[QUOTE="Bullitt, post: 155846"] I would be happy with a low scoring game if it was a matter of the defense being good yet England don't even try to run the ball, that is what most people don't like...even if they scored 40 points a game the way they are playing people would still be complaining, although the way England are playing the game it would be near on impossible to score 40 points... [/b][/quote] Maybe so, but what they [b]ARE [/b]doing (although God only knows how) is playing rugby which reaches World Cup finals. You can bleat and **** up the wall all you want down in Australasia about "boring rugby" or "no running", but people only ever remember results... History will remember them getting to the final when everybody were written off before a ball was even kicked, going an Australian team teams who pride themselves on <strike>insulting the game of Rugby Union by not having anthing even nearly resembling a pack</strike> "looking good and running it". Then going through a French side who punished the Kiwis for insisting on keeping it pretty instead of playing rugby and winning the game. If you want to watch pretty game, go watch the BaaBaas or Harlem Globetrotters. If you want a competitive game, pull your head out of your arse and realise that this time the forwards style won the clash. There is room in the world for different styles of play. [/QUOTE]
