Was a Welshman

Am somewhat surprised there with you Paul. I don't for a moment think we are 'Way behind the Aussies / South Africa and New Zealand etc. Yes the Welsh and Scots have blended together lighter sides in the hope and wish for and dependence on speed. Unfortunately this means too much going side ways and being unable to thrust forward. Yet the English are now just about up on par with any of them. THEY display strength and speed with big weighty guys that can hold and quell much. Sure a little way to go yet, and time is enough for them to strength and moulded and weld together still a lot tighter and well balanced side. France are always there about and the drubbing that they received from the Aussies last time showed them that they too needed to reform and rebuild. Of course they do. Unlike Scotland and Wales, England has the players and in depth to bring these to the fore. But Paul, I think also there is a very real, and meaningful part not being used - on purpose too i believe - that England haven't needed to bring into play. A ploy that will pay very big dividends, when needed, as they now have on board 4 - 5 very capable players able to do it with confidence. Namely the ability of scoring drop goals, gaining any needed points! Wilkinson and co under Johnson hasn’t used this at all.... though he played in a very successful era when we won, and won well including the lat two World Cups. These weren’t needed obviously, though many chances have been refused when presenting themselves, playing instead to build up on a structure of scoring tries.

What really happened when Elton John and David Furnish decided to have a baby. They had their sperm mixed together and had a surrogate mother artificially inseminated with it. When the baby was born Elton and David were waiting at the hospital. They were ushered into a ward where a dozen babies were lying in their cots, eleven of whom were crying and screaming. Over in the corner, one baby was smiling serenely. A nurse came over to both of them and indicated that the happy child was theirs. "Isn't it wonderful?" Elton said to David. "All these unhappy babies ........... And yet our baby is so happy. This just proves the superiority of gay love!" The nurse said, "Oh sure, he's happy now, but just watch what happens when I pull the thermometer out of his *expletive removed* back side!"

Tell you what Fly-caster, none of the walking down Main Street naked and going into M & S on a Saturday afternoon and crapping in the till.... but I am confident. Confident enough to pledge that I will give you a youngster from my stock loft if Ireland beat England in this series. Can't be fairer than that. As for Scotland playing better ANY where away or at home, the realism is that they are as bad any wahere lol P.s. never looked for any sympathy, least of all expect any when England fail to achieve what we hope. one in life has to learn to accept.... easier to heal tattered dreams and hopes and faith in the next game. Something Scotland, Ireland have to learn. Maybe if the Scots stopped singing about a non events of over 700 odd years ago and smelt the coffee, and came into the real world they would be able to compete. Like I believe, had no great match winner since Gavin went!

Well i must say that stranger things have happened like that Fly_caster! But in reality there is more chance to pee in the Pope's ear from 50 yards in a head wind lol.

England RULE Scotland

Must put that down as the 'Joke' of this month on the site. Wales will beat Ireland, no two ways about that I fear. Scots may well beat them too, and the Italians will beat the Scots to boot. So in reality it seems just how far in front of the pack are the English at this stage! Yes I know that they will improve even a lot more yet, of course they will. But as of this Saturday, the yardstick will be well placed I think!

With an eye open of the coming up of the England V France game this Saturday, will this game, as it should, go quite a long way to put ALL the teams, and their performances in prospective!?. To place them in the slot they are in and deserve to be in!? Should tell us just how good - or bad - they really are. Further just where they stand in regards of making ground,progress, for the coming prestigous World Cup that we are all endeavouring to do well in. Indeed what all nations must be, and are building toward ultimately surely.
