Oh leave it out mate! You're off your trolley!!!
(sorry i have been watching "The Bill" too much)

England are so boring to watch when they play rugby. I watched the game against France....it was not exactly exciting. All England do is rely on Jonny Wilkinson to kick goals for them. Its ghey.

I'm not saying they don't deserve to be in the final or anything, but seriously, it is sooooooo predictable.


Thats my $0.02 anyway

Talking bring it on

Bring it on !!!!!!!

the pom's are as good as beaten!!
if you want to beat england- it's easy(a bit of an exaggeration but who gives a shite) ....
1)just dont concede penalties near your try line
2) run them ragged by using the ball on the wings
3) muscle up to their fowards (like Whales did in the quarters)
4) win your line outs

we all know that the australian team is far more attacking and dangerous
Australia has only conceded 5 tries (or maybe 6) ie good defence

the poms only game plan is
1) let johnny have a shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <----- the most f-ing boring team i have ever seen

if you dont concede good territory(so wilkinson cant take field goal attemts) and dont give silly penalties away in your half then the only way the poms can win any game is by actually playing rugby properly. AND I THINK ANY PESRON WITH EVEN HALF A BRAIN CELL CAN EASILY SEE THAT THE POMS CANT PLAY RUGBY PROPERLY

the only reason france didnt wallop the silly poms is because
1)their kicker missed 4/4 fairly getable penalties
2)had two man yellow carded( and the poms put on like 15 points in this time)
3) it was raining pretty much all of the game.this is significant because:
* england have a very heavy pack- so in scrums the french were always going to struggle on the wet terf( watch the game and you will see how obvious this is);
* the wet weather hampered the french style of play, that is ,very attacking running football(the way th gae should be played!!!!!. it's virtually impossible to play this type of game in the wet

some might say that the poms also had to face the weather. true but look at their game plan (penalties and field goals). the weather suited their game plan very well and almost killed the french type of play

4) the frogs were to ill-disiplined. gave away TOO many goal attepmts to wilkinson


in conclusion, (as longas it doesnt rain)the poms are *ucked !!!!!
the aussies are too good for them

should be good walking through the city (in Sydney) on saturday night seeing all the poms whinging about the game

cannot wait!!!!!

Diamond Geezer!!!!!!

(That's pommy slang for good bloke)

Yeah, England give a repeat performance of Sunday night and Australia can book a third world cup. Seriously, they staved the New Zealand backs of the ball in Saturday's game, so a repeat of that (along without conceding stupid penalities), and its a formality. Australia win...












hopefully

Careful with the bragging/overconfident predictions. The Ukta's did that with the soccer last time...boy did they get a shock


Posted by OLi_A on Nov-17-2003 10:23:

france has one of the best forward packs in the world bro
top notch front row with awesome loosies (cept for the betsen=penalty factor). they had a wicked lineout but the wet ball made mince meat of that
i wouldve been more satisfied if they went through. they wouldve wanted another shot at australia

anyway replay of the 91 world cup final, lets hope the aussies can do it again

1) its not about conceding penalties near your try line but anywhere within your own half. (i seem to remember Aus gave away something like 20 penalties in theor semi final)
2) if u do too much wing play the gaps will open and Robinson, Lewsey, Cohen will love that
3) England; best forward pack in the world
4) Lineouts are a bit of a problems, Eng will get there fair share of steals but so will Aus.

England can play so many different styles of rubgy and if need be they can play a very expansive game. True the backs havent had much experience in this world cup doing that but do u remeber how Engalnd tore apart Australia and NZ over the winter tour (N.Hemipshere winter)

I agree a load of penalties if boring but i'd rather see England win playing like that than lose playing attractive rugby and im sure you'd say the same if it was the other way round

After all winning is everything

Yep,and NZ tore apart Aus not 4 months ago, and look what happened to them.

every team has got one great game in them i just think that maybe Australia have used there's up.

Don't get me wrong im no way saying that this will be an easy game for england. Talent alone England should win. But Australia are THE greatest sporting nation on the planet and they have the have a knack of winning things. They have tremendous self belief, with 30 nseconds to go adn 6 points down the Australians would still think, we are gonna win this game. I really do admire Australia's sporting achievements.

It says something that Australia with probably the worst Oz rugby team to play in a RWC still get to the final, reminds me of Germany getting to the football WC in Japan last year.

Im hoping for a good game of rugby and i know england can play better and play more attractive rugby than they have been doing. Hopefully this will be a good final, finals are notoriously poor in general.

Good luck Australia

(and if we lose i reckon the Brits shoudl just invent another sport as nearly all sports come from the Britsih Isles, thats the only other way we are gonna become world champions)

So fuck if it is boring, its not the Harlem Globetrotters. The teams are there to win, and if it is through penalties then so be it. If the final ends up as a repeat of the England - Wales match then i will be more than happy, and im sure you would be if Australia won the WC that way

As for the French losing because the weather happered their style, it is a load of shit. The French are used to playing in the rain as it often pisses down there


Posted by slinkyhead on Nov-17-2003 18:18:

you aussies go on but us being whinging poms but your just as bad if not worse, these things have been said about the English rubgy team:

been funded too much
too dirty
have too many illegal mauls
over rely on their forwards
over rely on Wilkinson
too many players on the pitch (16)
the weather meant France lost

hmmm if thats not whinging then i dont know what is
