The difference is, we're all just fans - the Aussies whining are the players and coaches. Big difference.
As I'm sure you're aware, it happens every year without fail. Since the days of 'Bozo' Fulton every single Aussie coach has complained about refs, England tactics etc before a game - even Wayne Bennett.
If England do lose, as expected, it will be because we are poor. However, having Tony Archer reffing the match won't help us. I'd be surprised if he gives us anything - he hasn't in any previous games.
The thing that gets me is how the Aussies always go on about how they're so superior (which, let's face it, they are) - in that case, why make such a big deal about refs? Surely you should be able to steamroller us without home officials/bouffant-sporting clowns with a chip on their shoulder about the poms?
