Kevin Walters is a bit fed up of hearing from pundits back home that his Kangaroos' three-Test Ashes sweep was just a piece of cake, a facile exercise conducted against sub-standard, plodding English opposition.
So after his world champions had wrapped up their unbeaten tour with a 30-8 triumph in an intense final clash at the passionate English rugby league citadel of Headingley on Saturday, the coach felt it was time for an emphatic riposte.
Putting a very different spin on the whitewash over the best players in Super League, he said: "Some of the Australian press have been saying 'it's like a walk in the park'. Well, come over and walk in the park against the English, and see how you go ... These were tough matches."
