12-10: Four more years
& England are through to the Semi Finals having beaten the Aussies
Who would have thought that England would have ever got that far at the start of the competition.
When Australia put the All Blacks out of the last World Cup, the Aussies ever goby scrum half George Gregan was heard telling their defeated opponents
Four more years boys, four more years
Fast forward four years: before Saturday’s game
John O'Neill, the Australian Rugby Union chief executive, has said he "hates" England and ordered his players to get square with Brian Ashton's side should they meet in the World Cup quarter-finals.
… John, George … four more years boys, four more years!

Perhaps sledging needs to remain a winter sport!

Would have been very wrong for England to lose and France to win on the same day. Good show.

Huzzah!
As a Pommie Bastard living in Sydney, I tried not to be too smug at work this morning.
I was not entirely successful.

The funny thing will be watching you gits get smacked by the Argies in the Semi's.

Still think the uniforms are gay, though, and that goes for the "boots" (ballet shoes, more like) as well.

CB - we get France in the semis, the Arggies are up against the Jaapies.
Kim - I couldn't agree more. What ever to 'proper' boots that you could dole out a proper shoe-in with?
All - looks like next weekend will be yet another on the sofa, watching the rugby. Oh the hardship of it all!
