I guess without celebrations of an England victory, other methods of entertainment can be considered.
it was pretty poor but the best team throughout the cup won it.
still don't have a clue how england got to the final though.
doesn't make any sense getting beat by everyone and then reaching a world cup final.
fair play to them though, i wish ireland could've done the same.

Plus, if they had allowed that try, the game would have taken a very different turn with England ahead and africa having to fight for the points.

Originally posted by Tyrannosauruschexthat makes sense, it has pretty much been 4 years of disappointment though, the aus and france results came from nowhere.

i still don't think it was a try, his foot appears to touch the line before the ball touched down, wouldn't have been surprised if it had been given though.
do you think they'll start playing a bit in the 6 nations now or go back to the team that was losing to ireland and france every year?
