[QUOTE="Vieux Talonneur, post: 1173926, member: 73144"] What and have nothing to moan about? Honestly, 2003 was the most miserable time to be an English fan with 91/2 not far behind only saved by a barmy decision to change tactics in the RWC final. 😀 I think people are fair to question SB. There was no new coach bounce when he came in and there have only been 2 decent performances on his watch - v Arg when we absolutely played what was in front of us and then the semi - while [USER=86934]@dirty harry[/USER] rates this achievement as somewhere ahead of the Welsh teams of the 70s, the reality was that it was a committed performance with conditions being a great leveller and maybe some unnecessary subs cost us a place in the final. As for yesterday, we can only really put it into context at the tournament end. But before the tournament kicked off every man and his dog had Italy with the wooden spoon and probably whitewashed. And we’ve just recorded our worst ever result against them (admittedly only by a point). Tougher tests await. [/QUOTE]
