Hutch,
Real good to see the English have a win over the Aussies!.
The Commentators were saying over here, last night that this is the first time that the English have won the Webb-Ellis trophy, is this true?.
I bet that there are some hung over people around the UK today (and in Australia!!).

First time for the northern hemisphere Mike!

I was in situ the first time, when South Africa took it - with Mandela in the rugby shirt and the low flying 747 over Ellis Park - that was pretty awesome too.

what a game..

had me on the edge of my seat

better luck next time Aus

It's still just a bunch of guys chasing a ball around a muddy field to me. Nothing to get the slightest bit excited about!

I was in an office working on a software update yesterday morning, and the game was on TV in the corner. Every so often there'd be some yell that made me jump. I think the guys thought I was mad for being more interested in my Pascal compiler than in the game.

Each to his own.....

Well I'm certainly glad that the World Cup is all over.
Our TVOne over here has had the rights to all the games and they have taken to the whole thing like a rabid dog.
Endless hours of "analysis" (boring talk by Commentators and so-called experts), replays of "highlights", just so that you can hear the Commentators words!.
Bring on the Cricket Season I say, at least the whole thing is on Sky, and thier Commentators don't waffle on like there is no tommorrow, they're paid to Commentate, not bore you to pieces!.
