oh yeh, that's why they were so awesome earlier in the year when they played nz and australia...right?Tim said:I wouldn't say France are that much better than England. France are woeful outside of France whereas England can be competitive where-ever they travel.
Good to see you taking an interest in Union Simonbroncoman said:but this year is the only way to tell, England are nowhere near as good now as they were when they won the world cup....
yeah well i was basing it more on a respectable performance against the wallabies last week and to a lesser extent being completely ruthless against japan.Tim said:Don't think for a minute that Scottish rugby is back on track after a 100 point demolition of Japan. Canada & Japan have turned up in Europe to be the whipping boys of Italy & Scotland...I hate to think how they'd go against France, Australia, NZ etc.
i don't think you can blame the change of english rugby fortunes on one man, their style of 10 man rugby with the perfect sort of players to suit that style of play in numbers 1-10 was tough to get the better of and i think that is emphasised by the fact that no one did.Tim said:I think that just proves how good a leader Martin Johnson was...

Wilkinson is a big loss - but Johnson is even bigger IMO, an awesome leader.nibbs said:Obviously Wilkinson made no difference at the world cup huh? It was all Marty Johnson wasn't it? How could've I forgotten?...silly me
