Summer Tour to New Zealand and Australia

Havenā€™t a clue mate - Iā€™m only going by what Hype Sports have on the info bar.

An Australian attack breaks down after they break the laws of the game. It was ever thus, in sport and in life. But they didnā€™t break Courtney Laws, who goes off bruised and battered but knowing that he made a huge difference. Simon Shaw, the man who epitomises all the best qualities of Englishness, replaces him. He joins his fellow substitute Jonny Wilkinson, back at the scene of his greatest triumph. A monster clearance by Ben Foden pins the Australians back. Ben Foden is fucking gorgeous Irish singer Una Healy.

I could be getting mixed up, but couldnā€™t he have played for us?

Matt Giteau doing his best to win the game for England

Using GSHā€™s theory - Giteau is a choker

I donā€™t know, but if he has a son heā€™ll definitely be eligible. I know Una is from Tipperary, but is she a North Riding or South Riding girl, does anybody know?

Giteau :lol:

A magnificent English victory.

Within 2 mins of the win Sky Sports News said that hopefully Fabio Capello can use this as a source of inspiration :rolleyes:

A notable achievement for Martin Johnson, but heā€™ll see it merely as a stepping stone before England set out on the path to the big prize. The Australians canā€™t believe theyā€™ve been beaten. Their TV pundits all predicted an easy Australian win. I expect Ireland to be beaten by about 40 points next week.

Mac, ye called Oā€™ Gara a choker for missing way harder kicks.

It doesnā€™t add up hypocrites.

What the fuck are you talking about you goon?

No, I said it at the time. Yet again, you are incorrect. Look, Iā€™m from Leinster and Iā€™m closer to it than you mainly due to geographical reasons and involvement.

I fear for Ireland against the auld enemy for the next while, they have excellent young, tough very quick players coming through, line breakers as they call them. Our great hopes are the likes of Macken and Conway, who donā€™t seem to be able to progress the same way the likes of the Aussies, Kiwi and English fellas are at present.

Are the golden generation holding up our next generation, front row Munster, in the backs at Leinster. Ulster to their credit are the only ones really blodding young players, maybe out of necessity, but its happening nevertheless.

Johnny Wilkinson also missed a kick in the 78th minute there - I presume heā€™s also a choker?

No, your wrong, you didnā€™t. And i know more about it, easy.

Yep, Rob Kearney, Luke Fitzgerald, Johnny Sexton, Cian Healy, Sean Oā€™Brien, Devin Toner. Youā€™d think Leinster would try bring a few young fellas through now and again wouldnā€™t you?

England were able to win the World Cup in the Southern Hemisphere in 2003, thereā€™s no reason why they shouldnā€™t be able to win the World Cup in the Southern Hemisphere in 2010.

Yes but they won the World Cup in the Northern Hemisphere in 1966 but werenā€™t able to win the World Cup there in 1991, 1999, or 2007.

not exactly old fogies

What did you make of Wallaceā€™s performance yesterday caoimhaoin? Knew he had all skills obviously but what pleased me most was his physicality actually. No question of him being exposed in that area anyway yesterday.

Thought England were impressive today and kicked superbly. Australia were poor and bit one dimensional. Scrum was terrible again.

England always do well in Commonwealth countries. Youā€™re forgetting the Empire factor.
