On the down side:

The UK ITV coverage was really poor - most of the atmosphere being lost in the commercial breaks and some of the ref's decsions were more than a little strange.

We get used to the sight of people being awarded and stuggling under huge pieces of gold or silverware - but in Martin Johnson's hands this cup looked like an egg-cup!

Looking at the re-runs, (for I had to close my eyes too much when it was on live) the large number of important tackles that Johnny Wilkinson made were just as important as his kicking. I think I would like to bear his children........
