Only the one's that we win.

Eye on the prize this year. 3N is irrelevant.

When was the last time England beat SA?

Sounds like the Saffies missed a lot of kicks. All it needs is one loss from NZ which has happened at every world cup.

New Zealand for me.

14-9 Australia - S Africa last night.

Remember, the World Cup is a knockout tournament.

Agree that the 3N is a bit of a phony war - this year.

I remember when South Africa was the whipping boy and went down every time....the period lasted all of 3-4 years....

Sad as it is for everyone, the WC is not won in the 3N series.

England lose to Wales (who really are a shower of shit)!

Now that is real embarrassment.
