I've not got the time to read all that but thanks for the link.

Whats all this rubbish about the RFU apologising to Australia for all the booing during Australias kicks at goal. It didn't do them any harm did it?

i don't get that either. so the fans aren't allowed to get behind england then at all?!

The RFU doesn't want it's £80 a ticket upperclass fans been labelled common muck like those RFL fans.



As a result in their £10 programmes there will be a message to supporters as well as a tannoy announcement asking fans to respect the kickers.

The RFU are worried it might spread to opposing fans & as England only ever score points from kicks it might put biscuit bones off.

old news. not sure if it's such a bad thing though. joe didn't do much at wigan last year and he'll be on a top wage.
so maybe we won't feel the loss too much and his wife will get a really nice christmas present

It doesn't say what level he could play at till 40!

Bradford and Bingley might need a fly-half..

Is Steve Black retarded?

[iBecause he has looked after himself so well, I could see him playing on until he is 38, 39, 40," he told BBC 5 Live.

Wilkinson has suffered more than a dozen major injuries since kicking England to World Cup glory in Sydney five years ago.

And Black believes the fitness and form the fly-half showed in the three full games he played for Newcastle this season before his injury at Gloucester on 30 September is evidence he can prolong his career.

"Jonny is cerebral as well as physical," Black explained. "He will continue to get better physically until he is 32, 33. [/i

It's astonishing. He only needs his legs to work to make his contribution. They don't even have to run, just jog three or four steps, and he still can't stay fit.

Still, he can be like the James Dean of Yawnion. He can retire and they can all carry on pretending he was some kind of Superhuman talent, and, if not for his absence, England would have never lost a game.

have you heard rugby union being called . RAH RAH

After today's trouncing at the hands of the Saffers and the forthcoming pasting by the All Blacks next week, wonder how long it will take the Twickenham regulars long to start questioning the appointment of Martin Johnson

22/11/08 2008 Rugby League Cup Final attendence 50,599
Ireland v Argentina attendence 77,000
England v South Africa attendence 81,113




Looks like we're still playing catch up.

we were never going to match those figures....

...especially when you consider Suncorp only holds 52,500

You mean they couldn't even sell out the final. Oh dear.

dont worry about this troll TARANIS

clearly a stalker troll bot 30 posts a day sice joining in august 08



aussie's beat italy,england,france

Not trolling merely stating facts.

Are there? Fighting for better terms and conditions for you down at the sperm bank?

If your a YAWNION fan you don't need terms and conditions ,terms and conditions only apply if your a W a n k e r which in that case

Try again, perhaps using English.

Ok, senin oyun bok .

well the final was officially a sell-out, so that would suggest that 1,900 people didn't turn up.
maybe they were folk from other parts of australia, new zealand or further afield who didn't fancy travelling in the worst weather to have hit Queensland in more than a generation.
