Preventing quick penalty by holding Morgan Parra

Schoolboy error!

Harsh

That is why he can't be in the cup squad. Not ready maybe 6nations

james u better than the coach

Would you rather be points down or a man down. Burgess made the right call

points down

cos average points lost whilst man in the bin is 14. so b 7 down or 14 Adam?

we'll see. they finished the half without giving up points

Still nan down. This is not football

I suspect England will win this but I did expect them to be in a more comfortable position at this stage.

Obviously don't have the10m rule at penalties in League then.
Burgess plainly does NOT know the rules of Union and if he did that in the RWC QF or SF it would spell disaster.

He simply is NOT ready !!!

Average with a man down is 7.

Lancaster won't take him he is using it to blood him. If he aced the game he may have gone.

ha

I would reiterate that average with a man down is 7, not 14, and this is a warm-up match, not a QF or SF. Learn from your mistakes, if this even was one, considering it was a tad harsh

Burgess has been the best back out there. The only reason he was carded was to make up for the mistake of not binning Slade. Burgess has added more than Tuilangi and Burrell. Also a shocking referring desision to bin him. Lancaster is almost certain to take him.

Coming from a level 2 ref for clarification

good win..Sam Burgess made the right thing there.
