'Rubbish' England slammed
Australian winger Lote Tuqiri
Tuqiri scored two tries against Scotland on Sunday
Australian winger Lote Tuqiri has hit out at England's display in their defeat to New Zealand last weekend.

"It was rubbish. I was surprised. There was no oomph. Their backs were made to look stupid," Tuqiri told the Sydney Daily Telegraph.

"They weren't even 60% as good as they were in the World Cup.

"They missed the players who keep a side together, who can gel the team by putting their hand up and doing something inspirational."
