I'm really looking forward to it....fingers crossed for the England Team

Not the start we all hoped for, I dont think the TV coverage has been very good, the BBC do it much better, and no adverts.

I must say I don't understand all the fuss about Englands game, I'd have thought that in the early stages against weaker opposition, you do enough to secure the win. Which was what they did! The Australia game was awful to watch, in fact I didn't watch it all, I got about 3/4 through it. It was a humiliation fest, akin to watching kittens being clubbed with a baseball bat. New Zealand too! Argueably the two best teams in world Rugby, they really didn't have to embarrass their opposition in that way! Best so far...Seeing Argentina kick the mighty France, square in the nuts!!!!!

Yes best of luck to the England side, though to be honest I don't fancy their chances after recent results and performances.



Just a quick good luck to the ladies footy team at the World Cup too, let's see if they can do what the guys haven't for sooooo long!! :-6
