[QUOTE="TRF_Ezequiel, post: 441834, member: 42683"] vs. Samoa: 59-7 with 8 tries vs. England: 36-0 with 3 tries vs. Tonga: 30-25 with 4 tries vs. USA: 64-15 with 9 tries vs. Fiji: 37-20 with 5 tries vs. Argentina: 37-13 with 4 tries That's 33 tries in 6 matches which is an average of more than 5 per game. Including the try-less final, still gives them an average of more than 4 tries per game. England only scored 12 tries during the whole tournament. In 2003, England scored a bunch of tries almost equal to South Africa in '07 vs. Georgia: 84-6 with 12 tries vs. South Africa: 6-25 with 1 try vs. Samoa: 35-22 with 4 tries (okay, 1 was a penalty try, but still 4 tries) vs. Uruguay: 111-13 with 17 tries vs. Wales: 28-17 with 1 try vs. France: 7-24 *no try* vs. Australia: 17-20 with 1 try That still is 36 tries in 7 matches, an average of more than 5 per game. England and South Africa might not score 50 or 60 tries during the World Cup like New Zealand does, but at least we don't get carried away after walk-overs and get knocked out despite high expectations ;) [/QUOTE]
