I would be neutral on this one but over and over I have had to listen to
big gob Campese talking about England on talk sport- the man is obsessed!
�It would be the worst thing for rugby, the worst thing for sport in general, if the Wallabies don't beat England,�
You said that in 1995 and in 2003 and it got you nowhere - Campese shut your mouth!
He's not got over being made a prat by the touring lions on his own turf in 1989.
It would be so good for England to win today! |

If England win today they will probably be hammered next week by the All Blacks...so maybe a win is not that good for them....getting hammered by SA without Jonny is bad, getting hammered with Jonny by NZ will kill England's morale
It's interesting how international rugby works...England can beat Aus today but they have no chance against the AllBlacks
Aus might lose today but they are one of two teams that has any chance against the All Blacks |

The English are the worst winners in the world.
I don't want them to win simply for the fact the world will have to put up with their over the top gloating for years to come.
For goodness sake, they still go on about winning the football World Cup in the 60s.
I NEVER thought I would be anxious to see the Australian rugby team win (as they are all inbred gorillas - and I get to say that because I'm Australian), but I'll be furious if they don't win tonight. |

I agree, however I don't think it a cinch for the All Blacks to beat France, France are a team when they turn it on can reduce the All Blacks to rubble. They are the only team in the northrn hemisphere to be able to give the All Blacks a game on a consistent basis. I'm looking forward to that game.
I think England have beaten the All Blacks twice in something like a 100 years. It's ridiculous.  |

I know what you are saying Natalia but the accusations of pompousity, poor sportsmanship, dirty play, gloating winners and bad losers are directed towards the Australians by the English.
And I go along with it too... you get it from somewhere!
Anyway, I thought you were Russian!  |

Argentina have been fantastic, the change over ball has been the best out of all the teams in the world cup. They are a legitimate threat to Sout Africa.
And the reason France are going out early is because of the arrogance of the IRB towards Argentinian rugby, it is about time they were given a place in the tri nations!
The All Blacks doing their haka in the caludron of the bombenera in Buenos Aires! now that would be a sporting spectacle! |

| 10-6 halftime. Billy Whizz missed two kicks, albeit a couple of toughies. Should be a cracker of a second half. I wish I had gotten more beer in. |

Who would have thought that? The scoreline should have been bigger if not for Wilko's uncharacteristically bad aim in front of the posts and the Australian forwards were poor, I have never seen such an inept Australian display, especially after the decent form they brought into
this game.
To be honest it was a poor Australian dispaly and a rugged English display and I wouldn't have predicted that.
Now... excuse me while I find some Australian blogs to rub some noses in!  |

I thought it was pretty entertaining though it was the worst Australian performance I have ever seen, I couldn't believe the Aussie front row were totally owned like that and both teams made lots of handling and
kicking errors.
England were fortunate that Australia never turned up today.
And I think France if they have their heads on right tonigt can spring
a similar shock on the All Blacks. |
