Well - as Wales have gone - I'll support England!
Too early for drinking though! :D
I reckon they will win by a small margin - but just as long as it's a good game I'm not really bothered!

If England win it's all we'll be hearing for the next 12 months, how it's a great win for Britain etc etc! The media will have even more of a reason to ignore the other home countries and that is SO annoying! So for the sake of the game (and to stop England thinking they're a truly world-class team) Australia HAVE to win!

i take back everything nice i have ever said about you :cry: :p
edit: "we kinda get used to it now" correct me if im wrong coggy, but isn't that sentence grammatically incorrect?
I wish you would.... :D
OK that's below the belt!
Remember, you'll never be bald like me....you'll always have that over me :spin:
I'm married to a half Welshman/Englishman who has a hell of a time deciding who to support sometimes.However as I say to him at least he gets two choices and if one sinks he can always shout for the other side.
Incog. :waving:
Looks like I'm the first to vote "don't care" :)
Edit: Doh ! no I'm not, I'm sure that vote wasn't there a minute ago.

*watches for england to win and then the team and english fans getting big headed aka cocky :rolleyes:
I am a football nut, but for my 2 cents worth, england will win.Australia have not been convincing in their games,and england have been the total professionals --as always.( Just remember--if england win--that means Wales were knocked out by the world champions !)
Bring on the 6 Nations !
Can someone please tell me why "Swing low sweet chariot" -- a negro slave song,has become the unofficial anthem of england's rugby team?
Great Britain will win.*

England will win, it is the quality team. I want to see good rugby today.

Can someone please tell me why "Swing low sweet chariot" -- a negro slave song,has become the unofficial anthem of england's rugby team?
Its became the anthem at Twickenham as explained below.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot
The mid 1980s was not a great period for the England team. Coming into the last match of the 1988 season, against Ireland at Twickenham, they had lost 15 of their previous 23 matches in the Five Nations Championship. The Twickenham crowd had only seen one solitary England try in the previous two years and at half time against Ireland they were 0-3 down. The mood of the home support was understandably sombre.
Then it happened.
During the second half the floodgates opened. England scored a remarkable six tries in a thumping 35-3 win. Three of the tries came in quick succession from Chris Oti, a black player winning his second England cap but making his Twickenham debut. A small section of the crowd started to belt out a rugby club favourite †“ the gospel hymn †˜Swing Low, Sweet Chariotââ‚à ‚¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ †“ in honour of their new hero, and as the tries continued to come so the numbers singing the song increased.
That might have been the end of it.
However, at the next Twickenham home game, against Australia, a young centre named Will Carling made his debut as England captain in another rousing victory. The England team was about to embark upon a period of great success and the Twickenham crowd was about to be offered many more opportunities to bellow out the song that had now become synonymous with Twickenham and the England team.
I think I should get a thank you from each and every one of you for the following reason.
I am a jinx to any of Englands sporting chances if I watch or listen to the matches.If I watch them they lose.
Therefore as a consequence I'm forbidden from watching such events(suits me down to the ground not being a sports lover) by my husband.However if hubby wants to watch I have to go out or get lost in some fashion.
This morning I went out and had to dodge the match everywhere.Even in the middle of the Saturday Open market it was being watched.In the supermarket it was on the radio.
It even cost me the price of a new mouse/phaser as I had to duck into a PC shop to pass the time.
Eventually I was allowed back home.
You have no idea of the struggles of the lone sports jonah to allow the fans to feel happy.;)
Incog. :walk:
:LOL: coggy....my mum is banned from watching footie....we always loose when she watches, and until she moved in with her current boyf she wasnt interested in ruggers, so we were safe on that score..but it seems her jinx is only applicable to fottie (i dont care im not a footie fan)
I hate sport if it involves a ball but I was riveted to the tv (and radio later on, whilst on the M25) and I had goospimples and hairs standing up on the back of my neck listening to the final moments of the match. And I'm not even English.
Well done that team!
