England Rugby

[fowlen]

all you can do is laugh - they are so so useless.
Absolutely murdered by the springboks who did not even get out of second gear.
Conceeding almost 60 points shows what a weak defensive unit they are.
The English team had no tactics resembled headless chickens running round in circles

[FatTony]

England were without more than 30 players because of injuries and club commitments before the tour had even started and then an illness/virus hit the squad even further.

[ARIMAN]

No WC is won six months before the event. England need to build back play - Tait and Flood were promising

In the Northern hemisphere, with England's full pack - the game would have been much closer

[lfcruleus]

They are shite and it makes me feel sooooooooooo good.

[FatTony]

They're not as shite as Wales, which makes me feel sooooooo good....

[fowlen]

If they're not as shite as wales, that means that the Ozzies are doomed :crackoff: :crackoff:

[FatTony]

The 6 nations table doesn't lie.

It just cracks me up when people take this piss when their own teams are equally as shite or worse. I really don't understand it.

People in glass houses and all that

I dont think anything can be read into any games leading up to the World Cup. That includes the Tri Nations. Come France 2007 it will be a different ball game

I don't know much about rugby these days, so remind me, was that the tournament thing where Wales beat England?

[FatTony]

Yes, Wales beat England in the 6 Nations, but that was their only victory. They lost to every other team, including Italy.

England beat Scotland, France and Italy.

France won it, Ireland finished 2nd.

If you're taking one game as an example to say one team is better than the other, then its just like saying West Ham are better than Manu because they beat them at the end of the season, which of course is bollox.

Yes, but the big event is the World Cup - the thingy where England beat Wales and everybody else they played.

I know it's early days, but based on form over the last 18 months, and depending on how the fixtures pan out, one would have to assume at this stage that it will be a NZ vs SA final.

France at home should never be discounted though
Will be interesting in just about 3 months time

[Rocket]

france taking a good old spanking this morning

[fowlen]

was not a good weekend for the Northern Hemisphere teams.

Ireland, Wales, England and France all beaten by large margins.....

[Snigger]

I don't think SA will make the final - beating a 3rd stream England team is a long way short of being a world cup finalist especially as yet again a team touring SA has been struck by a mysterious illness.

ahem :haha:
