I...anon - I did not share your half time optimism. I thought we were in for a thrashing. I agree that we kicked too much (and not well) in the first half - but the strength of the English pack and their power in the collision area gave us no chance. 6 turnovers in the first 20 minutes is a rout. I thought holding out at the end of the first half would have taken a big toll. That's why I was so amazed by what happened next. It was a mega performance.
