Your boys took one hell of a beating today!!!!!

 

not quite the world cup though is it mate?

 

The rate we're goin we won't even get there

 

not quite the world cup though is it mate?

pfft, that was a fluke.

 

And lucky we scored with only 30 seconds left
Or the Aussies would've slapped a try on us and that'd be that

 

I get it... and enjoy the fact that I'm included in the list.

 

*Slides out of thread totally bemused*

 

11-9. Close game, but if your going to put 11 year olds in your team, you got to expect to get beaten.

In case your wondering STF, its a rugby match i'm referring to. Wales vrs England.

Wales won!

Or to put it a more satisfying way, Wales won and England LOST!

I got to make this one count, god knows when the next time we'll beat the Imperial dogs!

 

Well you guys gave us Kiwis a scare back in the world cup. It's about time you had a good win.

 

We don't really have the population to be a consistantly top team, but if we get the right players and keep our heads together, then it is more than possible that we could win the 6 nations championship.

France looked terrible today, Scotland are in one of the worst runs ever, England still haven't got over their world cup hangover and Ireland...... Hmmm Ireland, they could easily win it this year.

What ever happened to the good old days when Ireland were the Nolan sisters of the northern hemisphere?

 

We should have won that bloody cup.

Yeah, I haven't got over it yet.

 

Don't worry Zac, soon you will have your revenge, soon you will reveal yourself to the Jed... Err, English.

I find it amazing that New Zealand have never won the world cup. They should have won it back in 95, but for some strange reason they lost it??

There are stories that Lomu was drugged before the game against France. Funny, they also said the same thing about Ronaldo in the football world cup, when he played.... Against France.

See a pattern forming here?

 

Hey we won the very first world cup!

Back in '87... so long ago now.

Infact there's major concern among rugby circles over there. NZ is at risk of falling behind as larger countries are starting to pump all their wealth into rugby, such as European countries and even America.

They should have won it back in 95, but for some strange reason they lost it??

Oh yeah, the infamous food poisoning plot.

 

Oh yeah, 87. Duh! Sorry about that. It was so long ago, it slipped my mind totally.

Didn't Wales finish 3rd in that championship?

I bet that if we were to find out just half the stuff that has gone on down the years regarding major sporting events, it would make us go insane.

I can just imagine all the wrongs that have been committed down the years in sporting event. From the Russia vrs USA ice hockey final in the 82 olympics, countless cases of footballers taking "bungs" to throw games, certain French racing drivers stealing their Brummy team mates Ferrari becuase it was faster, dubious decisions by refs that have changed the course of matches and seasons and don't even get me started on the boxing situation!!

Remember when Foreman won the title when he was 45 by "knocking" out his rival without actually punching him! Or what about the first time Lewis fought Hollyfield and the female judge ruled for Hollyfield, claiming that she couldn't see the fight from her ringside position!!!!!!

The list goes on and on.

 

"There are stories that Lomu was drugged before the game against France. Funny, they also said the same thing about Ronaldo in the football world cup, when he played.... Against France.

Heh, the French. Nuff said.

 

I wouldn't say "beating". Its not as if the boyos won by a large margin.

 

But they really should have

 

I see I'm in that list too.....

 

They should have but didn't. That says alot about the quality of Wales and the defence of England.

 

WALES! WALES!

it's been a long time coming, we've been so close to beating so many of the top teams in the world recently, i didn't stop bouncing around all night until i had to go to work in a Cardiff nightclub and clean up after all the drunk Wales fans

Henson's got a better boot than that sicknote you English keep going on about and he's not even the number 10

 

He was the only reason that England won the World Cup

 

I agree he is an outstanding player, but being out for all this time with injuries, you have to ask if England shouldn't start looking for a replacement that will be in the team week in, week out.

As they say, your only as good as your last match....

That is why Wales rule the world!

 

So it would seem
We'll have to see if Wales do better then England in the Football friendlies.

I think they might, Holland are a tough team.

 

Barkley was impressive yesterday, i've never rated him that highly at international level but he changed the whole face of the game and nearly swung it for England
