Well I've made the journey to Melbourne Australia to watch them play.
So come on England.

Oh floooooor a Scotland, when will we see.....a grand slam?? Lol

Honestly Kenk I never ceases to amaze me that people would rather have a loss by playing dazzling rugby than have a win by playing disciplined rugby.
Yes Johnny is the boy but you cannot deny the fact that in order to be positioned to score the points you must force the opposing team into mistakes. Expansive style rugby can only work when the opposing team is playing the game in the same manner. Englands tatics are constantly shifting in order to control the game.
The flashy swashbuckling style that is played in Super 12 makes for good viewing but the potential for mistakes is high. This is why the New Zealands are now reverting to disciplined Rugby. Remember the days when The All Blacks dominated.....well the style of rugby was not the expansive game we see today. It was starving the opposition of the ball.

Your opinion that the England Rugby Union Squad is awesome is valid, however the remainder of this thread fits more in the general chat section.
