Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread
Scotland did well, but ultimately did not have the gas to finish England off. England are one of the best teams at playing world cup rugby, and know what it takes to win and controlled the 2nd half. Scotland had not finished them off after 60mins and this was always going to come back and bite them.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread
Reminds me of the Australian /Brumby? side of the turn of the century..knew how to win...England are sneered at but they know how to win and have that self-belief despite their own press. And there is talk of the Scot prop not binding / squaring up properly hence the first half scrums..the Scots were being driven backwards in the second half ..Wilko missed penalties but they were at the extreme of his range.

Re: Rugby World Cup 2011 Thread
It's got to be a location thing, because I've had no problem using Expat Shield or Tunnel Bear to get the ITV feed going pretty smoothly in full screen, does take a minute or so before it starts streaming though and Expat shield would take a while to connect during a game, so would have to get it on a while before the game.

[QUOTE=BadgeIsBack;9654086]And if they get past France, why not? then they could clinically get past Ireland or Wales - even unleashing the backs with a Flood and then Wilkinson substitution. It's crazy: the England backs ain't bad.

eh
beg to differ old boy, but didn't NZ knock England out in the 1995 semi? Pretty certain one Jonah Lomu trampled all over us that day, although we did "win", the second half
