  As an England fan, I'm very nervous today.

  It's a "must win" game against the Aussies.

  The memories  of England's last final appearence are still fresh,   but this is not as good a team as then.

  Working in Wales as I have been,  this past week has been a nightmare, after the result last week.

  Tonight, the rugby world cup gets interesting, again.

  Finding a Scot to support England is like finding a Kiwi to support Aussie, LOL.

  Come on England.  I live in Aussie so could do without it the other way LOL, especially after all the beers I offered to celebrate the Ashes :)

  I really hope England wins.

  I also really hope that Japan pulls off another upset and beat Samoa.

  And yeah, I hope we (the boks) can beat the darn Scots!

  My prediction for the final:

  New Zealand v Ireland/France

  I really hope England lost because it's our hereditary enemy in rugby. ^^

   

  I dont believe that France go to the final, our team is not among the best in recent time.

   

  More of that we are finalist all the 12 years (3 cups) 1987, 1999, 2011 ... so the next is for 2023.

  LOL, yes like so many things, the English invent it and others perfect it!

  That said, the "pool of death" was always going to have a big name casualty. sadly for England, it was them.

  I also hold a British Passport and lived there for over 10 years and have been to Twickers supporting England (but not against Australia) so todays result had mixed feelings. But as an Aussie first and foremost, I am happy.

  As for the post match interviews,  give me a gun (British interviewer) - to the English coach - "what is the feeling in the dressing room" and "are you staying on". 

  I know what the British press can be like, but seriously.........
