Come on now,Wilkinson has been world player of the year for the past 2 years,the guy is brilliant.He's a good tackler and uses the ball well when he gets it,aswell as being the best kicker in the game today,possibly ever.
I thought Mitchell did a good job with the All Blacks but the new regime has shown him up somewhat,especially on guys like Reuben(sp?) Thorne.Now they seem to have a good mix,Carter did pretty well on the goal kicking and, even though there was some debate, i think Spencer has to be at 10.
I agree about most of the other facts,our lineouts have been terrible recently,and Saturday was actually a big improvement on the Ireland six nations game,which tells you how bad its got.As a result Thompson is said to be getting dropped for the next Test,along with Dawson and Simpson-Daniel (who must have had about 2 name-checks in the whole game on our commentary).
