Weekend

[oracleslave]

I don’t mind seeing England lose a few games right now if there’s some direction and potential for them to do well in 2011, unlike the bloody depressing mess after the 2003 World Cup. Good things up to now; Armitage, Monye and Sackey working well as a back 3, in fact Armitage looks like we’;ve finally found a good full back, Cipriani getting better all the time, Care’s playing well; lots of things to be optimistic about. A new team’s being built and if they can be there or thereabouts against the top 3 sides in the world at this stage then things are going in the right direction.

Eng played far better than the scoreline against Aus suggested last time out. If I was putting money on it I would back them to win this weekend.

Test riding a motorbike tomorrow before settling down for the rugby.

Sunday off to see the Sarrys/Irish game at the Madjeski.

Marvellous...

Poor Andrew Sheridan though, he's out

I like him!

Yep, that’s a blow for England. Aside from being the only prop in the world with a female following, he’s a real giant up front who’s capable of beating up any front row around. Still, it’ll give someone else some experience and that’s fine by me.

No, no, we all have to lose to New Zealand for the next couple of years to let them think they’re the best in the world. Then we all turn up in 2011 and smash them in their own backyard.

Are you Max Mosley?

I'm his lifestyle mentor.

Eh? Sheridan is the most overhyped player in the world... closely followed by Cipriani.
Sheridan got absolutley smashed last week in the scrum against Australia, just like he has been consistantly shunted about by Carl Hayman.
But good to see the English hype machine is alive and well.

Cipriani might be a great player, but after 5 tests, it is a bit early to judge. And last week he had a very poor game.

Danny Care is a good player, just wish he would spend a bit more time thinking about things ratehr than rushing around like a headless chook.

If SA had a half decent coach, they would win on Sat, but as they have a puppet, it is 50/50

It's becasue he is adorable and a really nice fella.

But yes you are right, some of the others could do with a chance at getting some experience.

So if we win the 3N and grand slams, stay number one in the world.. who is the best?
Rugby isnt like football, every test matters in rugby, and if you think being useless for 4 years and then making a WC final is a good result.... go back to football.

hmm, I thought Vickery got hammered in the scrum, not sheridan. But then, I follow the sharks...
