[QUOTE="Not Eddie Jones, post: 959893, member: 81025"] Sorry, my mistake, I meant the 2011 World Cup opener. And NZ were at home in that one. Okay, how about England in 2003 having a helluva a lot of trouble seeing off Samoa in the pool stage? England were actually behind in that one midway through the 2nd half, but that game was no guide to England's chances of lifting the cup. England are damned if they do and damned if they don't in these games. Rack up a huge score and everyone says it doesn't count because the opposition were rubbish; fail to rack up a huge score and it's all doom and gloom. England didn't play their best today, but we know they can go up several gears, we've seen this team do it before. I'm just not going to put too much weight on a World Cup pool opening game against Tonga. (Sorry Tonga:oops:). [/QUOTE]
