OT:Rugby anybody ?

World Cup Final .....England 20-Aus 17 A great final and a great English victory. I can't remember '66, so this is the finest sporting moment I may ever get to watch. Fabulous game, and not really very boring at all, eh ;) ? Heroic performances all over the place, especially when Dawson surprised everybody by not passing to Jonny and bursting down the middle to gain those crucial extra yards. It was close, and the Aussie team must be congratulated on a truly great performance. I thought they were going to steal the Cup from under our noses when they were awarded a rather dubious penalty in the last minutes of normal time. Celebrations ahoy !

Yea, it's great that England won for a change, just wish they could do the same in WC Football. I'm not a big Rugby fan.

Beat us in the lineouts!
