    So who do you reckon will win? I think England will win, and we may even score a try or two (Shock Horror!) Of course that's if the Aussies don't decide to cripple Wilkinson first. LOL Michael 'Logic, my dear Zoe, merely enables one to be wrong with authority.' - The Doctor: The Wheel in Space

    If it rains (and it looks like it will), I think you will win. And as a French man, I find it unbearable to say so. But it is really unlikely you score a try... I am really in two minds about who to support. Usually, it is easy: France and the team that plays England. But this time, the australian game is so boring that I may flinch. Well may the better team win. It is a pity that no attacking team got to the final. NZ were impressive against France yesterday (we played our B team and we did not care, but their passing was awesome). Good luck anyway!

      Why when france Lose it's always their B team. Can't the A team just play all the time? England Thrashed them in the Six Nations and it was said france was playing there B team. What's the french excuse for the A team losing to England..:)

            Worse than British Rail! But, for all that they are not the worst whingers. No, that honour must go to the Australians, and what do they whinge about most. Whinging bloody Poms! I ask you, is there no justice in the world. If England win this weekend, I might drink myself to death, go out on a high so to speak… Here endth the Friday Rant!

                I think they will and I want them to, rather than England. I think they play a more interesting game, which is not saying much but it is better than Englands. Joke: The England team's training session was delayed today for nearly two hours at Telstra Stadium. One of the players, while on his way back to the dressing room happened to look down and notice a suspicious looking, unknown white powdery substance at the end of the field. Coach Clive Woodward immediately suspended practice while the Police were called in to investigate. After a complete field analysis, the Police determined that the white substance, unknown to the players, was the try line. Practice was resumed when the officials decided that it was unlikely that the team would encounter the substance again. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.

                                No other Nation is restrained, I see no reason to be. I say ruck the buggers into the ground like a plow. Rip their arms off. Kick them out of the game with 12 drop goals...:)

                                        If it rains (and it looks like it will), I think you will win. And as a French man, I find it unbearable to say so. But it is really unlikely you score a try... I am really in two minds about who to support. Usually, it is easy: France and the team that plays England. But this time, the australian game is so boring that I may flinch. Well may the better team win. It is a pity that no attacking team got to the final. NZ were impressive against France yesterday (we played our B team and we did not care, but their passing was awesome). Good luck anyway!

                                          Why when france Lose it's always their B team. Can't the A team just play all the time? England Thrashed them in the Six Nations and it was said france was playing there B team. What's the french excuse for the A team losing to England..:)

We won a grand Slam in 2002, England did in 2003, let's see what happens in 2004.
