Yeah we will still win, the mental problems have been dealt with, the omg it's France lets play like shit problems have mostly been dealt with. Also all the teams aren't in the greatest of forms right now, South Africa is iffy, Australia are just shit and don't have the depth to make it to the finals. Also we have Milner-Skudder and you don't.

edit - Oh I didn't realise you were an aussie.

You are un ironically saying this on a football message board. A sport which dominates the media coverage 24/7 no matter what season or tournament is currently on?

New Zealand, so times the 24/7 saturation point by 10 and you're getting close.

Did you actually watch the tri-nations + Argentina games this year? I didn't see them so have only really been going on the results.

Looks like South Africa had a horror show and Australia actually did okay (even beating your lot) so it's quite hard to tell.

SA were the better team against Australia. They just spursed it up in the last 20 very un South African. I wouldn't rule them out at all.

I am going to gorge myself on the greatest game in the world for the next while. Thank God I can skive off at work easily enough. Fire off the odd email every now and then and done! Wahey!

Nice! An England team I can get behind as well.

Will the enzedders win it or choke? The ever present question in world cups.

Prediction:-
England 25
Fiji 10

Close first half. England put them to the sword second half as Fiji an legs tire.

I enjoy watching rugby and I have a decent understanding of the rules of the sport, but I have no idea about most of England's players and tactics/positions. Do England have a chance?

I'm expecting it to be a tough game for England, but confident we will get a decent win. Fiji have a few very good players (the second row and scrum half in particular). A focused effort is needed against them and not to give them any encouragement with loose play and the game getting too broken up.
