The OZ are smarter, and matching you in the scrum, their one handed offload is sucking in players also, making space for the runners, as in the last try.........<ok>

It's a southern hemisphere skill..You lot did it well for a while a few years back, so did the French...surely with all these southern hemisphere coaches it should be more of a feature now..or is it too late by the time it gets to international stage?

Oh well, got to say my hopes for england were only slightly better than those for liverpool tomorrow ie will hope for the best and cheer them on but would i put any money on them? er...er.....no!
 
And so it begins...







It's Australia and Wales who survive the Group of Death, but which one will top the group? That will be decided when the two teams meet on 10 October.................:1980_boogie_down:
 
Fair play to Wilko there, he knows what's coming...I might be anti England where rugby is concerned but already the online papers are ripping this very young team to shreds...It's just ridiculous!

Ok, there's an inbuilt arrogance that always assumed they'll be the best but you have to go in like that.

Honestly...why do the English enjoy ripping the guys they were cheering on 90/80 minutes ago down? Not taking the piss, maybe it's because you enjoy success more than we do that you're expectation is higher but it all seems like you tip past the balance to self defeating ....
 
And great moment in the Scotland match. Scottish player dived...Ref goes over and says " do that again and you'll not play for two weeks"

Nigel Owens actually said "if you want to play like that come back here in 2 weeks" <laugh> There's obviously a football match in 2 weeks wherever they were playing.

On a bright note I made a **** load of money thanks to the Aussies :grin: had them to win by 19.5 points or more .... go on Bernard Foley an Irish man's name if ever I heard one.

England never had a chance as we didn't have a proper openside flanker at best Robshaw is a six and a half and the front row is crap.Also Robshaw isn't captain material.
