Re: Nice one England
 

Not a pretty game to watch, but the tenacity of the English players won out in the end.


Bring on the final!!

Re: Nice one England
 

I closed my eyes for the last 20 mins and they won. Woopee! The OH alwas says I botch it if I watch?!

Re: Nice one England
 

Good result for England and a really good turn around but really really ugly rugby, and an even better case for League being a better rule!

Re: Nice one England
 

Just one more example of the North being superior.

Re: Nice one England
 

Complete neutral here, who after reading an interesting debate on a Soccer forum this morning decided to watch both big games tonight and make my own decision.

Absolutely no question - League wins hands down - the 2nd game in France was a disgrace. One team gets the ball and wellies it down the other end - they catch it and then welly it back.... and then somebody kicks it in touch....and then they throw it back in and then lie on the ground hiding it...... and then when it pops back out welly it back in touch.

At least at Old Trafford the ball was in play for most of the game.

Sorry LB I'll stick to my F1 and Footy and the occasional Rugby League game. Union is shocking.

ps. Hope we win though next week. ;)

Re: Nice one England
 

Mate, that is rugby which get's results. Piss on the pretty boys throwing the ball around and looking flash.

Forward grunt.

Indomitable spirit.

Cast iron guts and balls.

And an iron chin.

Rugby warriors!!

I am so proud of the boys!:wub:

cos they is legends!

Re: Nice one England
 

Now you beginning to talk some sense. You may get notification of this thread cos your post will have gone through the shite post scanner and come out smelling of roses :lol:

Re: Nice one England
 

My OH has the highest grade of rugby league coaching you can get in the UK (only he lives in Spain now). When I met him he had just stopped playing and was coaching so Ive watched league for 20 years. Union just seems so bland at the side of a hard game like league.

Yesterday was a nightmare....we had footie, then rugby league, then rugby union :eek:

Re: Nice one England
 

Not that silly game where they keep bending over and chucking balls through their legs.

Re: Nice one England
 

Nah, give me union any day - league is for pretty boys! :) League is really boring. :eek: I can't get into it.

Re: Nice one England
 

I wasn't making a statement just asking a question.


It was a good result, and quite unexpected on all counts so credit to them, but as a game of rugby it was atrocious..........but as you said, it got the game won, and if the Boks don't get turned over (and anything is possible) it is exactly the same way to play against them.


There is a win, then there is an ugly win, and I PERSONALLY prefer a running game, that's all.

Re: Nice one England
 

Having previously told our friend here that is staying with us that England were going to get a sound thrashing at the hands of French immensity ......... I am eating humble pie :o

Re: Nice one England
 

Welcome to my next 4 years mate!

Re: Nice one England
 

I'm glad I wasn't the only one

Re: Nice one England
 

Problem is that if I say anything I get accused of being a sore loser.

Tonight's game should be a good one, and at least with either SA or the Pumas in there will be some decent rugby in the final.

Re: Nice one England
 

I'm now officially neutral, I just want to be entertained, that's not too much to ask, is it?

Re: Nice one England
 

It would appear so, an ugly win is an ugly win as far as some teams are concerned.


as much as it pains me, to see Habana run the pitch and just keep accelerating was a marvel.

Re: Nice one England
 

I have just conducted a scientific experiment and hung out some washing, I then counted all the red, white and blue pegs to represent England's score, all the green and yellow SA, therefore the final score will be 24 - 23 to England. Unfortunately 24 is divisible by 3 so all England's points will come from kicks!!

Re: Nice one England
 

The thing is that SA can score tries from anywhere, and they can play a tight game with very little visible exhaustion.

The only risk as far as I can see is if they have some of their stars taken out, because their replacements are not nearly as good as their rivals.

Re: Nice one England
 

You're a sore loser

Listen, I already said England didn't stand a chance against the French, so I'm keeping my mouth shut on the subject :)
