The decline of GB/Eng

Based on the performances of NZ, Aus and now Samoa, I’m expecting a loss against Tonga. 

it’s sad how much we have regressed since the 70s we haven’t competed consistently, I do wonder what changed. Prior to 75, we had the better of Australia but since then, it’s been miserable.

Probably why England are trying their best to pick a team of NRL players 🤣, Jack Charlton has nothing on McDermott.

England Tonga should be a competitive game. I wouldn't write off England, we still have some good players. Whether we're a good team, time will tell.

That said, having seen a bit of Samoa this morning, remember years ago when they used to say that the Aussies could pick 3 or 4 teams to beat us? Well that's what these Samoans and Tongans could well be!
