You're spot on Tooting...........here in Wigan before the QPR game scouting out a pub to watch Irl v Eng and it's wall-to-wall Challenge cup final. Look's like it might have to be the alien rugby game for me so..
On the whole, yes... from management to squad the most complete outfit in RU... had some iffy results down south lately though and globally do tend to find the erratic French difficult to get past. It's a bit like the Aussies with England. Having said that the Aussies are looking good atm and the Boks are a match for anyone. I'm keeping an eye out for the Argies. Limited out wide maybe BUT very strong, increasingly competitive and difficult to beat. Was hoping Ireland could extend the O'Driscoll era with a solid World Cup performance. Not looking likely though is it?
Who watched oz v nz sat night might be very close,England will be there abouts depending injuries.Watch for aust
England are very good at getting to the latter stages of the rugby world cup. Can't see passed NZ or the Aussies to win it though.
