The World Cup

Of the home nations only England seem to have any chance of progressing further than the quarter finals, and that hope is fairly remote. Wales and Ireland are out and Scotland were incredibly lucky to qualify.

We had all better start planning for 2011!

Ok, so England are not a total loss

At times, in today's game against Samoa, England looks a half-decent Rugby side, but they still had patches where they looked like amateurs. At least with Jonny Wilkinson fit again and Olly Barkley back, the backs looked as if they wanted to score occasionally

Final score 44-22

Nearly had an interesting turnaround in the South Africa/Tonga game. Tonga almost won and were a bit unlucky not too! Could be a bit tricky for England next week!

Final score 30-25

It is official

England's present Rugby Union team are CRAP with a capital K!

England 0 - South Africa 36

I gave up watching at half time and switched to the Super League. At least that was exciting!

Update:

Wales were better but not by that much, except for a couple of patches. Have to wait and see what Ireland do now!

Yippee

First blood in the Rugby World Cup to Argentina!

France 12 - 17 Argentina

Let us hope England do not bog up tomorrow now!
