England can't play!!

[Auckland4ever]

Thats a shame(seriously).
Is Dallaglio the English Monty? Good call about Johnson, SpaceMonkey. Its been a while since I've seen an English side lose so much composure.

Even better call! :lol: I reckon so. Only difference is Monty can actually fight.

England WERE the best side in the world, but thats now in the past. Im not sure about Australia beating them, but the Kiwis were awesome and are the best side in the world atm, no doubt.

That is a shame about Wilkinson, if true. Whether you thought he was a good all round player or not, I felt he was a class player who had made himself the best at what he does. And he seemed like an admirable person and good representative of his sport.

England will have to re-build for the next WC anyway. In the short term they would be better right now if Jason Robinson was playing; in the longer term they'll have to develop a new core of players.

If Wilkonson plays their half a chance other than that their pretty tame

haha, just a dodgy rumour...we shall see.....

 

[Dr Crane]

He plays all facets of the game rather than goalkicking

Wilkinson makes plays, kicks goals, tackles...do you want me to go on?

 

[Dirty Hoe]

no more needs to be said

do i need to say it again??????

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Another day, another dicking. How the mighty have fallen, and how quickly. At least the Tri-Nations & Bledisloe should be good.

 

[skeepe]

While England will be world champions for another 3 and a bit years, I truly believe that the winner of the Tri-Nations will have the right to be called the best team in the world. England's last 3 matches proved that.

Well AUS won 51 - 15 last night Vs. "The best in the world" england.

So, shut up, OZ haters.

 

[Rustay]

Oh, that was enjoyable to watch. I havent seen our backs play that well, against decent opposition in ages. Roffy certainly doesnt look like someone coming to the end of his career, and Rathbone showed just how much we need Wendell...not at all.

England were very average though.

 

[choc_soldier]

I only found out the score this morning. :shock:

I had to verify it.

WOO HOO! \\/

Bring on the All Blacks...

 

[ozbash]

it came as a surprise to me as well.
i thought england would give the aussies a real go.
who reffed it ?

bring on the tri series/bledisloe.

I can't remember, but he obviously wasn't too fussed on the forward pass rule.

who reffed it ?

Some lowly kiwi who looked like a tubby Clive Woodward

Paddy O'Brien, who happens to have been one of the top ref's in world rugby for longer than I care to remember. Lowly Kiwi? Yeah right. As for the forward pass rule the interpretation of it seems to be pretty lax all round in Union internationals this year, there were plenty of borderline ball in the All Blacks matches. At least they're consistent.
