Congrats to Australia!

Well done to the Wallabies, beating the All-Blacks 22-10 in the Semi-Final (of the Rugby World Cup). Hopefully England will beat France in the 2nd Semi (tomorrow) and meet you in the Final.

Yes, although it wasn't a pretty game. However, the Australian defence was superb. If England do get to the final, they are going to have to do something really special to get past that 15. The Kiwis looked a shadow of their old self.

I am looking forward to the France match, and with Catt and Hill in the side I think we can turn them over, but we will have to play much better than we did against Wales, and this is not to take anything away from the Welsh performance. They were excellent. If England play with the passion the Welsh players showed last weekend we should do it.

Well, we'll see Australia in the final after a no-nonsense win over France, playing to the conditions. Not a great match, but I for one wouldn't have enjoyed playing in that wind & rain!

Bring on the Aussies.

Although the newspapers seem to have got the idea that Woodward will start the game with Catt on the bench. How crap is that. Alright, so he was a bit error prone on Sunday, but if it hadn't been for him against Wales we would not have been here at all. You cant say that the game was one that brought out the best in the centres or wingers. In fact Lewsey seemed to be the most active. I dont remember Robinson doing that much, apart from being felled by that blatant trip. And Greenwood was not involved a great deal either, so why pick on Mike Catt?

Never change a winning team. That was what we were told.
