Think we will win long run, France keep missing their kicks. Hope we'll win anyhow. We are playing better than we were last weekend
I was right, knew since the tournament started if it turned out to be a kicking game we would win.
Final score 24 - 7 to England
Think Australia needs to watch out !
RESULT!!!!!!!!
The weather in Sydney has been fairly atrocious all day, with really bad swirling winds. Clealy favoured our game, but I have to say the French looked very ordinary, and their handling was extremely poor.
I nearly paid 240 bucks for a couple of tickets but didn't in the end; pretty glad I didnt know; looks fairly miserable and wet.
Bring on the Aussies!

I was just disappointed that pretty much the whole game was just kick/return/kick...
v. boring!
Mind you, I'm a bit depressed that NZ choked (AGAIN!!) - if England thinks they can play a kicking game against Aus, then they've got another thing coming -
And in the playoffs for Bronze (I.e. the second Loser!) NZ I hope will make amends for the disaster of 4 years ago.
I'm going to hide under my bed and sulk for a week!

... Listening to The Offspring - Feelings... I'm very depressed!
Watch it at work (started at 4am today)
The rain killed the game really and turned it into a kicking game. Still we got the required result.
I do think we will be able to beat the Ausse's with a kicking game. We have the best kicker in the world at the moment.

Wilko is fantastic, just look at when he took a kick and put it through the bars without having a run up or time to think. Absolutely superb, think we can go all the way now
I thought it was most impressive when he gotta hit (damn hard) by Betzen and then got up and took a penalty, not sure if it should be a penalty or not, he was really commited and its wastn really late anyway.
I really hope that England get in top form for next week, and that the backs actually do something in the match, i would like to see a Jason Robinson try.
Should someone change the vote to Australia, or England?

As the experts have been saying, you can't defend against that style of play...Its England's time this year without doubt.Originally posted by scottyman

Finally we are on the urge of winning something major again, its great - sod football!!
We shall see grasshopper -
I'm only backing the Aussies because I have to - won't be able to stand a smug smile on Woody's face - that just won't do!![]()
Looks like the ribbing from my Aussie mates has started.
A guy walks into a bar with a dachshund under his arm. The dog is
wearing a England rugby jersey and is festooned with England pom-poms.
The bartender says, "Hey! No pets are allowed! You'll have to leave."
The guy begs him, "Look, I'm desperate! We're both big fans, the TV's broken at home, and this is the only place around where we can see the game."
After securing a promise that the dog will behave, and warning him that he and the dog will be thrown out if there's any trouble, the bartender relents and allows them to stay in the bar and watch the game.
The big game begins with the poms receiving the kickoff. They march down
field, get stopped at the 22, and kick a penalty goal.
Suddenly, the dog jumps up on the bar and begins walking up and down
the bar giving high-fives to everyone. The bartender says, "Wow, that is
the most amazing thing I've seen! What does the dog do if they score a
try?"
The owner replies, "I don't know, I've only had him for three years."

LOL
Who cares if we don't score a try against them? I know it would be very nice, but I would will be very happy for us to win the game with just kicking again, after all it is part of the game and has we are good at it, why not use it?

Yeah the reason people moan about it is because we are good at it.
The fact of the matter is that if you want to win the RWC you need a great kicker, and we've got oneWhen jonny was about to kick a right footed drop goal last Sunday, then suddenly switched and scored with his left, that was tip top quality.
Having said that, it would be nice to see Robinson score a 50 yard try...
