CB aren't you being generous to the English here. I would rate them 5th (behind three southern hemisphere teams and France) based on the severe thrashing they got recently.

You would too, since the Springboks did in fact win the TRI-NATIONS this year.

Well, that just proves how much I'm interested in union.

That'd be a first

Wouldn't you be more likely to get the flame-war you seem to have your heart set on if you posted such messages on a RUGBY website?

As an Englishman living in God's country (Oz) let me ask you all a question. How many here know of Union let alone play it? I'll give you a hint. Of the four codes, Rules, Soccer, League and Union, Union comes last by a fair margin. That alone makes it amazing the Oz can even compete with anbody let alone All Blacks etc.

And also makes their Football failings even funnier

 

[cricketfan]

Well when 75% of the population has never heard of Union they are not going to worry about it are they?

haha, I was waiting for this! Ahhhhh, we beat you!

 

[skeewee]

I'm just glad the aussies did not make it at the end of the day england has been the best odi side this season so they deserve it, and the Australian need to look at developing new players, coz in the rugby and the cricket their old guys can't do it anymore... By the way WE won the Tri-nations... just reminding you..

Nope, sorry - we have been one of the worst ODI sides this season, incapable of reaching the final of a triangular tournament in our own country.

Hahahaha,

Ahhhh, thanks for that - I always need a good laugh in the morning.

First its rugby and now its cricket - we Poms love whooping your hairy Oz butts so bend over and take the thrashing you deserve !!!

Roll on next summer and be afraid............be very afraid

And then enjoy getting whipped on your hairless posteriors by the Windies !!

Not forgotten, but taken in context (how many players either didn't go or were knackered?)

So Marc would I have valid claim if i turned around and said England only beat us 3-0 in the Npower Test series earlier this year because all our good players were getting injured all the time?

 

[luckyeddie]

I guess Saturday means we don't get to see Oztamer again.

It certainly didn't make England's job any harder.

I've never denied that that did make a large impact on the series, to be fair.

 

[cbuts]

we have always got injuries. we should be used to it by now
