Australia Tour 2016 1st Test Eddie's Endeavour

Eddie embarks on his endeavour,
New journey of discovery;
To complete England's recovery.
Remember well that Autumn day,
Defences sliced as they danced and diced
Mattilda waltzed passed back inside
Cut to shreds and how they tried!

The first nail hammered in World Cup coffin
But coffers filling what's in the offing?
A grand first slam the doubters dealt with
In arrears of Southern hemisphere?
How are we doing? We need to guage,
On whole world stage, new chapter's page.
The swagger of our strength in depth,
Be matched and on performance etched.

Respect been earned, the tables turned,
Toll of Death knell an end to last year's living hell;
Mistakes seared and sealed, revered
In history books our memory's tears,
But in silent corner, thought spurs us on;
Healed, but not quite gone!

Six of the best so far but far from over
What's in store this latest tour?
Next test ahead the green and gold
The Wallaby their aces hold.
Fortress Twickenham been rebuilt
Forgiveness for the World Cup guilt
Now on the road as we go down under
Play cards right England it's time to plunder!
