Passionate England!

[sasguru]

Not at all. Scotland got exactly as far as I expected them to. No more no less. On a weekend where Rangers lost at home and we went top with 2 goals in the last 5 minutes I am hardly likely to be downhearted am I?
No, what you are getting upset about is me pointing out the inescapable fact that when it comes to playing entertaining rugby, England simply don't.
That said, the strategy they are employing is most certainly the one most likely to bring them success, but it is far from entertaining and flamboyant. The sort of person that can get excited about watching such dull fare is the type that would get animated about a Geoff Boycott Test Innings. If the cap fits.
The long and the short of it is that if you want a game that involves any real skill, you make the ball round. If you want to introduce an element of luck to offset the skill, you play with an egg and allow half your team to have the physiques of Bella Emberg. Nuff said.

So many words and nothing to say. Are you a woman in disguise?

Depnds on your definition of entertaining. If rugby was only about chucking the ball to the backs and letting them run with it then you'd have a pretty one dimensional game.

Hardly comes as a surprise that you have trouble discerning any difference. I doubt you come into contact with many females that don't have the surnames of jpeg!

Some might say that would be one dimension more than it has at present!

Not that I would say that of course...

As opposed to the one dimension the current england squad seems to have, that of burying it underneath the forwards you mean?

And long may it remain buried
