Question

Even if England manage to beat Australia on Saturday can they really put in a performance to beat New Zealand?

Answer 1

They may not have to play New Zealand, France have pretty good record against the All blacks in recent years.

Answer 2

I agree with welshchick. We need to learn from our mistake in 1999. Yes we do haver a stronger team than the French on paper, but that was also the case in 1999.

We need to pull our head in and stop getting too far ahead of ourselves

Answer 3

Not may WE love England so much do not what to change the name or something of it.

Answer 4

I can answer your question by highlighting two omissions in it.

It should have started    "Once upon a time ...".

It should end    ".. and they lived happily ever after (at least they did in Australia!)"

Answer 5

no but if the french beat the all blacks 4 us we can take the french apart!! c'mon on u english

Answer 6

who knows but still beating the Aussies will be an achievements itself

anyway why the assumption? history could repeat itself like in 1999

Answer 7

they can't

Answer 8

Actually the Aussies are off their game at the moment and England are improving I believe but even so, no-one can say that its impossible.  That's ridiculous.  Of course England can beat the Aussies, of course it is possible.  It is just not likely.

Answer 9

no chance!!!!!

but i would love yous 2 beat those southern hemisphere shitheads especially australia  in2 touch there so full off ****, yous probaly wont, but gud luck anyway from ireland....

Answer 10

not really necessary to answer this one as it wont happen. England will not beat Australia.

Answer 11

OMG.............why is everyone assuming the AB's are going to beat France..........lets get this weekend over before we make assumptions on the semi's.............

By the by........if the poms beat the convicts i owe you a BJ:))

Answer 12

England doesn't have a chance against Australia so no need to answer the question.  Maybe another year?

Answer 13

I remember when I was in OZ when we beat them in the finals in 2003. After dominating headlines about how they would slaughter us it was very amusing how they quite literally shut right up after we beat them. History is repeating itself it seems. Now both Australia & NZ are out, and while I still can't quite believe it, I am elated that the underdogs on both sides igorned the flippant ego coming at them and did their jobs with pride and strength. d**n, this is a fine day for world rugby! As Borat would say, 'Nice!'

Answer 14

well england just don't have the depth or experience to beat australia let alone challange the all blacks (all blacks will have no problem destroying the french) the matches to watch are the semis and the finals they'll be the only close ones.

Answer 15

Tie ho fella:  Lets not put the cart in of the horse!  The Skips are going to cream the poms so do yourself a favour and don't even bother getting your hopes up.  Seriously England have a tight 5 that do that boring, tedious stingey style better than anyone else (Not that thats a good thing) But I can't stress this point any more ...  Your midfield is rubbish!!  Giteau and Mortlock will punch thru for at least a couple 5 pointers each.

  Your question reminds me of the Irishman who asked if Ireland will finish top of their pool...  Ouch!!

Answer 16

I don't reckon they will have to.  England can beat Australia and France can beat New Zealand.

England vs France in the semis would be awesome!

Answer 17

no-one  picked SouthAfrica to beat NZ in 95 or France to beat NZ in 1999.Argentina to beat France of Fiji to beat Wales in this tournament.England have to believe in themselves to win,there is on thing i do know THE ALLBLACKS ARE GONNA WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
