Ha - a try in less than two minutes

unbelievable

 

I'm not impressed with either side atm.

 

Neither am I... The all-Blacks were more interesting opponents

 

I've changed my mind. ))))

 

Scrappy, but

FUCKING - YES !!!!

 

Heheheh, we done it ... AGAIN ...

Be an interesting other Semi now, and an even more interesting Final.

 

Isn't the first drink on you, the next time we meet up?

 

Odd that, I didn't know you were playing.

 

I wasn't, but I'm proud to say I'm an Englishman and I've been flying
the flag in support of them since Day 1.

 

Clipped to the gutter of your Cavalier, perchance?

 

I'll happily fund the rejoicing... right ATM I'm thinking about the lost
hopes of Mr Sarkozy and his gang Funny how the the TF1 channel (aka
Tele-Sarkozy) didn't show them at all this time, must be because he's
having a fit of chin and shoulder shaking.

All the best for the next game... and remember, the French got rid of
the All-Blacks for you...

 

That's obviously a very old proverb

 

Yeah. We were pityful, made too many fouls. Nevertheless, your Wilkinson
guy is a devil, and it's a well deserved victory !

Congratulations, whish the best for the final !

 

Nope.

 

Nope.

Hanging in the back of my Landrover.

And England too. I think it's a bit of a shame when matches are decided on
which side gave away the fewest penalties. FWIW, I thought the French came
back at England very well, and the match was a nail-biter. I was out last
night, and spent the evening with my fingers in my ears, then watched it
when I got back home.

The guy was clearly off-form, but he can still do the business when it
matters.

How nice to hear you say that. Pity some of the "home" nations don't have
the same generous attitude.

 

Eh? This is rugby we're talking about.

 

England weren't much better. The only reason that they were slightly
better was because they won.

Ta.

Being English, but living in Wales and married to a Welsh lady, Rugby is a
bit of a contentious issue in my life. We have an arrangement that we
always support the other's team against anyone else. When Wales play
England, well, that's what separate televisions are for.

Seriously, though, I've never "got" the tribal element of sport. It's a
fucking *game*, FGS. (Cue Matt Busby quotes, etc).

 

It wasn't an accident of birth. Mum and Dad had a choice where we were
born, Dad was in RAF, based in Europe and chose to come back to England
for our births.

I also don't think I'm being foolish at all, either, just patriotic.
I'm proud of what Englishmen (we) have achieved. If you're not, that's
your choice and one which, unlike you, I won't denigrate 'cos that's it,
a personal choice we can all make.
