    Nah I'm with James on this one...sorry Jedi and Happy..

    I remember going to watch Fiji vs Australia this year and i was bored out of my mind...yes we totally kicked butt but it wasn't an exciting game of rugby to watch. I ended up wishing Fiji would score a try to make it more interesting.

    Same deal with some of the pool matches in the Cup. It's not fun to watch any team steam roll another even if it is your team winning. I'd rather watch a nice competitive game any day.

    But with the greatest respect to Fiji, this wasn't really a competitive match as it didn't form part of any tournament, worthwhile or otherwise.

    So that would be (in no particular order):

    South Africa
    England
    France
    Argentina
    Scotland

    Scotland qualify for this auspicious group by being the last team to be knocked out of the quarter-finals and therefore are credited with 5th spot in the RWC!!!

    PS: if there was a play-off for 7th v 8th in the RWC, what would it be played for?.........The Bledisloe Cup!!!!!

    England for the RWC07.....they battered the Aussies into submission and then the French waved the white flag (quelle surprise).......bring on the 'Boks!!! England are playing rugby in its purest form.

    Regardless if your team plays boring rugby, if they win the beers taste better.

    i like to see a great close game of rugby but we need the boks to steam roll england so the poms shut up.

    if one team doesnt dominate this game it will be a game of soccer.

    with the greatest of respect to our good buddy Luke - the only time he would know a boring game of rugby is if one of his Rugby Loving mates told him it was.

    A win is a win. Take the good with the bad. But Boring Rugby is Boring Rugby and I hope for the sake of Running Rugby that the Springboks spank the daylights out of the poms.

    The only way that Chariot will take them Home is with a call out from the RAC.

    England rugby practice was delayed for two hours this afternoon after a player reported finding a white powdery substance on the practice ground. Head coach Ashton immediately suspended practice while the police were called to investigate. After a complete forensic search Scotland Yard determined that the white stuff which was unknown to the players was in fact the try line. Practice was continued as police were happy the players were unlikely to encounter the substance again.
