Whats's the difference between The Wallabies, The All Blacks, Fiji and an arsonist ??

An arsonist wouldn't waste five matches.
Now that, Sir, is completely unfair and unwarranted!

Fiji played their arses off to match their best ever RWC performance, and only went out to one of the Rugby giants after a spirited performance including 2 tries with a man in the bin!

No argument with the rest though. smile

Whats the differnce between The All Blacks and a bra.

The All Blacks have all support but no cup.

Possibly could have mentioned that a certain family member missed a couple of penalties for the Wobbalies as well.

England did exactly what they did in 2003, ground their way to the other end of the field so that if a shot was on offer they were in a position to take it.

A rather sheite version of the running game, but a brutally professional approach, to be honest I didn't think they could repeat it without Martin Johnson.

I wonder if tampon Jonny has another two games on the trot in him.

Only reason Wilkinson gets injured so much is because he puts his body on the line on every game and does a huge amount of defensive work.

Hate crap comments like that

No denying Wilko's effectiveness & kicking prowess but there are other fly half's that put their body in as much or more than him & they don't have the same injury record. Original comment has some validity for sure - he is more fragile than most IMO.

Seriously, name one fly half who gets through more defensive work than Wilkinson. I don't know of one in the history of the game?

Here's an article i read re the recent SA tour !

Growing concern about Jonny Wilkinson's wellbeing has prompted the England management to take urgent steps to save their battered fly-half from further punishment if he recovers sufficiently to face South Africa in this weekend's second and last Test at Loftus Versfeld.

Wilkinson was the team's top tackler in the bruising 58-10 first-Test defeat to South Africa in Bloemfontein and showed rare courage in halting the Springbok No8 Danie Rossouw on several occasions. Ultimately he was forced off with a back problem and facial cuts and his coaches have now acknowledged that he needs special protection in order to prolong his Test career.

Under a new policy which will raise eyebrows among opposing forwards, Wilkinson's team-mates have literally been ordered to shove their illustrious No10 out of harm's way whenever possible, theoretically giving him more time to concentrate on shaping other aspects of the game more effectively.

Similar attempts to shield him have been made in the past to little effect. England have relied on his remarkable defensive work - few fly-halves in the sport's history have shown a greater appetite for big hits - but the 28-year-old's injury record over the past three years cannot be ignored. "We want players to push him out of the way," said England's defense coach, Mike Ford, confirming that Wilkinson had topped his defensive chart last Saturday with 14 tackles. In second place was the Harlequins No8 Nick Easter with 13 tackles and 18 carries. "The guys have got to protect the half-backs better," said Ford.

We did? I thought in 2003 we played excellent, largely error free, controlled multi phase rugby that put men over the try line when the defence had been stretched enough for the holes to appear ( men, plural, Ben Kay should have scored a try but dropped the bloody thing for no reason over the try line) and then Jonny nailed any kicks needed.

In 2007 we played passionate, power based rugby, a mad scrambled breakdown game and hoped Jonny landed more pot shots at goal than your chaps. It wasnt error free, it wasnt that professional, it wasnt controlled and it wasnt multi-phase rugby and Jonny didnt nail everything in sight - he bloody missed more than he hit I think!

What the hell was the same?
