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.


Australia lost to Ireland who we of course destroyed only a few weeks ago. They're even worse than the All Blacks for complaining about all their injuries and look disjointed and ripe for the picking. A shame we probably won't be the team to knock them out cos that's been fun the last 2 World Cups.


South Africa were reliant on the ref deciding that James Hook's penalty hadn't gone over otherwise they'd have been staring down the barrel as well. They've been leaking points very freely, that's 24 now in just 4 games, and that includes 16 in one game! Wouldn't catch England conceding so many points in a match during a world cup.


Ireland failed to even score a try against the Wallabies and we all know how easy it is to beat them in World Cups. I barely even remember the last time we lost to them, and I know full well we've never lost to Ireland in a world cup (and don't go on about how we've never played, cos you're just making excuses)


Wales conceded a try against Namibia and barely even got past Samoa! They also lost to South Africa so it's fairly obvious they're not a threat - I simply cannot imagine how a top class team such as England could ever lose to them so that'd be something of a bye into the final should they meet us in the semi.


France - well this one speaks for itself. A dismal 20 point loss to New Zealand, eclipsed only in its embarrassingly poor nature by a shocking defeat to Tonga. They are in clear disarray, with a squad crippled with the sort of ill-discipline and irresponsible behaviour you simply wouldn't get from a professional outfit like England. It'll be almost too easy to breeze past them next Saturday.


So there you have it, a solid, unified and disciplined England team playing convincing and attractive rugby lining up against 7 teams without a good phase of rugby between them. There's only one winner to this thing. You might call it classic English arrogance but what can you do when we're Simply the Best?

"could only scrape a win against Scotland, reliant on a late try from the right wing so we're clearly streaks ahead of them".

An obvious pi*s take. Perhaps written by someone like Risteard Cooper no doubt. Good read.

I wonder have Nike made their video yet



I really hope we get a crack at them.

I love the first reply to the post on that site!

Hmmmm is your oven on for the humble pie? I've always kept my gob firmly shut in circumstances such as these, for starters, I won't have to listen to my Scottish workmates tittering away should I be proved incorrect and also, it makes one appear a much more calm, cooler and level headed character. Best not to be too carried away by such things as injuries to other teams, it makes it sound that that would be the only reason we'd beat them.

A closed mouth gathers no foot.

Been watching ITV punditry lately? You would swear you took that right off the auto-cue England are already in the final apparently. They do alot of the sending up on their own.

Don't get me wrong England are a really good team when they are on form capable of beating anyone and winning the World Cup. Are England on form though? The French are imploding so reckon England will make at least the semi.


That's a nice article though.

Of course the irish media or the average irish rugby bandwagon jumping idiot would never big up our chances would they?

corkman123

well actually no, not to this extreme!!

Maybe dominant at scoring totty for hire on a night out.

In fairness though, they are usually decent at playing cup rugby and if we meet them in the semi's they will be very hard to beat.

New Zealand have lost their only good player through injury

This made me laugh the most
