UK Time kick off.

Saw the Argies in their one and only warm up game against Wales and was suprised how good they looked with ball in hand and playing a running game.

All England need is a coach with a bit of bottle to pick a few flair players instead of over rated ex rugby league players.

Where's Cipriani these days ?

I wondered how the ref. had such good French, it was because he is, wasn`t it, aye no?

Oz

Well get him back and build from there.


Sequestor , he speaks it fluent as a native ... his father's French.

England's world cup was over when Big Ted got injured.

Rugby World Cup 2011: IRB to assess Warren Gatland cheat claim

The International Rugby Board is to review Warren Gatland's claim he considered cheating in Wales' defeat by France in the World Cup semi-finals.

Gatland admitted he considered asking a prop to fake an injury, which would have led to uncontested scrums.

That would have helped Wales, as their pack was already a man down following the dismissal of captain Sam Warburton.

Welsh Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis said Gatland should actually be praised for choosing not to claim a fake injury though.

"Warren Gatland should be applauded in this professional era where tough things and tough decisions are made that he didn't go into that particular zone," said Lewis.

Wales Rugby Union chief executive Roger Lewis praises Gatland's honesty
"That was something that was considered and the guys said 'we are not going there'.

"In professional sport there is always an opportunity to manipulate the laws and that opportunity could have presented itself.

"But we did not go there and I think it is a tribute to Warren that he honestly expressed that. Warren Gatland is a brutally honest rugby coach. He is a very serious thinker and he tells it as he sees it.




While on the other hand ...




The former England coach Dick Best has told the BBC he is amazed Gatland did not cheat, as it goes on all the time in the sport.

... says it all .

What the IRB gonna charge him with ... not cheating ?

lol

Henson has signed for Cardiff.

Good luck Cardiff....what an absolute tosser that bloke is!!

Does than mean he will be in Church more often!

I would be :-)

header updated with NZ flag !!

Er, come on you All Blacks.

Nice forward pass from the Welsh - but a try nevertheless :-)

Aussies have it sown up after that last try !

We were winning til we brought bloody Jones on !

Well he wants to give all the

losers players a game

:-)

Bad luck Dil.

Good God!

The 'media darlings' can't even beat Aussie reserves. Even England with all their issues can beat them. Warburton has a lot to answer for for even putting himself into a position of getting himself sent-off.

Never cheered for an Aussie side before but I have to admit it was a pretty good feeling.

Why Jones though , 104 caps and he's still as fecking useless as when he got his first :)
