| Still remember the pain of the 2008 group game, when England were 24-8 up after about 30 mins against NZ, only to lose 24-36.

Hang on everybody...there is a little team called France to get past first. I don't for one minute hope France will beat England, and based upon performances so far in this tournament, France won't, but that is EXACTLY the point for me. I think France are DUE a performance and it might just be at the DW Stadium this weekend!

Not an unfair point, and I want France to put in a good performance, but I simply cannot see them mustering sufficient improvement to beat an England team which is better both in every department, as a team, and man on man. The only QF I don't expect to be one-sided is the Fiji v Samoa one, which promises to be absolutely cracking. I wish I could get to see that one. |

They have no chance, they've scored 2 tries all tournament. We'll put 40 past them. |

| Quote: Biff Tannen "England
That really was a poor side comparatively to the one we are cheering on in this competition. Only the starting props look like they are as strong as the current team, although the way that Hill and G. Burgess are playing alongside the more established S. Burgess and Graham I am not sure even the Morley would get in (I would have Peacock in an instant and move S. Burgess to the back row)
The backline in particular lacks both skill and pace while the half backs were/are good players but not international quality half backs
Of the current England team I would swap in Peacock and Ellis and possibly Senior into the 17 today
The most interesting part is that England really did have a big chance to win both games against the Kiwis in 2008 and actually played below the level they were capable of (probably two of the most frustrating games I have watched)

Do you believe this? France have been due a good performance for about 10 years and still haven't pulled one off. They've won 1 game this tournament and that was against a v. poor PNG side by 1 point and only because PNG missed an un-missable penalty at the death!!!
They couldn't even get close to an average Samoa side at home in front of 11k French fans!!
Merde! |
