[QUOTE="stormmaster1, post: 153410"] You're kidding aren't you!! It's comments like that that explain why Southern Hemishpere people hate watching Northern Hemisphere teams play rugby. This game was ****. It was dull, boring and uneventfull. The only time the game came to life was when the Wallabies kept ball in hand and tried to run it, which England did all of 7 times in the whole match. England may well win this world cup, but if they do I put it to you they go QF, SF and F without scroting a try. This game was a reverse repeat of the 91 final. Australia tried to beat England at their own game and couldn't. They should have commited more to the breakdown, kept ball in hand and built pressure. Instead they kicked it away when they had momentum and numbers and tried to run it when they didn't. Basically, Aust were slightly more rubish than England, and if we, like England, were a one man team and had a decent kicker then we may well have won by 5 or 7. A nill all draw would have been a fitting result for this game, which in Australia was a great advertisment for Rugby League. PS; Q: What's the difference between he English football team and English rugby team?? A: The English rugby team can win a penalty shootout! [/b][/quote] Which team had the most try scoring opportunities on saturday? I'll give you a clue, they were wearing white.
