there yah go, Ozzie!

discretion being the better part of valour, you MUST leave the bricky crack jeans in the wardrobe (and a builder would NEVER press his / her jeans!!!!)

Yah, what a turn-up for the books. Not one but two overwhelmingly strong favourites beaten on the same day. Amazing.

Scotland for the final, V. France - the auld alliance!!!! (Pope to present the cup to the winners).

Finals?

You joke .... don't you? Oh brother - I better get those builder's crack jeans pressed for action.

Good Job France!

Cheers!

I just can't get enough,

Just can't get enough (of this stuff)"

as my friends in Depeche Mode once said.

"There is an element of Greek tragedy about this for Australia. Isn't the word hubris? If they aren't too arrogant they should reflect on the issue of blowing your own trumpet louder than the opposition before turning up on the park does not mean you will automatically win the game. They were the poorer side on the day -they can talk a good campaign but have failed, again, to walk the walk - at least where England are concerned. Do you want cream with that humble pie O'Neill? You are going to have to eat it like it or not, publicly or otherwise. "

Here's a good one from D Tel. web-site. So true.

Please, please, please find me an Aussie who's prepared to accept defeat gracefully....after all the comments I've read leading up to this game including the CEO/Director of the ARU Mr John O'Neill who publicly stated he 'hated' the English.......come on and show yourselves, we're waiting to hear an apology from you!

Well, not a word from an ex-con. so far tonight!

How strange. They are so loud when they are bigging it up before the game ("everyone hates the English", "English play dirty", etc, etc), but after - well, not a sausage, not a peep, not a whisper, not a bleedin' dicky bird.

Where are yah, Brucie??!!!

would do a great job of disguising you!! You wouldn't stand out at all!!

Ramadan is over by Saturday, yes?

ah HA! Ramada Sports bar? May have to wear a false beard and bricky's bum jeans (hub not a rugby fan, so would have to go solo) but who cares!

just don't know where I could watch the match :(
