Fear the boots!...

Sorry to everyone in the US, since this will mean practically zilch to them

Hehe. I've been following the rugby quite closely and that wilkonson chap tooks like big trouble for us aussies. Damn him and his field goals

"Fear the boots" reminded me of the Simpsons episode where they travel to Australia and Homer steals the boot from and boots the respective prime minister/judge person.

I don't think England will win the RWC. They couln't score a try against us, and Australia has an even more aggressive defence ...

No offence to Aussies, but I'll not watch the match on saturday, because I sincerely think that it's going to be the worst final ever : strong defence and kick battle on both sides ...

Yeah, what happened with France? That rain must have had a huge impact on them I watched the France vs. Ireland and the thing I found was most impressive were France's kicks - they were so long and acurate, landing just outside the boundry then going out. Splendid

I'm not much of a rugby fan to be honest, over here rugby union's got the stereotype of being for public schoolboys. I only take notice at the World Cup really.

I think I'm just hoping for some revenge after years of being battered at the cricket and that 2-1 win against us in the football recently

Well, Michalak wasn't in a good day, Brusque (fullback) was as good as usual (ie really bad), and we did too much fouls to stand a chance ...

Man, 2 yellow cards are really too much at this level of the competition (and they were fully deserved)

I could argue about some weird referee decisions (like the 2 shoulder tackles by Wilkinson, or the head tackles that weren't spotted), but I wouldn't.

Wilkinson kicked better than Michalak under the rain, and England won ...

We'll win the next one in France

 CrazyGoon Nov 17, 2003
Yeah I think France got 0/4 penalties ... that's not to flash

Aaah, the sweet smell of smugness

Glad they managed to score a try to silence the crowd a bit. Even though it's probably going to go down as the second-greatest moment in British sport, I'm not sure if it was worth getting up at 8am on a Saturday for :lol:

Savor it while you can. It won't last.
