England came out with a second rate squad, and weren't really looking to win. Clive Woodward said himself he told the boys just to go out there and have fun. It wasn't a match they had to win so they didn't.
Not like I'm and England fan though. Just don't like the Wallabies.
Have Australia 're-matched'(as all the Australian commentators are so fond of saying) Ireland yet?

Cmon The Aussies Side Isnt At Full Strength We Have A Lot Of Young Blood.
You Only Play With The Side You Got.
Theyve Been Spanked in The 6nations , By The Kiwis And Now Us.
They Still Had Half A Side Full Of World Champion Players.
There Foward Pack Is Shocking , Ben Cohen Is Pathetic.
They Just Cant Score Unless They Have A Kicker.
And Rugby Is More Than Just Kicking. Plus The Amount Of Time Delaggio Whinges Is Downright Unbareable Considering the amount of time the poms kept collapsing the scrum.
My Tipping I Got 5. Bummed On WCE , Adelaide And One Other.
And My Formula Of Never Tipping Fremantle Works Again.

I'm disappointed about the penaly shoot out result between holland and Sweden, looked like a cracker of a game from the highlights I saw on SBS World Sports though.
What do we reckon about the final, Czech Republic Vs Portugal? That's where my money is.
I don't like half the Australian team, I don't like Eddie Jones, and generally I don't like Australian sportsmen, commentators, presenters etc. The women seem to be more humble, and so fourth, the mens teams are just so cocky, arrogant and up themselves, they might win a fair bit, but humility and a slive of humble pie wouldn't hurt now and then.
I didn't pay enough attention to the game, and I don't know enough about the rules, so someone help me out here, if a player crosses the try(touch?) line, drops the ball and knocks it forward, is that a knock on? This is prior ot him placing the ball on the ground. I've seen this happen a couple of times, it was given as a knock on, cause this was on the line, or so the video ref believed, the second time it was over the line, so whats the go there?
It's good to see theres a fair amount of action going on on this board of late, even if it is the same old few, and we're talking about sports instead of punk.

If You Loose The Ball Foward At Any Stage Unless The Ref Has Called Play On It Is Deemed A Knock on.
Im Very Proud Of My Country When It Comes To Sport.

England may have had half a side of world champs, but were missing some of their most influencial players like martin johnson, who retired, and johny wilkinson aswell as robinson. for some reason, dawson play only a few mins and yet hes one of the better players, but anyway, on the day, australia was far better
