If you don't understand read this and understand why the roads in the UK were very quiet this morning :-

If you are Australian do you now admit that they are not boring ?

Bit of a nailbiter - extra time and all that.

Sadly, Rugby is one of the mainstream sports that we are good at and it only really gets noticed if a) there is a good looking player or b) the opposition are either Australian, New Zealanders or South Africans.

I think that the Aussie team should wander round to the Sydney Telegraph and ask them to explain what they were thinking of. The best way to get our players to do well is to suggest that they are not up to the job.

Congrats to England.

Yep.... congrats to all the lads - very tense game - both sides played well - makes up for the disappointment of 1995 - Johhny for sports personality of the year? - and give the geezer some money.......

Jonny Wilkinson, loved by the English, hated by the rest of the world.

At one moment yesterday I thought that we were going to beat the Aussies by more than we beat Wales, sadly it was not to be !
