Default Australia through to Final!!

this should bolster England against France, as they psychologically have been matched with New Zealand all along..

Aussie have now won 12 World Cup games on the trot - not having lost since 1995! (They were beaten by England).

For any Pom meeting a crowing Aussie, DEFLECT the scorn by rubbishng the All Blacks - join in, eh?

If England got through to the final and then lost, well then we would never hear the end of it.

On arriving in Australia, I can say - well, it's why i left England.

Look on the bright side, there would be nothing better than beating the Aussies in the final. England may have been a little below par of late but we've still won all our games by more than ten points. And it's still the same team that has dominated world rugby over the last 12 months.

Two wins and we'll have something to crow about for a while.

I was gutted to see how NZ just choked!!

Straight from the off, they just were going at it like a normal game, not the Semi-final of the World Cup.

The Aussies were up for it, and credit were its do, they were playing with determination and grit. England won;t have a better chance to win it now, but the French have peaked at the right time, so should be great game.

But as for the Kiwis, wouldn't want to be there when they get back to NZ:scared:

NZ now have the title of chokers BIG TIME.

(More so than England, I would say). ;-)

I will be supporting the England TEAM as I have been watching them all my life - but if Australia win, I'll be happy for my new COUNTRY.

I couldn't believe how psyched up the Wallabies were fo this match. They played amazingly well and I think (grudgingly) we have to give them the credit for stopping NZ from getting in thier stride.

I hope we stuff the french because if we do our next door neighbour is having a final party and although I'll be supporting England all the way I'm still gonna go round in my Wallabies shirt and wind a few people up!!

I have to say that although I don't really care that much for sport I most definitely want England to beat France and then beat the Wallabies.
Just so I can gloat at work.
The guys in the office are always prepared to gloat when England have been beaten at something by Aus. Usually they just get blank stares from me because I was not even aware that whatever match they are talking about was even going on - that tends to piss them off.

But for the Rugby I made the mistake early on of mentioning that I thought England could win the cup and have had to put up with some stick. If we beat them I will be dragging it up in conversation for months.

No win situation, england win and you get resented.
Aus win and you get crucified.

It's stuffing the Frogs that matters now. To put people in the mood go to www.google.co.uk and type in 'French military victories' in the search box. Then click on 'I'm feeling lucky' and go on from there. Tis most amusing.

Please God, let it be France to win the World Cup.

There is only one thing worse than a gloating Australian and that is a gloating Englishman.
Oh and France have been very impressive all the way through...

Allez France!!!!!
