OT - Rugby World Cup

[Alneyan]

Obviously, England will win. They merely played quite poorly so that France thinks England are no match. They will see they were overconfident soon enough. I wish it will be so.

Do you realize what will happen if France were to win? I mean, England defeated by France! I cannot quite imagine that. (I agree, I was quite worried by the match Last week to say the least. *Grumbles*)

We will see, I have yet to decipher the tides of time to see what is the result of this match. The result is not as obvious as in the case of England - France. *Smirks* A close victory for England, that is my own bet.

Yippee, Les Bleus are now Les Cocks and are on their way home due to the English ability to play tactical rugby in a monsoon. I bet Michalak feels a mighty bit narked at the moment.

Seriously, good game and good to see the English simple cummin at'cha and grinding the French down.

But as for Mr Dominici, cheating rascal trying to hit Billy Whizz like that - not simple the done thing you know.

As for the Aussie/Kiwi bash, the Aussies upped their game when they needed to, came on like a freight train and on that performance, would have taken out ANY team in the competition. The kiwis couldn't get into it, but hey ho, the Kiwi/French game on Thursday will be a corker, as both teams have pride to play for.

As to the final, dunno. The Wallabies looked awesome, but they took a lot of injuries to get that victory. I hear the bookies are currently making England 7/4 favourites to win.

I think we will win, it will be close and a visciously physical game, but at the end of the day, English experience and defensive solidness will win the day.

Patriotic issue aside, I don't understand your exitment This English team is a sham. They play football, not rugby. No courage and no ability to carry the ball over the the line. For what I care, England lost 1:3 to Wales in quaters and 0:1 to France. If England beat Wallabies in the same fasion, I'll give up on Rugby Union and watch American Football. At least they flash that part of the human body.

Oleg hit the nail on the head on what people are saying over here. Why even attempt for a 'try' when you can just kick the ball and win the match?

I'll stick with my AFL if that is the case.
