First major trophy England's won since 1966. Australia played very well and it was a very close run thing but in the end we won so there .

The All Blacks dinked up their shot at it. It all became less interesting at that point. But go UK! You kicking nancies.

I find it so strange that even though rugby is harder (no forward passes) and more violent than american football, they still have less gear.
Some of them wore earguards and gloves, at least. If my ear was torn loose and hung against my temple, I'd probably toss any number of cookies.

"England didn't win very convincingly." Are you saying the the Australians should have won, and that there was foul play????
Oh, this is sports, not politics... Nevermind....

I'm saying they won in the dying seconds of the second extra time of the final match... by 1 field goal kicked by Johnny Wilkinson.
