Suck eggs to New Zealand.
:P

The Poms had better have their ticket booked as they go home tomorrow Aussies All the way. Is there anything we are not good at???? Pretty good for a bunch of convicts

Go you good things

I wanna Wanna B a WAlla Walla B

Go U good Things....

Well NZ was our toughest opposition........................ Bring on the POMMIES

i'll be the unfortunate educated (pfft) convict to point this out, but really didn't we all come from england.. *gulp, wipes away a tear*:cry:cry
sh*it happens though :P

nooo I didnt come from england. Nor did my ancestors. I aint english. Where's me kilt n sporran. I think most convicts were irish. Going to live at my father and stepmothers place for a while. She is english. Should have a lot of fun.

So england are in next week. Dont they just play an exciting game of rugby. kick. kick. kick. kick. do they know you get more points if you carry the ball over the line?

like the aussie commentator said they were not there to be Torvill and Dean, just to win and we certainly did that.
I want to see George Greegan face up to Martin Johnson again and then wet himself and run away hahahaha
We beat France and the Kiwi ref

I think england got a good deal from the ref. the penalty count and yellow cards were certainly in your favour.

They could take a lesson from aussie cricket. Play hard all the way. My idea of sport is to try and humiliate the opposition. Not play with your tail between your legs.

australia is sooo much more exciting to watch.
i didn't enjoy tonights game as much
australia deserve to win
zac

i'll repeat what i said earlier: i dont like the way england play their rugby!:puke

tonights game was a let down to the sport of rugby in my opinion, so far the tournament has been fast, fun and exciting, but england have different ideas....

good luck to them, but they're in for a shock next weekend!

kai

Australia all the way!
Rob....

I hope Australia wins, I like their style of rugby better. If everyone played the English style, it would be the most boring sport to watch.

the following to be sang to the music of "knees up mother brown"
We're not going home,
we're not going home
we're not going
we're not going
we're not going homeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Well last nights game was to say the least - boring. Whilst the English style of play is clinical - it lacks one thing - entertainment. Woodward has said all along that he is here to win, no matter how they do it. :puke Which is a pity - because the style of play is totally non-adventurous.

Even the English supporters were starting to boo Jonny last night as he decided to take another kick at goal. Oh no....not another kick at goal. I thought the idea was to score tries?

The Wallaby's should win because they know the way to the tryline. The Poms could win due to Wallaby ill discipline - and that's the only way they'll get up.

On another note.....how about that trip by Dominici last night? Should he have been sent off or what? Disgusting!:puke

:beer Here's to the Wallaby's.

Squiz.....

Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi Oi Oi
Aussie...

Oi Oi Oi!!!!!:thumb

hey Andy 42 yes there is ........... just ask the ladies!!!
At the last few games I've been to its the brits that have made the atmosphere....win or lose we booze!!!
At the end of the day would you run around in the heat of Australia if you wasn't used to it or do exactly what was necessary. England are playing an intellegent game. World champions can be measured not just by one game. The Wallabies were spat on by their own country men up until the last game now all of a sudden they are world class.
As for saying Wales would have beat england if they had kicked better......... If Namibia had played better they would have beat the wallabies, if the Kiwis played to thier normal standard they would have been unstoppable.. its pure hypathetical conjecture.......
The wallabies had to borrow the English supporters for thier singing power at the last game..... else it would have been like a gig at the moon bar......no atmosphere.

oh yes........ where were the socceroos in the world cup....hahahaha

The welsh seem to have had a good time as well, thank goodness for Tom Jones I could hear 'why why why dehlila' all night, good on 'em.
If I can remember rightly the Irish were only just beaten by a kicked goal??

don't try to change the subject robroy!
how's your cricket team going by the way? have they figured out how to
a) bat
b)bowl
c)run
d)field
e)keep
f)all of the above....ie. my (theoretical) sons under 11 side can play better than you guys
zac

nope not yet but we are learning....dont like cricket anyway

more into the rugby hey?
(still got a bit of a way to go there but i guess time will tell)

Just like ya said robroy, world champs use every trick in the book. wev'e been holding back so we can smash ya's!
we were just on a tune up run with the All Blacks, a very tough first class team, easily able to smash England!
Rob....

Of course going from memory there is Euro 2000, FIFA World Cup '98 [whatever happened to that guy Beckham anyway?]....even the World Cup of 1966 was won by a lucky goal. The problem with being English is the weight of expectation thrust upon every team. Only now is English Footbal and Rugby getting above it. As for League....well that's another thread.

The differences between the two countries is that England says "we're going to win it", whereby Australia says "one game at a time".

Squiz.......

Yeah, the ref was harsh with one call (against Wales). Had they converted all their tries though it wouldn’t have mattered, the Poms would have been psychologically defeated.

As for the French, I think the Poms bored them into making unforced errors. Won’t happen with the Wallabies, they’ll be pumped off their insane tries.

…and you never know Jonny Beckham Wilkinson could get injured trying to stop Tuqiri on a break who will make no effort to avoid him and what would they do then?
