[QUOTE="shazbooger, post: 154724"] You seem to have forgotten your own posts in the NZ v France thread. You spend hours happily chirping on about NZ chokers (and so belittling France's achievement). Pot ………….. Kettle ……………. Black. Get off your high horse and deal with the fact that it's damn hard to sit back an applaud some of the fugliest rugby I've seen in a long, long time. Unless of course you're a Bok fan, then you'll just be ******* yourself laughing. It's nothing to do with the fact that it is England going through. It's the fact that this team has admitted publicly and privately that they are incapable of playing anything close to creative rugby. They are content to kick the ball long, don't put pressure on the receiver and rely on their defence. Admirable trait's if you're an English fan, dull to watch for any neutral. Now this is the crux of all my posts in this topic, so do try to pay attention. As a neutral observer I want to see at least some kind of decent rugby played from here on in. Unfortunately, now that England have gone through, we can be sure that the final will at best be 98% attrition, 2% rugby, at worst it will be another 36-0 hammering. Anyhoo, what I said was I was delighted for you last weekend but I really really feel the tournament deserves a better final then this English team is capable of providing. I stand by it of course. Sorry if it rains on your parade but its just my opinion. One that seems to be shared by other fans the world around. Holy ****, you really believe that don't you? Made me laugh though, good one. I appreciate the anti-Irish rant. Has no relevance to the topic, but nice one all the same. Really put me in my place. The napalm line was excellent, a bit of an abstract way of saying "why oh why are you not happy for me! Just be happy for me damnit" but effective all the same. On the Argentinean bit …………. Hmm no. I like em actually. They may kick a lot, but they kick well and chase effectively, makes for exciting rugby. [b][color=#3333ff]Now come on the Puma's.
