Shame England only played in 2nd Half!

Maximus · 31 October 2009, 18:06

Just finished watching the England V Australia League match at my old Rugby Club with my son who still plays for them.What a game of two halves,Australia dominated in the first half and it looked like another 50 pointer,but England came out in the second half like men possessed!Three unanswered tries,and some near misses! still lost the match but Bodes well for the Kiwi's!...Then we can have another go at the Aussies in the final!!
COME ON ENGLAND!!

I think the Australia were well in control and were coasting it. I am not being disrespectful I just thought they had it under control.
Best of luck in the next round.

I know what your saying[even if you are North of the Border! ha!] but this Australian side is meant to be the best ever! ''Great''sides IMO especially Australian one's.. do not 'coast'! they grind you into the mud!The coach said after the match they had changed their [Englands] system,pitty they did'nt start with it!!...Anyway we English have to find our crumbs of comfort somewhere!! Be a brave man to bet against the Green and Golds,but who knows?!!

Crumbs of comfort, Jesus you should be Scottish then you would know what surviving on sporting 'crumbs' is all about!! We are forever the opptomist always looking back at a time whaen we did achive!!
Cheers for now

RW, league of course!! I was being nice, like you i support two teams. I think you have said this before if I remember during the 6 nations last time around. Back to Celtic matters how do you think the three best nations will do this year?

I was very happy for the Paddies last year, I thought they deserved the championship so I could live with em doing it again. At the end of the day you win some and you lose some so time will tell.

Wales will definitely need to be better, as I'd like to recoup some of the losses I made putting my money where my mouth was last year!

Back to the League match when you can go up against the best team in the world and show some class it's not a bad effort!

Trouble is the 'games' the 'Jocks' are Best at [World beaters] are pretty full on...Claymores,and or Fixed Bayonets being the 'Kit' of choice! Not to mention their very own WMD... the Bagpipes!

No lack of passion whatever the game!....And when you do get a result....Blimey!They may be few and far between,but they're usually STILL celebrating the last one!! I remember the Football Home Internationals ...William Wallace would have been proud!!

When I was chatting to your Mom, apart from telling me that you're known as the 'son of love', she also said she suspected that your biological father was a docker from Portsmouth and that you were actually born in Huddersfield.

Up the Welsh

Having spent quite a lot of time, most happily, there I can confirm it is warmish around the last two weeks in July and a bit chilly in January

Know what you mean RW..Bragging rights?... That seems a long time ago! Good to see Johny looking fit though.The Irish looked good I thought,and apart from that gifted try played pretty well.The trouble is the Premier is so full on,and the stakes so high, its hard to see a way through the injuries dilema...We live in hope!!!
