Oleg and Baron Grazic, you play the game whatever that game will be.

The French game is not a case in point, as if you have ever played rugby union, you will know that you cant play a running game in a monsoon. You gott a play for the kicking game and that is what the boys did.

As for the kicking of Mr Wilkinson, it is an asset we have, and that is what we have used in some desparate matches.

Why is no one criticising the French given that is what exactly Michalak has been doing all tournament?? even more so than Mr Wilkinson!!

As for the passing game, that has been developing, but the English have faced some unexpectedly strong defences so have had to resort to other matters to break through.

Anything else is sour grapes?

I will not even comment on what I think of the Australian media's impartial reporting on the world cup. Read the French media, they are full of praise for England throughout the competition, even Eddie Jones has been saying how well England have been playing in their respective games.

We will wait and see what happens on Saturday.
