Then again, we haven't played anyone who gave us a decent game since the All Blacks either.

**TheStinger** · October 22, 2003, 06:38

When the AB beat the boks by 19 points I bet that will be proof that they are an awseome world class side who can never ever be defeated ever.

**MikeH** · October 22, 2003, 06:43

Yep. Although to be fair at least their team doesn't totally suck like the Boks and the Aussies.

**TheStinger** · October 22, 2003, 06:45

No they are a good side.

Absolutely. I’ve written before on how our pack will dominate the English pack in some areas but not others, and the loose play was the area I mentioned. And even Tamerlin agreed with that!

Show me the sentence!

:wary:

after a lucky try resulting from a chargedown

Diving at the fly halves feet for a charge down is the sign of a really talented player in actual fact. Most players bottle it and go high. Mr Moody was responsible.

I've already said we played pretty poorly - and still won. I don't find that as depressing as some of you seem to think it should be - strange that?

**MikeH** · October 22, 2003, 07:18

They just don't like the idea that the England side is so good that we can beat one of the best sides in the world comfortably even when playing really badly.

Show me the sentence!

You said it in the previous thread:

I am suitably prepared. I think your forwards will dominate ours in some areas, but not others.

True, this is exactly what I am saying in this post.

Andydog quoting Tamerlin
True, this is exactly what I am saying in this post.

Saying that this single sentence means you will dominate the English forwards in the loose play is a dubious interpretation of what I have written.

You could as well pretend the AB will dominate the English in the scrums... :disdain:

I hate being caught in the act...

**Andydog** · October 22, 2003, 07:30

True, the context was more to do with the speed of the AB forwards vs the speed of the Pommy forwards, but hell it was worth digging at anyway!

**Tamerlin** · October 22, 2003, 07:55

Crook!

**Havak** · October 22, 2003, 08:03

And if you think your lossies are faster than ours it's a flawed dig anyway. Sure back these days has lost a little pace in the loose - but Moody and Worsley can keep up wth anything in a black shirt (and playing in the forwards).

Two Boks in our team for Samoa - Catt and Abbott.

I didn't see the game at all (I was out of the country), but the scoreline says we kicked their arses and the only team that scored a try was us.

A true fan a see.

While you're about it lets hear about '66 - again.

**Mickeyj** · October 22, 2003, 08:26

Rugby players are becoming one of our greatest exports.

Good to see Abott given a game, the old Western Province coach who considered Percy a talent treated him like ....... good to see him get a run. He scored a great try against Natal a few years ago, strange how these thing s stick in your mind.

You try and find a bar showing the game in Rotterdam and I'll give you a medal.
