Re: Rugby World Cup 2011

Whilst I'd love England to win, I'd also love to see the team who play the most entertaining rugby triumph. Although England have recently shown they can score lots of tries and play an exciting and expansive game, history shows that they've done best in these competitons when they've played tight, utilised their forwards and ground out results. On such a stage I don't see England wanting to risk chucking the ball around too much to win fans amongst the press corps and imagine they'll play in a controlled manner, hoping to minimise risks and win their games by hook or by crook. From what I've seen so far, however, I don't see Manu Tuilagi settling for anything less than 100% power, speed and aggression on the pitch and maybe his role in galvanising his teamates will determine how England play in spite of what Johnson set outs in the dressing room.
