| Quote Dico="Dico"Having been to aus in their summer.. it rains more there, trust me.
I think people forget last years 4N, EVERYTHING went in their favour that day.. and they still moaned. That's sport though, I just wish the aussies would shut up about it. Such. Bad. Losers.'"
Who are these Aussies you are talking about?
Just the Coach or people you know?
It rains very hard for a short period in Australia, its either Tropical or Sub Tropical the rain is nearly all in the Summer months.
Its not Manchester drizzle it often like a monsoon for a couple of days, that's what gets the rainfall average up.
The Winter (when the NRL season is played) is the "dry" season.
Climate and geography is complex I know. |

| Quote Jonesy="Jonesy"Now its a thread whining about The Australian Coach whining, Sheens is not the mouth piece
I do not recall too many Aussies whinging when they lost the final last year or in the last World Cup
'"
You can't have been at the Suncorp for the last World Cup Final then Jonesy. I nearly got knocked over by Australians fighting amongst themselves at the end and whinging about other States players letting them down, etc. |

You are right I was not there.
Both the World Cup final and last years four Nations I was tempted to go but only if it was Oz v England and I did not have the confidence that England would make it. (I was right)
No real desire to see Oz v Kiwis its just like another souped up NRL match. |

| Quote a geek="a geek"It is not the same. If you walk under the rain, you get the rain from two direction: from ahead W1 and from front of you W2.
W1 is proportional to the the time you travel : the longer you go, the bigger W1
W1 = S/V*A1*J :
where S : the distance from A to B
V : your speed
J : the flux of the rain (drop/m2/sec)
A1 : cross section area of your body according to vertical direction (perpendicular to)
W2 is calculated as follow:
W2 = A2*J *sin(actan(V/Vo))*S/V
where A2 the cross section area of your body according to the direction you go
Vo : speed of the rain drop.
I think (W1+W2) will depend on V and may be we can find its max/min value.'"
Clever stuff, but I'd suggest that this man has never seen a girl naked. |

What a great example this thread is of turning a fairly innocent response to a reasonable question into something way more significant than it should be!
Even the most biased England fan must see Australia as the far better side so its not unreasonable for Sheens to be asked whether certain conditions eg. the weather may improve England's chances. He's batted that back with a reasoned response and refused to take the Aussie media's bait to 'get his excuse in 1st' and we still slag him off for 'whinging'!
Incidentally, note Sheen's didn't suggest wet weather would suit England more because we're more used to it, rather he suggested it may be seen as a benefit cos England have a big pack and traditionally wet weather is seen as favouring the stronger pack.

To suggest England are stronger ANYWHERE than Australia is laughable
