    It's a worry that tonight's referee is another Frenchman .. in my opinion, South Africans as a rule are by far the best referees .. strict without being over-officious and fussy and prepared to let the game flow .. we will see

    Mr Watson in 2003?

    Romain Poite (pronounced 'pwat') is the French referee presiding over Saturday's do-or-die clash between England and Australia.

    Good profession to get into Mr Prat
  • Dodgy start, but encouraging first attack. Come on England. 3 - 0
  • 3 - 3

    Awful first half

  • I think yes. Low scoring game, narrow win.

    I don't think yes anymore.

    Rugby is a joke sport.
    1. Georgia ask's every year for the six nations countries to play them every year its rejected.
    2. 12 years ago the olympics wanted to include rugby and asked the top 8 nations in the world to help the smaller nations develop. Ireland, Scotland and Wales point blank refused, because they wanted to safeguard their position in the worlds top eight.
    3. Argentina asked to join the 5 nations years ago and were point blankly refused even though all their players play in europe and Brussells or Madrid would have been their home. All the six nations countrys play Argentina in Freindlys every year anyway.
    4. Why was the draw made 3 years before the start of the tournament? meaning when it actually started Australia, England and Wales were all in the worlds top 4.

    There is loads more reasons....
  • The fact that ITV has had to explain that this match takes importance over the X-Factor says

    (1) Why its a nothing sport

    (2) Answers the thread question about Football becoming one of the less cared about sports here, that would never happen during the proper World Cup and will be proven in 2022

    Well you've convinced me to stop following rugby. Turning telly over now and not bothered if the Aussies win.
    From now on I'll just rely on charlton for my sporting happiness

    This is very upsetting

    Bottom 3 in the six nations should have to qualify for the following years tournament. Three groups of three playing each other once would give the likes of Argentina and Georgia (as well as Romania, Spain, Russia and Belgium).
