| *laughs* I'd prefer Chris Cussiter but I am biased because I'm an RGU student in Aberdeen (where he was born me'thinks). Dan Parks is the biggest waste of space I have seen ever. The guy just hoofs the ball with no control or direction. Hw was only brought in by that idiot Matt Williams. At one poin... |

| I'd go further than that and just say South Africa. Australia are a mess right now and Wales are going to seriously challenge them for a win today. I agree with that assessment with England and New Zealand. We can worry them at the scrum and the line out and we can make them tired after 80 minutes. ... |

| I definitely wouldn't mind to go to Canada at the same time as the Churchill Cup. I'd be interested to see how a Steve Hansen Wales handled Canada. Especially considering how young the Wales side were then. Watched the Edinburgh Cardiff Blues game and Canadian wing Mike Pyke was excellent. Pity that... |

| I thought so. England always seem to clean up against teams like Canada because they're slow off of the rucks and thus its easier to create gaps...but that said teams like England do tend to get caught if a big heavy flanker goes on a charge with the ball and that has happened to England when they f... |

| *sings*If I were a carpenter, and you were a douche-bag...*un-sings* One thing I always wanted to know about the North American nations. What kind of Rugby do they play? Do they like a more English style, forward orientated game with a heavy pack or are they into a wide, expansive and fast running C... |

| Sean Lamont is class. The guy probably still gives All Black Coach Graham Henry sleepless nights after the way he cut through the superb New Zealand line like a hot knife through butter. I would say, with proper preparation and with the right squad, a Frank Hadden led Lions squad could make mincemea... |

XD Hey, if you are down from Scotland in England sometime between now and January, want to go see a game? I'm based in Worcester but if you're down in the south of England I'd b... |

| The blame for that specifically lies squarely with Brian Moore. I can tell you most England fans can't stand him. When he opens his mouth all you hear is "Blah blah blah!" The three usual pundits of Keith Wood, Gavin Edwards and Jeremy Gussgott talk alot of sense though. Calm, restrained (... |

| Yeah. That's why England are the World Champions and Scotland, Wales and Ireland are not and never have been. And I predict England will win the World Cup again in 2007. Are you on crack mate? We currently have: The most incompetent head coach in the last 15 years. The biggest period of internal st... |

| Yeeeowch! I bet he has the speed too to be a decent No.8. Guys like Martin Corry and Lawrence Dallaglio are (or were some might argue) excellent as no.8s. There was an excellent move at the end of a 5 meter scrum from the line in England vs Wales last year and you saw Dallaglio (no.8 at that time) w... |

| Being no.8 must be so much fun because if you want, you could be a flanker too if you wanted which means there is so much extra you can do on top of whats expected of you in your primary position. |

I'll have to have a serious think. My squad to face New Zealan... |

| Yeah we were there WE were also there when we kicked the ass out of England! lol Sorry. Heh, I'm not bitter, the better side won on the day. Dazzling defence, iron discipline and skillful mastery of the damp conditions made all the difference in that game. England on the other hand were disorganise... |
