Rugby World Cup!?

Question

Does England stand a chance against the Aussies in the upcoming rugby world cup game this Saturday?

Answer 1

Yes they do. They are very shaky at the moment and odds are definitely against them, but they are professional enough to manage a win.

Australia, even though they are a great rugby playing nation, are hiding behind past performances and have not had a hard match yet, so the shocker could be theirs, whereas England have had it hard all along this WC.

Answer 2

Of course England stand a chance...not a good one, but a chance nevertheless.

Answer 3

21-20 with Wilkinson kicking 7 drop goals

Answer 4

After watching the South Africa, England game and given how Aussies played South Africa in the Tri Nations I don't believe they have a chances.

But who knows, when it comes to the Quarter Finals of the World Cup anything is possible.

I do believe England plays smart rugby, but Aussie too play very smart Rugby and as New Zealand have learnt, you can never write off the Aussies.

Answer 5

No way!

The Auusies will get revenge for the theft of the RWC from them in 2003

Answer 6

I think Larkham may only appear to not be missed because the Australians have not really been tested. This kid Barnes has only played two tests for Australia. Wilkinson has won a world cup.

If they can target Barnes with Andy Farell and put pressure on the kid with their loose men and slow his ball down their may be some surprises.

I think Barnes is the only weak link. Aussie defense is smarter than all others and if you give them an inch they will take the proverbial mile or two or three. Waiting to see Tuqiri spark up, and Gits will be a handful. Latham seems to have returned to great form - how good is he, would never have known he had been out with an injury.

Answer 7

No chance really, the english's only good player is wilks who will be shut down by the aussies and the rest of the english team just sucks sh*t

Answer 8

England has a chance, but based on how well the Aussies are playing, they have to be the favorites (even w/o Larkham, who does not appear to be missed).

Answer 9

I'm afraid not.

Answer 10

i wouldnt write the english off.anything is possible.
