I've got the latest score up on BBC Sport website - looking OK if we keep it up!
The wet conditions are better suited to us than the aussies.
We are playing really well, don't seem to be to phased by the Australians regardless of the pressure that is being put on. Wilko is one tough guy, think they are trying to take him out and he was down for over a minute not that long ago.
Thankfully I don't start work till 12.45 today so I'm getting to see it live on ITV
Lucky you!
I'm not big sport fan AT ALL. Snooker is my game and that's it. However I thought it necessary to, at the very least, follow the score.
Make sure you catch Robinsons TRY on the news, It was bloody fantastic !!
Half Time England 14 - 5
14-5 at half time due to Wilkinsons magic boots and the little wizard Robinson.
I think they can win this game.
Go on England!
Just merged the 2 threads together as I started this one when the game started !!!
heh, must have missed your thread
Come on the aussies, you can do it :)
just woke up and looked at the score...come on England!
We don't deserve to win with the number of mistakes which we are making... I hope we do though :)
Its nail bitingly close! Can't watch!
sh*t a marrow as we say in my country - I'm on tenterhooks
This is just to much, 14 all at full time
ARRRRRGH! What is the referee doing?!
Everytime the aussies make an error in the scrum england get penalised!
The Ref and #3 for England need to get a grip
Looking at the scrums it looks like Australia are lifting our guys so we get penalised :(
So who bribed the ref ?
Lets hope we can keep the 3 point lead we have at the min for the next 10 mins. We seem to have got it back together, come on lads you can do it !
ENGLAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wilko and his magic boot 20 - 17
YEEEEEESSS!!!!!!!! finally, we won summat!! time to get drunk metinks :D
YEEEEEEEEEEEES!
Jonny Wilkonson = HERO!
i should be happy , but im not rugby isnt my bag
but stil well done to england for once, euro 2k4 is next ;)
For once!
Rugby is the only sport in which England are world number 1, they have been at the top for over a year.
That was one hell of an extra 20 minutes
indeed - the action was there right untill the final whistle :)
\o/
WOOOOOOOOOO!!! What a win!!!
Theres only ONE JONNY WILKINSON! YEAHHHH! :D Is he all we got? He was all we needed! :P
Man that was tense. Good old England.
nah - rubbish -
he scored the points, but the rest of the team made it happen - gutted for Catt - would have been great for him if he'd made his drop.
I'm thinking talk to the bouncers in my local - any Pom wearing an English Rugby Jersey tonight must be able to successfully explain the difference between and ruck and a maul, and the offside rule before they're let in.
Too many "Rugby fans" out there who don't know the game. ;)
Great job by England - I was more nervous then than at any other time during the tourney! (Well, except for NZ v Aus!)
GO ON YOU ENGLAND!!!!Quote:

Well done England i am Italian so am neutral i watched the game dont know anything about Rugby but even i was tense. Cant wait for Euro 204!
FORZA AZZURRI!!!
That was a very painful match to watch but what a game :D
WP all of them and at last the ozzies will have to shut the hell up :D
The entire team are heroes, kudos especially to Neil Back and of course Martin Johnson.
Wilko would be nothing without his team mates.
That game was amazing and extremely tense.
Gits. I never got to watch it.... must get TV card for laptop......
What a match.
ENGLAND !!!!!! :D
Great match to watch, you could feel the tension. Welldone to Wilko, and great last match for Johnson to finsh on.
The Cup has finally come home :)
Great match...
however...
What rubbish. He set up a brilliant try and did some excellent kicking. He is a true star along with Martin Johnson.Quote:

Ben
Its good to be English.
Only a couple of things annoyed me. The ref, he penalized martin Johnson for diving on the ball when it was knocked forward, but not the aussie when they knocked it forward.
That props handling, when we could have scored, all he had to do was catch it. Suppose we could put that down to nerves.
The prop who didnt have his socks pulled up. That annoyed the hell out of me!!
Well done England :)
Will
The ref was terrible , he had a bee in his bonnet about the english front row , he didnt penalise the ozzy front row once in the entire game when they were the cause of most of the problems in the scrums :(
Man I am VERY hungover.
and its not even morning yet :D
It is in Oz, where Ben obviously has been participating in a very rare reverse sport - 'Ozzie baiting'.
Its about time England won something!
The best kicker in the world would be nothing without his team mates? Which substance were you smoking?Quote:

My meaning was that he would have little impact on a game if his team mates did not get him into a position where he could make his kicks. Its no good putting the world greatest kicker onto the pitch if the rest of the team are unable to get the ball into the opposition half, and apply enough pressure so that the opposition concede a penalty.
Yes he is a great player no doubt about it and his kick undoubtedly won the cup for england, but don't forget the other 14 players on the pitch who put him in the position where he could make that drop goal.
