World Cup Final
So, the world cup is in the northern hemisphere now. Saturday was such an emotional rollercoaster. I started watching the game supporting Australia, simply because they’re in our hemisphere and ‘downunder’ and ANZAC, etc etc. But after watching George Gregan for about ten minutes I quickly turned into an England supporter. (OK, it wasn’t quite a roller coaster). Maybe it’s the fact he just does not stop talking to the ref for the entire game, maybe it’s the fact I could lip read what he yelled at Kelleher in the semi, or maybe it’s simply because he looks like a chocolate covered scorched almond, whatever it is, I just can’t stand him. I can’t say I was happy to see the Poms kissing the cup (in fact it sickened me), but it was better than seeing any Aussie hold it. The Poms were deserved victors. Interesting statistic: The English ended the tournament scoring one less try than the Aussies. Nobody can say they played boring rugby. Let’s face it, the ABs wouldn’t have had a show of winning that game if they were there. Not enough experience, not enough big forwards and nobody who can kick drop goals. The English are definitely the best side in the world.

best side in the world? yeah probably. I’d still like to have seen us vs them in the final. I think that would have been a great game. I think we would have run past them on the sides and scored a few. They don’t seem to stretch out as far in their defence as compared to how they aussies did in the semi. But maybe I am wrong. You are right that NZ does not have the experience. Nice to see the new Tui advert: “We don’t need Mehrts. Yeah right.” AND (spot the wellington guy) I still think that Cullen would have made a big difference AND Umanga should have played in the semi. After setting us up for a chance, I think Mitchell killed it.
Q. What do you call 15 guys sitting around the T.V watching the Rugby World Cup final?
A. The All Blacks
yeah – go the poms
when was the last time a world cup final wasn’t won with a drop goal? never?
It is because of women that we didn’t win the world cup. They know everything about everything so they’re put in charge of running the country. Obviously they don’t know anything about rugby so we lose. When was the last time you saw Aussie with a female in the top job?? NEVER!!!!
Classic…. that was so sexist. (actually swiped it from that new Eating Media Lunch programme)
“The English are definitely the best side in the world. Discuss.”
Amen! But what is left to discuss?
A happy Pom :-)
Dave, I think the Pom’s defence would’ve stretched for us.
Very funny joke Alwin.
