10 debutantes in the team covers the unglamorous scoreline then, good call.
jsut read the first page of the thread and so this, its a line Dilly Dally came out with a few times and is completely inaccurate, first time they have played in a world cup but all the team have plenty of experience of playing for England apart from the token Samoan. Almost as good a his line "England come into this game on good form having won all their matches" apart from the ones they lost obviously...

I thought Lawes was out of order the first time i saw that. Another angle and its right on the bonse.

Oh my, not a bit of rough play in a game of rugby? Whatever next?

violence is part of the appeal for players and spectators.
I guess the line between what it punishable and what isn't is a thin one?Posted 8 months ago # -

Yep and...
When it's punished you accept it and get on with it.
When it's missed by the ref, you count yourself lucky.
When it's caught on camera and neither of the above apply, it becomes banter.Posted 8 months ago # -

problem is that these days with all the camera's around you dont get retribution. 15 years ago the argies would have just kicked the crap out of him in the next ruck.

both Selzio and Lawes should be at least cited and made to explain themselves IMO

Saw 'highlights' of Scotland game. Seemed like usual struggle against 'lesser' opposition that we alway do. Like to make things difficult for ourselves.
Positive that we won and seemed to be able to run the ball well though how that will go against sides with a better defense remains to be seen.
Negative would have to be the forward pack which was woeful from the clips I saw.
Doesn't sound like it is worth my while watching the England game.
Seems most of the lesser nations have been doing better than expected from listening to Talksport's bookies this am they have alllost by significantly less than expected. (NZ were expected to put 60 points on Tonga!) Maybe some more suprises this year.

Reasonable game from Scotland. Some good stuff, some of the usual dross.
One advantage of being in Oz was that it was 10:30 am here when it was on, so I was reasonably well awake. I suspect at 4 am over there, the lack of sleep has clouded your judgement...

Scotland hardly did much better, against a much poorer side
Very true, but then we've not been talking ourselves up as potential World ChampionsNo, but neither have you actually been world champions. Heck, we accidentally found ourselves in the final after demolishing Australia and France last time. That was the tournament we lost 36-0 to SA at this stage in the tournament....

Bit early in the tournament to be that defensive

True!
I openly admit that of the 4 games on yesterday (it's great having them on at a decent time), the England game was by far and away the worst, and that's before you take into account Wilko's confusion about being upside down...
I wasn't aware of us talking ourselves up though - being in South Australia, the only mention I've heard of the RWC being on at all has been Qantas adverts.... Barely a mention on the news, or anywhere else.
