While woring at a mine project in Africa during the last World Cup, I became quite a fan of Rugby. The mine camp was populated by a large number of "Safricans" and Auzzies with a few Kiwis tossed in. I enjoy the game and especially the All Blacks...bought a couple of shirts the last time I went through the Johannesburg airport.

I think the Wallabies are a lot more physical than the Pommies...the Australia - Blacks game was a punishing match.

Interesting. Other people say England hides behind their tight five and has Wilkinson kick penalties for all their points. Les Blues would second that, but the weather may have influenced the run of play in the semis.

The Aussies are a bit of a surprise entry this time. NZ and France were the tournament 'form' teams and neither made it through to the finals. I think the teams that get called 'form' teams just have crappy opponents in their preiminary pools.
