albeit with a few hiccups here and there. Whichever bright spark kept putting Barkley in a position he's not trained in recently needs a slap.

I'd like to pick some forwards but when your pack can't put the motions on a opposing pack who have lost SIX of it's starters in recent months, you have to ask some serious questions of the forward coach as well as players.

I take it that was during the 2nd half of the 2nd match? My power cut out at half time and I saw on the news our score was 12 so I assume we had 4 drops goals.

Yup, Care took a quick penalty near the try line and found a gap himself.

Varn scored somehow, I wasn't paying attention at that point.

Have any of you guys watched Tahu yet he is killing it for Australia A and im sure will be in the Wallabies by the end of the year. Think Lote with harder defence and much better ball skills its sad another League player poached but the Wallabies really need him
