Good Game Good Game

Fears of missing out on the final due to a poorly timed slot on the 6 yard rifle range at the National Scout Air Rifle Competition were unfounded. The organisers not only saw to it that we could reschedule our events, but they also provided the technology to let us watch on a 30 foot screen Fantastic!

Was it a try? Opinions are varied as always, we must always assume the Australian 3rd Referee doesn't hold any grudges. However, at the end of the day it wasn't given so we have to move on. Unfortunately we couldn't stop handing out penalties, but at least we prevented SA from scoring any tries, in fact the only game that SA played where they didn't score tries and it was also their narrowest margin of victory. All very positive in it's own way.

England move into 4th place in the rankings, ahead of France and Australia.

Roll on the 2008 Six Nations, fingers crossed that the tickets come through in the supporters club ballot!

Something to ponder

1) New Zealand are the best team in the World.

2) France beat New Zealand.

3) England beat France.

So does whatever happen on Saturday 20th really matter....?

Simply because.....

.......we need to see it again.....and again.....and again.....and again.....and again......

A Chicken and a Frog are in a Library.....

The chicken picks up a book, turns to the frog and says, "Book book book booook book book book book".

And the frog says, "Reddit, reddit".

Possibly my favourite joke of all time?

Ghost Joke

Q: What did the Doctor say to the Ghost?

A: Say aaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Admittedly it works better live........

I'm sure we've all seen the incredibly funny (sic) variety of England shirts zipping around on email in the last few weeks.

Here's one I found that I liked.

Apparently none of our Antipodean buddies made it in because they were all sick.......as parrots......

Where Next?

Gobsmacked.
Stunned.
Amazed.
Happy.
Smiling.
Laughing.

Six stages of mood following an arguably unlikely English win over the Australians which was then repeated 6 hours later when the Kiwis were dumped out of the cup by France.

Word on the street is that both teams were so confident of a win that they hadn't booked their return flights back down under. Pity then that the only connection they could get was through London Heathrow, that must be hard to stomach.

A few of the more polite choice comments before the match included:

"They (England) definitely aren't the team of 2003"

"We don't fear England with him (JW) in the team - we don't really fear any of their players,"

"I don't like to say it, but Robinson is probably their only world-class back, the only one they've had playing in form."

"We're pretty confident in our defence,"

It's been said before and I'll say it again now, the four years in between are nothing but practice for the main event. If you can't cope when the pressure comes on and try to rely on some easy group stage games as a warm up for the knockout stages then think again.

In the meantime, get some practice in for 2011......
