The Rugby

Thanks for the weather DD :-) I thought these dry hard grounds weren't supposed to suit us??? LOL

Funny how the two sides that are supposedly out of form and very beatable are the ones that make it through to the final..... I guess it's all about being able to step up to the big occasions.

The way the Aussies played was magnificent - the way you disrupted and dismantled Spencer stopped NZ from getting thier backs into the game..... and NZ appears to have forgotten that if you don't win the forwards battle, it makes it nigh on impossible for the backs to shine.

England did very well. The conditions just weren't conducive to running rugby and the French seemed to lose the plot more than a bit. I wonder what was being said in the scrums???
