****ing shocking game management from England. Twice turned down kickable penalties when trailing by only six points trying for the glory shot.

Wobblies were impressive, but England were rank ordinary.

Huh.

Huh.

I literally cannot believe it. Not just beaten them, but destroyed them. Biggest win over the ABs ever and only the seventh in all test rugby between the two countries.

Need to build on this now and go forward and win the 6 nations. I see Wales blew it late against Australia as well. Good day then.

Hearing about England's destruction of New Zealand was like having sanctifying grace entering into my soul, renovating my being into a new creation, and having the heavenly Jerusalem unveiled before my eyes!

England destroyed them. Dan Carter can't believe it.

Stiff draw for England in the world cup tho, but.

2015 World Cup pools

Pool A: Australia, England, Wales, Oceania 1, play-off winner
Pool B: South Africa, Samoa, Scotland, Asia 1, Americas 2
Pool C: New Zealand, Argentina, Tonga, Europe 1, Africa 1
Pool D: France, Ireland, Italy, Americas 1, Europe 2


Oceania 1 will be Fiji, in all likelihood, so there's 4 very decent sides in Pool A.

Stiff draw for England indeed. Be a shame to see them going out before the quarters. It'll be like a FIFA World Cup!

Dream draw or Australia, never been troubled by either Wales or England of late or 3 years into the future when we run a Pocock/Hooper tandem.

Us and the Saffers have the easiest pools. By easiest I am judging this by the quality of the third ranked team in the pool.

Also Ocean1 is likely to be Fiji who are pretty decent.

Be an interesting call. The Smith/Waugh double-team effort against McCaw in the 2003 semi is proof the double openside thing can work too.

Think it shows the difference in philosophies between the our respective countries when we don't really play one at all. Haven't used a proper openside regularly since Back.

Think the Yarps' is a gimme, tbh. Asia 1 will be Japan and Americas 2 the US or (less likely) U-r-gay.
