Wasnt much they had to change thanks to their 16th man advantage (which was actually a 2 man advantage since McAlister was having a cup of tea at the time).
Bastards...still love their country as a place to visit though

Anyway, I was gonna send some carp to an aussie mate after seeing, nay, after cheering England on. So happy I didnt!

Then again, watching that try of Englands being turned down in the finals gave me a particular sense of pleasure...especially after those tossers in the English commentary team were going on about kiwis shutting up and handling the loss!
Suddenly these guys were having to take some of their own medicine, and they werent enjoying it

Not sure what where the advantage was in a missed drop kick though?
And arent England touring down south in June? I suspect threads like this one will be ripe with each side congratulating the other side on a well played game

Of course the attempt from Gary Pallister on 79 minutes does not count.
Still England are still massive favourites for the 8 Nations next year and I've just managed to get some tickets for the Euro 2009 footy tourney where again we are favourites after winning our group against Croatia. I would love it if we managed to get them for the 2011 world footy cup

The ref sucked as well, but in sport you always get that sort of thing happening, in another game the refs calls will go our way. Its the nature of one off tournaments that sometimes it just doesnt go your way. The reason we didnt go the drop goal is that the halfback we had on the field was strugling to get the ball away cleanly, a combination of him being a newbie, the french being offside, our 2 number 10's both getting injured out of the game and the ref having a shocker.
If you cant handle things not going your way, you shouldnt watch sport.
