Hah! The Frogs got whupped and the ref was blind to iss that try that had at least 2 resons for being illegal!

I am personally hoping that England beat Australia just by repeated Johhny Wilkinson drop goals just to rub it in, or even better Mike Catt drop goals.

We've had forecast rain for a while now. It only started raining last night. We'll be ok.

The All Blacks changed one guy from their team in the semi, because of an injury. The French changed thirteen, including their captain, who retired. The result wasn't entirely surprising.

Anyway, less than a day till the game, so in the spirit of those great adverts that some brewer has been doing during the half-time of each England match:

Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and, upon this charge
Cry ‘God for Harry, England and Saint George!'

Actually rain works for us.

Makes the English kicking game a bit less reliable. We should focus on just hitting the ball up. Playing a tight run and ruck game in the wet and we shouldn't have too many issues.

It's been raining heavily today. I predict a wet game.

Just thought I'd help.
