[QUOTE="Kent, post: 765873, member: 73507"] 1.Atmosphere and support - unbelievable, really kicked rugby on. 2. Japan and Argentina in particular, but the progress of others as well. 3. Nigel Ownes style of refeering and for giving us the quote when a Scottish player (i think) was diving at St James Park football stadium ''if you want to do that - come back in 2 weeks!" 4.The Australian chase from behind their 10 yard line vs Argentina - we''l see ,ore of this. 5. kick and gather - this is the best offensive weapon in my opinion for breaking up a game and done so well by so many: Mike Brown, Rob Kearney, Stuart Hogg, Kurtley Beale, Carter etc. 6. Have to put in Dan Biggars Macarena dance. THE BAD 1. WORLD IN UNION PERIOD. Don't care who sings it - i detest this mawkish horrible song, always have done - how it conjures up or epitomises the drama and thrill that is about to ensue - i have no idea. It is a bad hangover for ''the bloody nice blokes'' image of English rugby in particular way back. Get rid of it, and less have something more stirring. 2.LACK OF SINGING. would just like to hear so much more chanting from the terraces - SH definitley inferior here.

England failure. It would have been fantastic for them to reach the final - just in terms of taking the whole tournament to fever pitch. 4.Clock countdown and mexican waves - just think they belong at the circus or butlins. 5.Not being there.
