[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 155257"] Flukes? What's that old saying? "The harder we work the luckier we seem to get". True This WC has been a triumph of pragmatism over flair but when you are second best you need to play to your strengths....that's fundamental. If the 'superior' opposition can't take the game by the scruff of the neck and let their quality tell then that is their problem. In rugby you need to have a plan b, when the going gets tough the tough get going. NZ and Australia were found wanting, the former were too cavalier & didn't have back-to-basics mechansisms to wrestle the game from France the latter simply just weren't physically strong enough to match England. Both ways it's them who are culpable. [/QUOTE]
