Comment on the "Is that all you've got" piece please!

Hahaha - caught you in a "partial quote there didn't I
.
I hasten to point out that I do not subscribe to the anyone but England brigade and I am happy that the best team will in all probability win on the day. Mind you, I am hoping that is not England
but I am hoping that is not the Brawl Thwacks either
. I would certainly smile if some prophetic roosters managed to s**t all over some roses

As to England not offering much, well I agree with certain points there and I will give you my honest assessment of the game.
Their flyhalf missed countless shots and you got one charge down try also from their useless fly half. Wilko may have got the game ball, but Luis Koen (sp) was your best player on the night. I thought the Englsh backs were starved of opportunity, and the continuous bash it up one pass out stuff got eaten up by some fairly resolute defence on the Saffies part. You defended well but I thought the Saffies never really tried to throw the ball and stretch you till the last 10 mins if the game when it was way to late. My assessment was methodical - it showed enough to win without too many troubles, but it didn't show much.
So there you go - scoff if you think I am a ramapant biased Aussie without a sensible thought in his head. I will still stand you a drink or 4 in the pub in a couple of weeks time and we can have a good laugh about the final result [img]smile.gif[/img] .
Go the Wallabies and Vive la Roosters [img]smile.gif[/img]
