AP,

We only send it because you idi0ts pay for it!!! I agree it is crap.

And don't forget that Samoa, with a national poulation of just 180,000 gave England a run for their money who have a RUGBY PLAYING population of over 500,000.

And I'll never forget, after we beat the lions a couple of years ago hearing a whinging pommie giving an excuse to his other pommie mate, "well it is hardly fair, look at the size of Australia compared to the UK". In his theory Antarctica should have beaten the Lions! Someone should tell him it is all about quality!!!

Cheers guys! Great to hear you lot being gracious in defeat. I'm sure we can return the favour soon!!

Thanks again, a pleasure to play you chaps in the final.

Now if only we can get the yanks to play this blokes game as opposed to the girly 'American Footy, armour plated pussies game'.

That would make it sweet!

Hands up who would want to drop an NFL player at the half way line?

Jerricho,
I'm sorry about spelling KWANTUS incorrectly, I got caught up in the moment.!

As a prisoner of her majesty i can only hope that if the result had been the other way round we'd've been as gracious as the majority of Aussies on this board and elsewhere.

Hey, Engineout

Ok, more fool us for buying them! Re. Samoa, don't confuse the stats for "those who say they play rugby" with "those who really do play rugby"!

Anyway, when are you guys going to start playing foottie? That would be fun.

What about an inter-airline cup?

Just made an arrival PA into LHR, taking England rugby fans home:


"Welcome to England, home of the Rugby World Cup"

Couldn't hear ATC for 3 mins!!!!

What a game, showpiece for world rugby for years to come.

AP,

if the "footie" you are referring to is soccer, then I think you should have a look at the result from earlier this year, I think you'll find we beat ya, ha ha! For a game that doesn't even get televised down here, we did alright!

Engineout -

Oops! There was something in the back of my mind...must have blocked it from my memory!

Still, and inter-line cup would be a hoot, wouldn't it? What about Qantas v. ANS?
