Subject: RE: BS: Rugby World Cup
On the radio today, rather predictably, everyone was knocking the English team. Was I in an alternative reality and we really lost on Sunday?? OK, it wasn't our best performance but we won against a strong Welsh team who played their hearts out. Is it now considered illegal to win by kicking penalties?? Any team with a Johnny Wilkinson would be happy to win through his excellent kicking. Bring on the French I say and let's see if England can't raise their performance and beat them. If we win, will be still be criticised if we score less tries than the French and only win on penalty kicks???
