Re: Rugby World Cup 2011

Johnson will want England to be playing the game they need to win not just entertain. If they can do both so much the better but the 2 previous RWC competitions have shown England perform best when they've had to grind out results. IIRC NZ lost a key match against Australia in the recent tri-nations series because they declined to take safe penalty points in favour of tries which never came. Their style is wonderfully attractive for the most part but has sometimes cost them dear when it really matters. The reverse seems to be truer for England - it may not be pretty but it's got them the winners and runners up medals in the last 2 competitions.
