ok zubrei. you´re on.
gentlemens bet it is.

i´ll buy the first Englishman i see in the pub a pint if England scores a try.

thats not to say i don´t think they´ll try for a try.
with Coen and Robinson, why wouldn´t they try to spread it wide once in a while?? especially when everybody is expecting everything to be going to jonny. a running rugby tactic may be a smart move. esp is Australia is preparing for a kicking game.

like i said a few posts above, Wilkinson/England may be boring, but they have mastered a great aspect of the game. this should be interesting. the best kicking squad against the best running squad.

good luck to the Poms. LOL - they´ll need it!!!

i just can´t help but remember back to the semis of the 1999 cup.
that yarpie Janni De Beer (sp?) was kicking drop goal after drop goal (5 in a match is still the record) - what was the very typical and brilliant response by the Aussies??
thats right, Steve Larkham went and kicked a drop goal to beat them.

btw Aussies, starting Friday, i hope everyones going to be getting around in gold. esp on saturday night.
the poms are a very vocal, annoying crowd... they´ll all be in white all 20000+ of them... so just like when the lions were last here in 2001... lets just get every aussie in gold.

England divisible by 3.
Australia to win.
close match.
esp if they run it a Wendell and kick it at Rogers. (which is what i reckon their plan will be).

oh, and come on New Zealand for tonight.
