Power, Points or Pride?

England struggled to their first win on their tour of Australia without scoring a try for the second game in succession, while the Saxons in America are scoring for fun.

I am not suggesting the standard of opposition is comparable – Martin Johnson’s men are clearly fighting a much harder battle than the second-level competition in the Churchill Cup – but what confuses me is the mentality of the backlines who line-up with Red Roses on their chests.
