Dominant England on course for World Cup Glory
Another devastatingly convincing performance from England, overcoming the gritty and ugly-rugby playing Scots to prevail yet again and preserve our perfect 100% record. No matter what opponent is put in our path we show the strength of character and high level of skill and mental attitude to display our utter superiority over the rest of the rugby world and cruise through one comfortable victory after another.
A team unified, convincing, focussed and dominant
It's a shame that we'll only have to beat France and then some Celts before winning the final because no doubt those small-minded and jealous nations who don't win the World Cup will say we had it easy and make up nonsense about us fixing the draw. I'd almost rather have come second in the group so we could get New Zealand done and dusted before beating the Wallabies and Springboks easily. Tactically this might have made sense therefore to lose to Scotland but we're just such winners, there's no way we could allow ourselves to lose. We obviously gave it some thought, but just decided in the 76th minute that we may as well just win every match, not least for the stats and whatnot.
Now that the Quarter Final draw is complete, we can look at how weak the other 7 teams are and therefore how comfortabe England should find the next 3 weeks:
New Zealand have lost their only good player through injury and seem certain to fall apart now. They've not exactly been convincing to date anyway, only 36 tries and 240 points scored so far and that meagre total mostly just from biased refereeing influenced by unfairly Kiwi crowds. They've already got the benefit of playing at home, I don't see why the majority of the fans should be from the country as well
Argentina could only scrape a win against Scotland, reliant on a late try from the right wing so we're clearly streaks ahead of them - also evidenced by our crushing obliteration of them earlier in the tournament. Could well meet them in the final cos they're in the weak half of the draw but nothing to fear there.

Just watched the "Secret Millionaire" that was filmed in Dundalk.
When they film these shows they try and make the area look as poor as possible and show all the rough areas and general urban decay.
My house is shown @ 45.29 I always thought my street was considered a nice area!

Currently in Shanghai, arrived yesterday. It's holiday week in China as yesterday was 62nd anniversary of communist taking control so decided to stay here all week as travelling is next to impossible. I'm booked into hostel until Friday... but clearly staying until Monday as found a a lovely bar which is showing all the world cup games, where I saw the Italy match today, so going to be living there next weekend. It's going to be a massive week for irish sport with QF and possible semi final in world cup and in between our final 2 euro 2012 qualifiers and a chance to win the group.
This is the first time in 11 months I've wished I was back home.
(oh cheers to whoever here recommended the tiger leaping gorge trek, it was awesome)

Originally posted by jbravado View PostCould not disagree more. Absolutely fantastic to hear people whispering the idea that this team can win a World Cup, certainly within the realms of reality and uplifting to see people dream. SPORT imo.
Like if I say i think Liverpool will win the premiership, will the same posters thank it.
Or if i say Waterford/Kildare are a good bet for the double next year, what do you think will happen. SPORT imo.
Sensationalist imo. I simply said lets not get carried away but you say "uplifting to see people dream". Give me a break with all due respect.
