cheers
P.S... I've got it in for the Wallabies since they knocked Wales out in the last cup, in the quarters... dirty game!!!! Charvis was punched... it took two Aussies to hold him, and Kefu to punch (3 on 1)the last try was not a try .. grrr.
Anyway .. just to point out one more thing... Wales got to the same level as England in the last world cup. wales was knocked out by the Aussies, and I think England was knocked out by the All Blacks... both quarter final games. Ireland didn't get out of it's pool matches... knocked out straight away. Don't write off Wales too soon... we can play like Cr*p on a bad day, and play excellent on a good day.
The 6 nations come's to mind... not last one , 98 I think (can't remember the date now)... Wales beat England, stopping them from getting the Grand slam.. and Hence Scotland won the 6 nations... points diff. England were not happy chappies ... We beat them in extra time ... about 2 minutes to go.
cheers
Anyway I recon .. world cup 2003 , the Aussies will not be in the final this time. People have caught on to their dirty tactics

The Aussies at work today have been very humble for a nice change , give it until the second test starts Thursday, God do we have to play that silly game its a farce we could without.
The Millennium Stadium is one of the best in the World a fitting stage for your lads lets hope that the Red Dragon will rise again , good luck.

I hope it will be any of us who get to the final.. wales, England, Scotland or Ireland... of course I want Wales to do the deed. But let's hope for a Brit team in the final.
P.S
I've got that match on tape... where Wales beat England
..." I love it"... very funny! My mum recorded it for me and sent it to me here.It's a very worn, well played tape

Most Brits will get behind any British team that makes the Final , got a feeling the Irish could do well they are playing out of their skin right now.

I guess you could say that my bro is English and loves his home and his people. Is there anything wrong with that? I don't think so.

yip,
The thing I find with British Rugby... unlike soccer, there is no hooligans, no trouble in the stands, you can sit next to the opposition fan, it's friendly!. The fighting is on the pitch, not in the stands.
In Australia there has been Rugby hooligans.
cheers

You are very off right now Rose, not got anything to do with yet another great win for the England rugby side .

Heaven forbid they ever suffer a boring home defeat, for England's supporters are presently being spoon-fed caviar for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Within the England dressing room, though, a 17th successive win on their own turf and a record third success in a row over Australia are not the statistics that matter most.

I agree
I too, love my home and my people. And that includes the 25% of australians born elsewhere, many of whom are...gasp.....english.
But why does loving home and people mean you have to vacuously bad mouth another country and its people. And why do you unquestioningly report his bad mouthing of oz.
Oz is a most complex interweaving of cultures. We know pretty much all there is to know about why people migrate. And rather too much about the depths of human cruelty and why people have to flee their homes. Oz has accepted 6 million migrants since 1948. 600,000 of these are refugees. The Jewish, Cambodian, Vietnamese people here are mainly refugees. They have a particular need to find "a place in the sun" and I am not talking about leaving an english winter.
If this is what your brother calls "shite" then he wasted his year with us.

If you put all the sports together in Australia, you still would not come anywhere close to the amount of violence at the soccer games in UK. Now there is a bunch of hooligans!!!!!

I'm not sure quite how the royal 'we' know so much about the depths of human cruelty or so much about why people migrate.
It must an agonising burden to transcend the world of everyday folk and maintain buoyancy when so heavily saturated with such a dense symposium of human anguish, truly you have my heartfelt sympathy.

Where people drink to excess and bake in the sun you will find short tempers and Australia has its far share of yobs .

They are well organised thugs (almost like a radical political party), they get banned from leaving the country to watch matches in other countries... anyway the point is.. they are English soccer hooligans... not UK hooligans.

The welsh hatred for the English is famous in the football world.Cardiff versus Leeds last year (I think) in the F.A cup was almost abandoned due to the racial hatred thrown at the black Leeds players.
A recent undercover investigator broadcast a program about the welsh hooligans & what they got up to-they travelled to English football games for the proverbial punch ups.
I also remember an England versus Ireland football match abandoned a couple of years back-whose fault,no-ones sure.
Celtic & Rangers matches have a sinister reputation,just to name one fixture.
My point is,yes England does have a hooligan reputation (unfair some might say),but the rest of the Isles are no angels.
