[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 758878, member: 38640"] Well England only lost to Wales by one kick, and Australia beat Wales by 9 points in a very gutsy effort. Had Biggar missed his kick we would have been talking about Wales not making it out of the quarters. So in that case it is very much the pool of death - especially how England's chances of progressing were being rated by certain sections. Pool of death simply refers to the competitiveness and the quality of teams. I guess what you are arguing is that in your perception - most teams weren't living up to their pretournament hype. Which is fine. But unless you want to argue that England aren't in the top 8 teams in the world - then it is still a pool of death. [/QUOTE]
