We Won!!!!!!! [Big Grin]

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 [Wink] .

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.

You only won because of that little twirp Johnny Wilkinson... just think of how much MORE money he's going to get now?

England didn't win very convincingly.

But well done, I guess you have to win something, sometimes - law of averages and everything. [Smile]

On top of all that - I'd have to say that was one of the most exciting games of Rugby I've seen in a long time!!

And for all those who scoff at Rugby - the Rugby World Cup is the third largest sporting event behind the Olympics and the Soccer World Cup.

Are you saying the the Australians should have won, and that there was foul play????

Oh, this is sports, not politics... Nevermind....

Our Indianapolis 500 is still the largest single-day sporting event in the world though [Wink]

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.
