[QUOTE="Ospreylian, post: 558356, member: 59055"] To be fair I don't think the vast majority of England fans actually are dining out on 2003 these days. I'm sure most English fans are disappointed with the way their team pretty much imploded through the tournament. I think most England fans are fairly realistic and want players such as Burns, Twelvetrees, May, JSD, Vunipola, and Wade to be starting, but for whatever reason the coaches seem to be turning a blind eye to what the overwhelming majority of the public wants to see. I also think the game would have been a lot tighter had it been played at Twickenham. Perhaps Wales still would have won the match, but maybe it would not have been quite the same runaway score. EDIT: what I mean by this is that quite a few of those England players had never played in the Millennium before, and it was probably one of the most intimidating atmospheres I have ever seen in a match. It was electric. I just wonder if the players were slightly overwhelmed by it all and that may have contributed to how they played. [/QUOTE]
