Well the whole rugby planet except England is pissed. Maybe it's because 99% of their game is based on JW. They do it well allright, but is so boring, so out of class... It's hardly rugby... Why do you think there were extra points given after four tries in pool matches? So we could see real games. And the only game England managed to really play rugby in was against Uruguay...
England is to rugby what Italy is to football: negative.
(In a movie they'd be the bad guys team

)

But they won and it wasn't an easy thing so well done. No team proved to be strong enough so stop them. Congratulations.
I just hope this doesn't set the new standards for the next four years or more, otherwise it's going to be really boring.

Thats why this final was dubbed one of the most exciting!!

That's only because there was some suspens, not because of the quality of the game displayed.

we didn't play well, i didn't ever say that i'm sick of being branded a boring rugby team just because we are finally winning games by showing we can play a more expansive game of rugby.

Look, as I've said before but I guess you missed the post, England have the best team around and they've displayed that potential for the last two years. I'm just disappointed they played it safe during this competition and believe they would have made it easier for them if they'd had any guts to take some risks.
I can assure you if England had played as they have in the past two years before the world cup and won it I would have shut up and applaud. They didn't.

Only joshin, England did well. They're the best rugby team in the world and deserved to win the world cup, but ponrauil said it best:

Hang on, during the last two years England has been playing incredible rugby, and against the best nations, no doubt. But not in this competition, I'm sorry.
England IS the best rugby team on this planet right now, they just didn't win the world cup playing like it. They've been playing it safe through all the competition.

This can't be denied by anybody, not even the English. Hell, Clive Woodward has been saying it all through the competition. Safe is exactly the word to describe their rugby. No flair, no excitement, just middle of the road, down the line, kicking rugby, which is so dissapointing when they're capable of so much more. I'm just dissapointed that they felt they had to resort to this sort of game, when playing beautiful flowing rugby is something they can be so good at, and are probably the best at.

Never mind, at least Wales probably gave them the biggest challenge behind the aussies, and definitely the biggest scare!!
