England's back row had France going in reverse from about the 25th minute on. That was why Wilkonson had the space. Plus, with his kicking range, he can take a deeper drop before he kicks.

Stephen Larkin will have to sprint like a Gazelle to get pressure on Wilks.

Oh pleaase don't say the name Cronje in the presence of my friend. Around Pretoria he is worshipped like a god. He was cheering so loud at the Currie Cup, that Cronje blew him a kiss... I can't mention cricket to him. He says cricket is for sissies.

Rugby is catching on big where I'm at. A lot of the football players are playing rugby in the offseason.

,,, a pleasure to meet you! You're in Chile and you've done time in Africa - you're getting around.

,,, our perception of the way Americans view rugby and Kiwis playing it is that they think we're crazy going onto the field without all the padding and helmets etc. that US gridiron teams use.

Americans should get into rugby and run it as a business the way they do with other sports. You've got the talent and the management expertise already - it's just another game waiting to be won.

The All Blacks finally woke up, eh ~ perfect! :)

[Peace will be here soon]

This final is going to be great !! I did expect the All Blacks to be there but I really like the Wallabies chances. It is going to be interesting to see how the Wallabies handle Wilkinson. I mean how the heck do you shut him down ? The guy is absolutely incredible ! If the Aussies contain him, they win, no doubt about it. But if they do not, it will be a heck of a game. The match earlier this year between them has to be thrown out the window. The Wallabies have really stepped it up ( were they doggin all year ? ). Does anybody remember the name of Tonya Hardings old body guard ???? I think there are a few Aussies that would like to retain his services.
