after seeing england playing such boring spoiling tactics on the weekend, i really hope someone takes them down.

i fear that won't be the wallabies this saturday, though. Flatley has just been ruled out, and that makes about 11-12 on the injured or not available list. even though we beat the welsh pretty easily, they're only the welsh, and we lacked intensity.

england only just beat the all blacks, who were not playing well at all! umaga had a shocker of a game, and even the Haka was poor. carlos spencer was seriously good, even though he should have run the backs more.

england, annoying as always played a rushed defense and spoiling game that should give an indication of what to expect for the rest of the year.

i think that south africa put up a much better show than expected against the scots. maybe we shouldn't be counting them out of the world cup after all...

well, after a seriously important weekend, thats the major 4 teams.

my pick for bill is still the all blacks, with much more game experience after the tri nations. england in the final, but hopefully being thrashed there, or earlier. wallabies as an outside pick, also after a good tri nations build up.
