Re: England v India, who is going to win
I don't support Australia in many sports but Rugby Union is one i don't begrudge them winning in except against England or Wales. When you consider just how small a sport RU is in Australia it has an incredible record.

Re: England v India, who is going to win
Fair comment, they did seem pretty laid back against Samoa, might be the kick they need before the World Cup.

I suggested Phil Tufnell on the FoxSports site, that's about as much credibility as it deserves.
I like the 'All Time Ashes, Australia 4 England 0' angle, that shows how desperate the Aussies are ...

Re: England v India, who is going to win
I used to feel the same way about the Wannabies until I came to this country and witnessed the amazing biaise and shithouse coverage of the 2003 RUWC. Those Channel7 sports commentators/Ex-players were something else and immediately turned me off being happy to see the Wannabies win. They were so arrogant you had to see it to believe it
